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.

About Oaxacan Gold

Cryptic lab’s Oaxacan Gold is a pure landrace cultivar originally from the Oaxaca region in Mexico. Oaxacan gold is somewhat of a long flowering pure sativa, it should mature in roughly 13 to 16 weeks but some phenotypes of this cultivar may want more time around 20 weeks flower. If you are a true pure sativa lover these long flowering plants are what you’re after, with their powerful psychedelic highs that go on for hours. Oaxacan gold has a great structure with a good amount of side branching that will fill out to a nice harvest, but it can become very tall for indoor growth, so proper measures are needed like pinching the terminal bud to keep this cultivar under control and promote more side growth. This line shouldn’t give you too much trouble like some wild Mexican cultivars. It has been selected and bred to itself many times to improve upon flowering times, structure, high and any other undesirable traits that would prevent you from getting many keepers in each pack. Oaxacan gold has a great sativa aroma from years gone by with its spicy citrus incense smell. Some may have more of a fruity smell like berries but either way you’re sure to find something special for your collec
