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 Elderberry Kush

A nearly full indica cannabis strain that is Raspberry Kush, WOW cut x Raspberry Kush. The WOW cut of Raspberry Kush was extremely popular in the California San Joaquin Valley around 2010, and we used her in this project. Elderberry Kush’s claim to fame—aside from her fruity-sweet kushiness—is a true six-week flowering time for most phenotypes when grown properly. Unfortunately, some of the early flowering phenos have a tendency to form big male balls the size of small peas and she needs to be monitored closely. Indica dominant. 40-56 days
