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 Polar Bear

Most of the plants grew and looked like Purple Punch but the Kush Cleaner male added some much needed “punch” to the Purple Punch. Insane trichome production, most of the genotypes are white and look like they glow from all the trichomes. Sweet grape to lemon pine kush are some of the flavors I found in the test runs. Did well in all environments. Indoor 8-10 Weeks Outdoor Early-Mid Oct
