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 Red Card

Red Card is an exotic looking terp monster that descends from two of our favorite cherry cultivars, a very special terpinolene laden Cherry West BX3 Male selection bred by the legendary Mean Gene at Freeborn Selections, and an insanely loud Cherry Bang Bang female bred by Mike at Exotic Genetix. The male used in this cross was at first given a "red card" because we were not searching for a male donor. It was cut from a group of females and discarded in a fire pit. Three days later, it was discovered that the male was not only still alive and well in the fire pit, but beginning to angrily spit pollen and terpinolene rich aromas which were too good to pass up. Pollen was collected and later tested on five of our favorite cherry selections. The unanimous house favorites were the babies from our Cherry Bang Bang selection, which produced the most amazing results of all the plants tested. Expect a core flavor profile of sharp cherries, funky terpinolene and acrid gas
