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 New Caledonia II

While working on our preservation project for the New Caledonian tropical sativa, we found a very rare (3.5%) and very easy-to-grow balanced sativa/indica hybrid phenotype, more compact and columnar in structure, with a shorter flowering period and excellent adaptation to indoor cultivation. This phenotype displays much more indica traits both in growth and in flowering, so was isolated and reproduced separately. It produces abundant resin with large trichomes both in the bracts and in the sugar leaves around the flower. The rich and penetrating, creamy, sweet aromas of ripe tropical fruit are typical of New Caledonia, but with a much more resinous background and a more hashy flavor. Clean, cerebral, sensory, friendly and well focused initial high, cheerful and playful, with a more hybrid development and 'stoned' sensation than is usually expected with tropical sativas from this island. This would be the most suitable version to grow if you want to enjoy the genetics of these remote islands with a short flowering time, or when you do not have the climate or indoor space to cultivate the tropical sativa version of New Caledonia.
