Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 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 Kashmir

Pulwama and Budgam are located quite close to each other and share similar terroir and climate. Just 50 kms from the capital Srinagar Pulwama is quite the opposite of an urban center, it’s covered in Chinar trees, walnut trees and and several other beautiful plants that put on a show during the fall with fading colors on the leaf including cannabis. The cannabis plants here grow short like broad leaf varieties from higher latitudes but with narrow leaflets. The finishing time is quite early as it finishes around 2nd week of October outside with no more than 10-11 weeks. The flavors are quite unique and mostly make one reminiscent of candy like flavours, one of the most common smells being of artificial grapes with very sweet base, that oozes out from tiny resin coated flowers. Pulwama has a peculiar climate which resembles closely of dry high latitude places like hindu kush mountains only with a slightly higher humidity because of the partial monsoon rains in late summer. Winters are extremely cold with a good amount of snowfall that begins from late november and snow melts away during april beginning,gradually receding into the high glaciers. Seedlings come out during april and ma
