Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Sativa 100%

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.

Most historians believe that cannabis was introduced into Nigeria at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Despite its late introduction, cannabis has since been cultivated on a large scale in most parts of the country. Growth Pattern This Nigerian cultivar can display some broad leaves at the beginning of the vegetative phase. As the plants grow taller and start flowering, the leaflets become narrower and narrower.
