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 Early Pearl Improved

Originally a hybrid between an early Indica and a sweet Sativa. Early Pearl has always been one of our most popular outdoor varieties. Early Pearl Improved has been inbred for three generations, selected for earliness, and then outcrossed to regain hybrid vigor. It should recapture the sweetness and potency of the original, while being even earlier. Outdoor height: 6-9 ft. Outdoor yield: 0.5 - 1.5 lbs. Outdoor finishing date: August 30 at 40 degrees N. latitude. (Early Pearl Improved is out of stock until after April I5, 1988. Please call or write for availability)
