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 Rif Mountain
Genetics: Moroccan Ketama Heirloom （Inbred Landrace）
Purpose: Hashish （sieved resin） or bud
Latitude: 35° N
Outdoors: August to September
Indoors: 7 to 8 weeks
Height: 〈1.5 metres outdoors
Characteristics: Resinous, short, very fast flowering, semi-autoflowering
Classification: C. sativa subsp. indica var. afghanica x C. sativa subsp. indica var. indica
Grow Type: Indoors, outdoors, greenhouse This is a very early maturing and intensely resinous hashish strain from Ketama in the Rif mountains of Morocco. The original Moroccan landrace from which this heirloom has been inbred is believed to have originally been collected in the ’90s. It’s since undergone several generations of intensive modern breeding work, making it well-suited for use as bud. It’s also been adapted for cultivation outdoors at northern latitudes. As with unworked Moroccan landraces, this is a short strain that reaches no more than 2 metres in height and exhibits minimal branching. Its leaflets are medium-width. Due to its semi-autoflowering traits, it’s ready outdoors from late August to early September. Indoors, it’s very fast flowering at around 7 to 8 weeks. A useful breeding tool, and an example of what can be
