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.

An early to start version of the Kalamata Red that was made by crossing 3 carefully selected Auto Sativa mothers with 2 excellent pure Kalamata Red fathers. The resultant version should start up to a month earlier than the pure Kalamata Red and so will be of interest to all growers who don’t have the joy of long, warm late summers. Growers in Northern Europe or high latitude growers who wish to try the Kalamata Red can at least grow and smoke this 50% Kalamata variety and appreciate its effects. That is not to take anything away from the Auto sativa mothers. 3 very different females selected from
