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 Purple Fondue

A match made in heaven was created by pairing the Elite Uk Cheese "Exodus cut" with a Vintage Purple Hindu Kush collected at the source in the 80s by an old hippy I worked with let's call him "chef". Unfortunately, I was never given access to the full line in seed form but he was kind enough to gift me some pollen to play with. Upon seeing the line grown out at Chefs spot I did notice the Hindu line was expressing 2 distinct phenotypes, The more common one being a dark purple BLD hashplant with citronella tones, camphor, and rubber funk. the other is only slightly lighter with some green tones and expressing more of a cherry sweet perfume tone mixed with the citronella funk. The marriage of the two lines which is essentially (Skunk #1 x 80s Purple Hindu Kush) creating a lovely progeny with frost-covered magenta buds that have cheesy terps ranging from Parm & Kush to the rare Cherry Cheese Danish pheno.
