Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Indica 50%Sativa 50%
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 Mendocino Cherries
Genetics: Smarties (Mendo Cut) × Mendocino Cherry Pie (Hopland Cut) Type: Feminized Photoperiod Classification: Hybrid Seeds per Pack: 6 Generation: F3 Phenotypic Variation: Low Flowering Time: 65–75 days (indoor) Outdoor Harvest Window: Mid October Support Requirements: Above Average — trellising recommended Plant Height: Tall Yield Potential: High
Aroma Profile: Heavy gas layered with artificial cherry candy sweetness.
Notes: Mendocino Cherries brings together two Mendocino-derived cherry-forward lines, stacking Smarties (Mendo Cut) with Mendocino Cherry Pie (Hopland Cut) to intensify and refine the cherry terpene expression across the population.
This F3 generation reflects ongoing selection work aimed at locking in the most extreme cherry-forward phenotypes while maintaining strong structure and production. Roughly half of the plants lean heavily into bold cherry candy aromatics, while the remainder express a deeper gas profile with subtle cherry undertones.
All phenotypes display strong bag appeal, with dense frost coverage and frequent purple coloration emerging throughout the lineup. The result is a visually striking, terpene-rich hybrid that combines loud dessert sweetness
