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 Indigo Child

Indigo Child is a very special phenotype of Star Pupil S1 from my fem seeds. It was sprouted and discovered by my friend in Hawaii (@alohaislandgenetics) who was hunting a bunch of Star Pupil fem seeds I gave him. He contacted me saying that while there were many good phenos, one of them has a super special effect even better than the rest, and people didn't want anything else! It has the most psychedelic, healing, euphoric, and childlike effect ever; the healing positive mindset from a true Indigo Child experience is felt long after the effects of smoking wear off. This stuff totally changed my life, and I have heard some unbelievably positive feedback from others who have found her as well. There are reports of other growers finding this rare phenotype in the Star Pupil fem seeds too. Another thing to make it worth the hunt: while most Star Pupil are finished in 9 weeks of flowering, the Indigo Child phenotype is faster, complete in 7 and a half weeks! If you take them longer, the quality degrades, so make sure you’re ready for a fast harvest! Look for pink (instead of deep purple) flowers, on a slower vegging plant which stretches bigger to make up for it, initiates bloom slower
