Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Critical Cake

Critical Cake is a cross between a Wedding Cake (Triangle Mints #23) from seedjunky and a Critical Kush male from Barney's Farm. There are several backcrosses (BX) as well as F2's of the Critical Cake line from Grandma's Genetics. However, the two most important are: Critical Cake #1 x Critical Kush = "Grandma's OG" - Stunted growth, Shorter internode spacing, slow flowering, Lime Mint aroma. Critical Cake #7 x Critical Kush = "Official Critical Cake" - Wider internode spacing, spaghetti shaped pistils, faster flowering, berry vanilla aroma
