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.

About Dark Horse

There are multiple different phenotypes to Dark Horse. There are two however that stand out completely. One is a green pheno with green fan and trim leaves and the other is a very dark purple phenotype with dark purple, almost black fan leaves. Mom was a White Rhino plant and this Indica-dominant cross will provide much relief for conditions that involve pain, anxiety, or an inability to sleep well at night or nap during the day. Children using this strain as a medicine may become tired during the day and may find it harder to follow direction or may act out as a result. We recommend this strain during the day only for high energy persons and otherwise it is more effective in the evening and at night
