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 ESP

ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) is a poly-hybrid landrace-inspired cultivar created by crossing a Double Dalai F3 male with a P1 female from the Maruf Kandahar TAP22 project (southern Afghanistan). This unique combination brings together Afghani desert genetics and exotic highland influences, resulting in a highly expressive plant with rare structure, aroma, and effects. ESP consistently expresses two clearly differentiated F1 phenotypes, both sharing the same terpene character and psychoactive profile but diverging strongly in plant architecture. Phenotypic ExpressionsType 1 – Tall (F1) A tall, robust, apically dominant plant with wider internodal spacing and solid, conical buds. Its structure resembles highland hash plant populations, featuring elongated stems and a classic Christmas-tree growth pattern, ideal for vertical stacking and tighter plant spacing. Type 2 – Short (F1) A short, squat Afghani-style plant with very tight internodes and a stubby, bushy structure. This phenotype closely mirrors traditional Kandahar desert landraces, favoring lateral branching rather than vertical stretch. Despite their contrasting morphology, both phenotypes share the same aromatic evolution,
