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 Head Candy

We took our cross of Headband that was Loompa’s Headband BX hit to the Purple Erkel X Headband cut we had. We found a good male from that, and hit it to an outstanding Underdog X Candy Kush female. Both the mother and father plant are tall so if you veg her long you need head room. She does stretch in flower though. Except her to finish in 8 to10 weeks. I have found that the longer flower time with her really packs on the weight and trichomes
