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 GHaze

This hybrid is 75% G13 clone. The first such offering ever yet retains its Ghaze denomination because pollen was sourced from two special recombinant Ghaze inbred lines, rather than using a plain F1 male. This detour from standard backcrossing techniques allowed for more precise trait selection to be conveyed back to the G13 clone, thus raising the ante in power, resin, yield and taste. In blind tests with experienced smokers, Ghaze Bx1 was chosen over plain G13 for raw power, high complexity, duration and intriguing acrid, greasy lemony taste. Ghaze Bx1 buds are abundant and quite dense considering the sativa leanings of the G13 phenotype, with a uniform cover of milky trichomes and brick red pistils. Its characteristic smell is pungently acrid like industrial oil or paint, although gently squeezing the bud will reveal lemony and rotten grape notes. Smooth smoke, with a hashy taste one tester described as "citrus-flavored motor grease wrapped in cellophane". The mother of this cross has less Indica traits than other alleged G-13 clones (slender leaves in a taller plant, less odoriferous and longer flowering), and judging from the instability revealed when inbreeding its offspring,
