Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 Novarine THCV

Besides the THC and Cannabidiol content, the best known cannabinoids in marijuana plants, Novarine includes many other active ingredients. These are elements which, due to their properties, are of great interest to consumers of therapeutic varieties. Among these other elements and cannabinoids is THCV, a cannabinoid well-known for its stimulating effect and the satiety feeling it offers. Elite Seeds has conducted extensive breeding work in order to isolate and reproduce the most THCV-rich plants. An intense work in its genetic collection that has succeeded in fixing this sought-after trait, maintaining a high THCV concentration in all individuals. Novarine is the cross between a Thai landrace line known for its richness in THCV, and its Caprichosa Thai variety. The result is a plant that maintains the line's Sativa character but it is more compact and quicker than the original line. It is a hybrid plant with an 80/20 Sativa Indica genetics. It is vigorous and ramified, a Sativa trait that makes it easily adaptable to cultivation in SCROG or supercropping. It can reach a large size in outdoor cultivation, where it is ready to harvest in late October after 10 weeks of flowering. Nova
