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 Sour

Critical Sour from Female Seeds is a feminised cannabis strain created to provide a powerful and tasty strain with an early harvest to avoid autumn rains, and can be harvested in early September. It is a polyhybrid combining several different strains, the mother is Morocco x Grapefruit and the father is (Auto NL x AutoNL) x Auto Critical. The resulting plants are compact with strong trunks and branches. Its limited height makes it ideal for discreet outdoor cultivation, being hard to spot easily. Its cultivation is easy both indoors and outdoors, resistant to adverse weather conditions, making it an excellent option for beginners to cannabis cultivation. Critical Sour is an Indica-dominant hybrid that doubles its size during the stretch at the onset of blooming. During flowering it forms large and dense buds coated with resin. Its yield when grown indoors is 300-450g per m2 and 180-250g per plant outdoors. It is a plant that does not smell too strongly in flowering, making it a good option to go undetected while growing in the garden. Its scent is fruity with earthy and spicy notes, with a pineapple taste reminiscent of Grapefruit. Its effect is fast acting and physically relaxing,
