Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Sativa 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 Guatemala

Seeds collected from an indigenous village in the heart of the Guatemalan jungle. This is the Central American landrace from which we have developed our Tikal hybrid. The Guatemala is a pure, stable and vigorous sativa with a good potential for adaptation to moderate latitudes. It is related to some old Mexican varieties sharing with them some characteristics: strongly branched plants, happy effect, good yield, moderate flowering time and a low hermaphroditism rate. Resistance against SPIDER MITES: medium Resistance against MILDEW: medium Resistance against BOTRYTIS: high Resistance against COLD: medium GENETICS: 100 % Guatemalan sativa. LANDRACE STRAIN FLOWERING: 11-13 weeks. November. STRUCTURE: Sativa with a strong, balanced branchy structure. Outdoors, it produces plants with a Christmas tree appearance and strong secondary branches. YIELD / M2: Medium BOUQUET: Sweet, sour and floral aroma with woody hints. HIGH: Happy and positive effect of medium strength. GROWING TIPS: It can be grown indoors without problems, but we recommend intense light intensity in order to obtain the best results. Outdoors it can be grown at latitudes up to 43ºN in a warm coastal autumn climate. In mou
