Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 Desert Skunk

Desert Skunk, An Insanely Early-Maturing Sativa The Desert Skunk can grow outdoors in some of the most inhospitable places on earth. This fast-flowering, early-maturing and mold-resistant strain is a dream come true for outdoor growers in cold climates. Resulting of a cross between an old Skunk#1 from the Super Sativa Seed Club and a Moroccan Beldia, this True f1 is probably one of the fastest flowering Sativas in the world. Not only does this strain start flowering early outdoors but it is also fast-flowering. In the northern hemisphere, the Desert Skunk often starts blooming in early July and finishes in early September. It is usually ripe before the cold autumn rains while sun exposure is still optimal. Bred especially for guerrilla growing, this vigorous Moroccan Skunk will also give incredible results indoors were most plants are fully ripe in under 60 days. Although it stretches a lot, the Desert Skunk is very easy to grow and low maintenance. A Sativa Diva The Khalifa team has been able to combine drought resistance and extreme earliness of the Moroccan Beldia with the mold resistance and copious trichome density of the 1980s’ SSSC Skunk. This 85% Sativa hybrid quickly produ
