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 Idukki

Kerala is 100% sativa collected from the southern part of the Idukki district an area where this plant has been cultivated for years. This area busts with life and vegetation, it is situated at an elevation f 1000 metres. Rugged mountains and forests cover almost the whole of the Idukki district. The area is a heaven of natural spices such as black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, nutmace, ginger, clove etc. Quite possibly this explains the spicy, peppery aroma coming off from the Kerala herb. Being close to the equator, plants can be grown any time of the year. These plants withstand three months of heavy monsoon rainy season. Cultivation happens in many places but people are wary. Kerala shows a nice vigour from its first stages of growth: germination, seedling, and throughout its vegetative stage. Most plants show colours that vary from bright green, red, purple and almost black. Its intermodal spaces are medium, the vegetative stage goes from 12, 13 to 14 weeks, to form colourful and vigorous branches to then enter the flowering phase that takes between 12 to 16 weeks in some cases: Its flowers are thin, airy, some with the structure of wheat spike, its stigmata at the end a
