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 Grand Cognac

Parents: Orange Cognac (female) x Grand Daddy Purple F3 (male) Flowering Time: 8.5-10 weeks indoors, mid to end of October outdoors in northern hemisphere Hybridization Ratio: Mix of sativa-dominant and indica-dominant phenotypes Effect: Mentally activating, calming, social Smell/Taste: Sweet, citrus, zest, bitters, skunk, hops, grapes Yield: Above average to high Environment: Indoor/outdoor/greenhouse Orange Cognac (female) This cut was gifted to us without a name or genetic history. The best we could do was grow it out and compare its characteristics to other plants we have seen and experienced. She has a very sweet citrus skunk smell with a zesty/bitter edge to it, almost like hops and a bit of alcohol, the smell of the dried flowers is reminiscent of a nice cognac (I trimmed quite a bit before it hit me). The terpene profile doesn’t fully mature until around the 8th week, it smells mostly soft and skunk-y before then. If you can let it go a full 67-70 days for that extra flavor maturity I’d recommend it. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere try to leave it going until the end of October. Combined with a good flush and cure, she is an excellent all-day sativa-leaning headstash, a
