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 X

The Critical X from Apex is its stump par excellence. With more than ten years of existence, it’s a variety which originally comes from California. For more than a decade, specialists have been choosing in the different crop fields, mother plants genetically provided with the own and most distinctive features of the plant. Its ease for growing must be remarked, being this the reason why it is recommended for any type of grower. Furthermore, it is a plant with a precocious growing (being considered faster than Apex) and highly recommended for indoor spaces during the winter seasons, because of its resistance to cold. Besides, its buds are characterized by being compact and hard and by containing resin. It has a powerful sweet scent and a strong fruity flavour which will captivate consumers’ taste buds. The citrus and bluish mixed nuance achieved makes Critical X unique and genuine. It’s characterized by its hybrid predominance. The effects experienced after its consumption are, first of all, cerebral, followed by a relaxing and delightful physical feeling
