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 Highland Thai

Region: Southeast Asia Genetics: Pure Thai/Burmese Highland Ganja Cultivar Latitude: 19°N Harvest: late December to early February Height: up to 3m Yield: 1 - 2kg of dried flowers in natural outdoor environment Characteristics: musky citrus flavour and trippy, heart-racing high; some purple phenotypes Grow Type: Greenhouse or Outdoors This is a rare Highland Thai ganja line from the highlands of Northern Thailand, nearby Burma, and an ancient cannabis genepool in serious need of preservation. Plants are medium-tall, with asymmetric branching and quite dense buds for a Southeast Asian ganja line. Aromas are a distinctively musky lemon citrus, and colours range from light green to more purple-blue colourations. Around 50% of plants will turn purple with cold temperatures. The high is very trippy and heart-racing, and can be too much for inexperienced smokers. Plants with carrot-mango aromas and a more mellow thought-provoking effect can be found. Highly recommended for breeders and collectors. Owning this line entails a serious responsibilty, where possible, to reproduce seeds and maintain clones
