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 Kalimpong

Kalimpong features a Subtropical highland climate or Monsoon-influenced temperate oceanic climate. While it sees a heavenly rainfall during the warm months with temperature not exceeding 30°C, the coldest months are relatively drier and colder without snowfall. The plants in farmed population were exceptionally large and exhibited an incredible structure which can support massive yields with no worry of winds knocking down the crop, except for an occasional branch here and there Buds doesn't have a promising leaf/bract ratio, but with its pungent floral/lemongrass smell it more than makes up for it. It induces a very uplifting euphoric high and without the heaviness in body/chest, which seemed ideal for getting immersed in an activity of art or music. The flowering takes place from mid august till December almost around 16+ weeks, not much colours except for a few plants in wild/undomesticated population. Our team made a few selections, including one from the massive green plants from farmed population
