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 NorCal Catpiss

A close friend of ThaDocta, and a prominent member of the now defunct Overgrow.com online forum community, Shabud, grew up smoking this legendary herb in the Bay Area, Northern California. The Norcal Cat Piss make such an impact on his early growing career, that it took him 15 years to finally gain access to one clone, for the exorbitant sum of $2500. But being such a nostalgic piece of Cannabis genetic history, the sum was agreed to and paid in full
