Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

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 Kush x ISS

For this cross, I revisited the oldest seed stock I had from the Island Sweet Skunk. As f2's, there wasvariation in the ISS offspring. I decided to go opposite of my usual trait selection (different male than Sky Kush). I selected a slim soft branched stretcher with a thinner leaf ISS to use as the father. The female was the (locally) famous purple kush. It is a big stem indica, vigorous afghani x hindu kush, finish around day 63, but ive taken it to 70 once. Becomes purple very easily and resists dry soil and under feeding as well as over feeding, but likes a drier root zone. ISS and the Purple Kush, it is sure to make it worth growing. Under a single light best suited for scrog / trellising / prunning / bending or with lower light levels with the stretch of certain phenos compared to the others. While testing, I witnessed variations in stature, nug structure and of course aroma. From seriously knuckled nuggets to puffy/hairy round buds, to dense rock hard on tall sticks with almost nothing to trim due to incredible resin coverage. Regardless the pheno, flowering time seems to be consistent at the 54 to 63. Male used was an F2 from next generation. F2 were made from the 2 only ind
