Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 Harlequin CBD 40:1

Harlequin CBD 40:1 feminized seeds represent one of the most precisely bred high-CBD cultivars available, delivering a cannabinoid profile that consistently tests at approximately 20% CBD against less than 0.5% THC. This photoperiod sativa-dominant strain was developed specifically for therapeutic cultivation, producing plants that offer functional, clear-headed relief without psychoactive effect. Each seed in this feminised pack eliminates the guesswork of male identification, making the ratio reliable from seed to harvest. Genetics & Lineage Harlequin draws from four distinct landrace lineages: Colombian Gold, Nepali Indica, Thai landrace, and a Swiss landrace. This genetic combination places the strain at roughly 75% sativa and 25% indica in its overall expression. The Colombian Gold and Thai genetics contribute vigorous upright growth and long internodal spacing, while the Nepali Indica component introduces structural resilience and shortens the flowering window. The Swiss landrace is understood to be the primary contributor to the stabilised CBD dominance in this line. The 40:1 CBD-to-THC ratio represents a carefully selected phenotypic expression bred through multiple generat
