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 Mandlebrot's Royal Kush VIII

HERITAGE Among the last iterations of Royal Kush bred by Mandlebrot himself- she is an 8th generation selection from the original Royal Kush 7 release. An elite selection from the 2006 Royal Kush 7 seed stock was made by Mandlebrot and Leo Stone with the goal to select for a new generation that offers a richer expression of the lime green fuel essence found in the Sour Diesel. She is the predecessor of the 9th Generation Long-Valley Royal Kush. She demands a slightly drier environment than the LVRK. Expect medium sized plants that drip in resin. PALATE She emanates heavy overtones of fresh gasoline, lavender essence, and candied orange peels bound over a vivid core of orchard blossoms, fresh earth, and crushed grapes. HARVEST 55-60 days Outdoors | Mid September - Mid October
