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 Giant Crusader

Strain Description: Giant Crusader is a Crusader Kush backcrossed to Giant Pur Pur, increasing the Single Leaflet occurrence. The selected Crusader Kush has shown some subtle variegations, great hybrid vigour, serrated Lanceolate (single Leaflet) leaves, typical for Giant Pur Pur and Hazey Terpenes. The Giant Pur Pur F5 was selected out of a population with Haze Terpenes, large-sized single leaflet plants and extreme vigour. Crusader Kush is a cross of Giant Pur Pur (GPP), which is a vigorous and large growing single leaflet strain with serrated leaf edges with AD 17, which stays a bit smaller also with smaller non-serrated single leaflet leaves. Giant Pur Pur is the result of Crossing a Single Leaflet (Lanceolate) Landrace Strain originating from the Russian Chinese border region “Amur” with our Indian Summer Duckfoot Strain (Blueberry F1 x 80´s Purple Passion x Mexican Sativa Landrace). Selected for the Single Leaflet trait over many generations, whilst maintaining old-school flavours. AD17 is a single leaflet strain, that comes from the SWAG-Strain gene pool, carrying Berry, Fruity, Fuel and Haze aroma types. Morphology & Growth: Giant Pur Pur with hybrid vigour and a range of L
