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 Mints

For indica fans who relish the couch lock effect, Purple Mints is in the tradition of some of Paradise’s big hit indica strains.

The result of a cross between two specially selected phenos, this plant has an incredible terpene profile, one which is unique, complex and full of flavor surprises. The lineage of Purple Mints is Purple Kush x Skunk #1 x Cookies. From the Kush x Skunk cross a very special phenotype was chosen for its particularly complex terpene profile. This was crossed with a selected Cookies specimen which brings a sweetness to the flavoring as well as its own injection of potency. The Purple Mints terpene profile is sure to impress the knowledgeable grower who will appreciate the unique cocktail of aromas and flavors present in the grow room. Dried buds have the smell of fresh baked banana bread, but crush the bud between the fingers and be prepared, for you will unleash the aroma genie and fill the room with a stinky, but fruity, pungency that hangs heavy in the air.
