Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 100%

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 Golden Triangle Akha

Region: Southeast Asia Genetics: Pure Southeast Asian Ganja Cultivar Latitude: 21°N Harvest Date: November-December Height: up to 2 metres Characteristics: Very large seeds with thick shells; dense trichomes and intense aroma; very high probability of good CBD content Grow Type: Greenhouse or Outdoors This is an unusual and aromatic "kansha" (ganja) variety from the Golden Triangle region of Lao. Cultivated by the Akha people who originate in the Yunnan region of South China, this line is part of what has been described as the "Yunnanese Indica" genepool. Cannabis researchers have recently suggested that all cannabis drug cultivars (both "sativa" and "indica") could have originated from this landrace region in Yunnan. These are vigorous plants with surprisingly dense buds, abundant trichomes and intense aromas of spearmint, catnip and citrus. Golden Triangle Akha is a drug cultivar which smokes very smoothly and produces a very mild, moderate stone. Flowering tips are also used in medicine and traditional cuisine. Strains originating in the Yunnan region are often found to have high CBD content, making this line worthy of further investigation by serious medical breeders. Where and
