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 Leicester

'Red Leicester' by Unicornboysgenetics is an openpollination cross, Using the 'Sherbet Smoothie' male, bred by Savant seeds. Here it open pollinated The Bakery Genetics 'Space cheese' that turned completely black at the end of her flowering stage. The aroma from this girl was offensive. Absolutely unmistakably cheese, but you can hint the purple haze in there too for sure. Battled through terenteral rain, storms and on the end bad frosts. Sheer outdoor warrior. Harvested almost in December waiting for seeds. Not a spec of botrytis. SPACECHEESE: ((ukexoduscheese x (bluecheese x sweetcheese)) X (ukexoduscheese x neytri) X SHERBET SMOOTHIE: (Sunset sherbet x faygo red pop) Reckon we are looking at late October harvests for these. Maybe one for us southern UK Guerillas
