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 Northern Bastard

Line Description: Northern Bastard = Australian Bastard Cannabis ~20% F1 hybrid plants with regular leaves. Most likely crossed with SWAG Blue or AD17 (feminized pollen) Northern Bastard is a cross of German Power Subterfuge and ABC Special. German Power Subterfuge is an "ABC" Subterfuge line, that has been selected for 3 consecutive years in Germany. Subterfuge itself is an ABC line from the US breeder Hyb, who is also responsible for Autobastard 1.0, one of the best Mutant strains ever created, as well as one of the best autoflower strains and incredibly Potent. German Power Subterfuge has been selected for resisting Germanies horrible weather conditions, which are wet, windy, dark and cold. ABC "Special" is an ABC line created by our Breeder Kalyseeds aka. Dr Kaly. The line has been selected for an improved Terpene Profile comparable to AK47, lime, earthy, herbal and pungent. Additionally, more vigorous growth, higher potency and better yields were the secondary breeding objective. The cross of the ABC lines should give an improved ABC line that can withstand less than ideal climate conditions. ABC is as unrecognisable as Cannabis can get.
