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 Empire Kush
Empire Kush has been many years in the making, Vader started with his development of Vader Kush in 2006 crossing several medical kush cuts including Master/Hindu/Bubba. In 2009 we began the Secret Garden Kush project designed to step away from the “OG” traits that were becoming extremely popular to focus on traditional Kush flavors and Aromas. 2012 we start the first Vader/SGK crosses and have developed an F4 lineage mix promptly named Empire Kush! This strain shows strong structure and Dense pungent phenos are generally sought after.
This strain made its debut at the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup in southern California. Flowering Time: 62 – 70 days (~66 days)
STRETCH: ~50 Percent
