Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

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.

Heritage: Critical Skunk Category: The Naturals - Old school genetics Family of breed: 75% skunk, 25% Afghan Breeder: Nevil and Shantibaba Preferred medium: Bio and Hydro, Indoors and outdoors/greenhouse Expected yield: Critical Skunk has the potential to be a heavy strong plant and one for those commercial ventures. We would expect it to yield similarly to the Critical mass 650-800 grams per square meter. Of course we are talking of a selected mother being cloned in this yield estimation. Flowering period: Indoor flowering usually takes between 6-8 weeks but it really depends upon the mother you select. Grown outside in the Northern Hemisphere it would expect to be complete around the end of September or early October. In the Southern Hemisphere you could count on March for com
