Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 La Perla Negra

After a bit of confusion we are happy to finally bring you another wonderful Mexican heirloom,La Perla Negra. After tracking down the original source and comparing notes with a number of other Mexican growers we are certain this beautiful lady comes from Oaxaca. For anyone who is new to Mexican varieties, the Oaxaca region is known as one of the best for quality genetics. Either way, what a lady we got here. She grows like a sativa, but has broader leaves and doesn’t stretch a great deal. All 3 phenos stayed pretty squat throughout flowering, which proved very practical under lights. A few days after these pictures were taken she started to colour up with a gorgeous purple fade, before going much darker green / purple across leaves and stems. Every plant goes dark green / purple, including the stems, with the buds that go dark purple / black. Like the Kona Gold IBL this line produces those lovely mini-sativas, perfect for inside or out. She’s super easy to grow. No issues with uneven branching or node spacing. This girl produces gorgeous plants every time. Aromas are real nice too. Pheno #1 (mother to repopulation) was very sweet / floral in both smell and taste, ph#2 & #3 basicall
