Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 Freakshow

Freakshow is a unique mutation that was the result of long-time breeder Shapeshifter doing extensive methodical selection, line breeding, and culling. Average 18-20% THCa, THC; negligible CBD, CBN with terpenes variable, averaging 2.5-3.5, primarily limonene and pinene, but this is variable, there was a lot of diversity in terpene combinations and compositions in all the prior generations. The different parallel lines that we are developing can be directed in a few different pathways flavor-wise. Freakshow is the perfect cultivar for anyone looking for something new and unique to play with whether you’re a first time grower or a long time connoisseur! Join the Freakshow today!
