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 Praying Mantis

Mr. E is a very special, ten year old standout clone from Eastcoasterdam. Gifted to us to bring out to the world in seed form, and we fell in love. Introducing the Prayer Tower Sativa male #9 we were able to increase vigor while allowing the special Mr. E flower traits to fully express. Most phenotypes smell and flower just like Mr. E and some have a bit more creaminess added to them from the Prayer Tower. Mr. E on her own is an incredible, happy vibe functional indica, and effective medicine for many ailments. She's an extremely short, squat dense plant with extreme amount of dense node growth. The goal of this cross was to preserve as many of her special traits as possible, while speeding up her growth rates. The fantastic branchy structure passes on but with longer spacing so she can keep up with other quick vegging plants. Very high yield, fantastic resin, and a nearly indescribable flavor. Sweet, delicious. Flavor: Melon/Cantaloupe Gas, Sweet Fruity
