Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

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 Malawi Faced

The Malawi x (95’ NL5xHaze) was the first breeding project I was involved in. The result was an extremely hazy metallic potent sea salt sized trichome encrusted Sativa stunner. If you ever liked the Colorado Cough, this is a MAJOR upgrade over the cough. Sativa lovers rejoice on this seldom seen original hybrid. Today’s markets just don’t have the demand or economy for beautiful Sativas that it once did a decade ago. I preserve and make these varieties, really, for the Home Grower, as most commercial operations won’t touch anything that flowers for more than 9 weeks. Sad, but true. Those that do, will be rewarded with some absolutely electric old school sativa that will put your inexperienced “I only smoke OG” friends in absolute whirlwind daze. They won’t know what hit them, but you’ll all be laughing at how “high” they can actually get on a real heritage African sativa.
