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 Lights

Critical Lights is a very successful combination of Northern Lights #5 and Critical cannabis strains. It produces exceptional results for the novice and the experienced grower alike and is 90% indica in genetic composition. This plant grows medium to tall in height and produces big yields of easily manicured buds with a high bud to leaf ratio. The bud size and density is such that staking or netting will be necessary in order to support the buds and prevent the stems from snapping. Indoors growers can expect to harvest between 500 - 600 gr/m2 with 8 weeks flowering. Outdoors yields are a terrific 1200 - 1500 gr/plant with harvest time expected in the middle of September in the northern hemisphere. Both flavour and aroma feature a nice blend of spice and fruit from the NL#5 and Critical parents. The effect will please both recreational and medicinal users with its 21% THC producing a relaxing high that can ease away aches and worries.
