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 Forbidden Melon

Genetics: Forbidden Fruit x Magic Melon Type: Hybrid Seed Type: Feminized Flowering: 8-9 weeks Yield: Good With Forbidden Melon, we were able to obtain the breeder’s cut of Forbidden Fruit that was the loudest purple strain we have ever encountered. Magic Melon is the result of a pheno hunt of 10,000 plants by Humboldt Seeds, which resulted in a high yielding cross with loud melon terpenes. While Forbidden Melon combines the LOUD sweet, rotten fruit terps with the loud cantaloupe and honeydew terpenes of Magic Melon. Phenos will produce varying amounts of purple colors
