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 Doc Smokey's Mellow Yellow

Banana SFV (Hi-Elevation Genetics) x Banana SFV (Hi-Elevation Genetics) A backcross (BX1) of Banana SFV from Hi-Elevation Genetics involves crossing an offspring back to one of its original parents to stabilize specific traits. In this scenario, mating a selected male and female from the same Banana SFV line serves as an inbreeding/stabilization project, cementing the line's sought-after tropical-gas traits. Genetic Lineage & Profile This project is an Indica-dominant hybrid refinement. The goal of this backcross is to lock down the exact structural and aromatic properties of the original parental line: The Foundation: Banana SFV is a cross of the legendary, fuel-choked San Fernando Valley OG (SFV OG) and a sweet, tropical Banana cultivar. The Backcross Goal: Inbreeding these specific genetics eliminates phenotypic variation. It ensures that future seeds reliably express the loud, gassy banana traits rather than throwing wild, unpredictable phenotypes. Aroma and Flavor Profile This cross creates a highly concentrated, loud terpene profile that represents the absolute peak of the "rotten fruit and chemical waste" aesthetic. The dominant aroma is a heavy, inescapable blast of artific
