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.

Grow type: outdoors, greenhouse, indoor Some local people from the north in Koster kept this line for decades in an intact and perfect way protecting as much diversity as possible, nowadays growing cannabis in S.Africa is very difficult, commercial hybrid lines are usually susceptible to humidity. The Koster is a perfect variety because it is resistant to pests and humidity. Fast, short-flowering sativa, aromas of orange, wood, mint and anise. Medium-high stature with good growth, vigour, resin production and high resistance to climates with high humidity. Vegetative stage from 12 weeks to 15 weeks for the longest phenotypes. Abundant foliage with conical structures, we have found 4 different phenotypes, one of them forms a main apical tower that stands out, medium internodal spaces that become very short
