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 Sambuca

Sambuca S1 represents one of the most refined and distinctive projects in the recent Duppy Sensi archive. This selection originates from a Gelato #33 maternal line paired with a Mimosa paternal line — both chosen from particularly expressive and high-quality phenotypes preserved within our collection. The resulting S1 lineage presents a compact and well-balanced structural architecture, with moderate foliation and a harmonious internodal pattern. Its morphology reflects the stability and precision expected from a cross between two strong, modern genetic families. One of the most remarkable aspects of Sambuca S1 is its aromatic identity. Although full laboratory terpene data is not yet available, the sensory profile is unmistakable and highly characteristic. The dominant note is a clear and intense anise-like aroma, followed by bright lemon impressions and subtle herbal nuances reminiscent of melissa. A delicate Sherbet-style undertone completes the profile, adding depth and a distinctive signature to the lineage. Sambuca S1 stands out as an original and memorable expression within contemporary genetic catalogues, offering collectors and researchers a uniquely identifiable aromatic
