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 Papayaberry Runtz

Coming out of LA, this strain's candy-like smelling sweetness and colorful nugs lead to its naming. A mix of Zkittlez and Gelato #33, this strain has a smooth flavor that mostly matches the smell, with additional tropical and earthy hints. With a few different phenotypes, this hybrid strain can lean to either a more dominant sativa or indica. These nugs produce thick resin layers, making it extremely potent in any form. Perhaps that is why this strain is so elusive. Runtz has won the following awards: 2019 1st Place, Flower, Sungrown, Emerald Cannabis Cup, US 2020 1st Place, Best International Flower, Jack Herer Cup, Netherlands 2021 3rd Place, Best Indica Flower, High Times Medical Cup SoCal, US 2021 1st Place, Recreational Hybrid Flower, High Times Medical Cup Michigan, US 2021 1st Place, Medical Flower, High Times Medical Cup Michigan, US 2021 2nd Place, Best Indica Flower, High Times Medical Cup Norcal, US 2021 2nd Place, Best Indica Flower, High Times Medical Cup Massachusetts, US
