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 Detroit Red

Detroit Red is great for both indoors as well as outdoors. If growing with limited height I highly suggest hard topping/mainlining with a trellis or yo-yo's as you'll see vigorous growth in both VEG and FLWR. Phenos come in green & lavender/light purple buds, both having thick orange hairs & coated in mouth-watering trichs for a stacked, greasy-wet bud structure. Flowering under 65days will give off bittersweet, fresh lemons & berries while going more than 65days will bring out more sour-zesty, funky citrus, berries & pineapple terp profiles. Mother = Red Onion(GMO x Red Velvet) bred by Lit Farms. Father = Pure Michigan F3
