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 Santa Muerte

The Holy Death is the result of a Mexican Sativa selected to be very powerful which gives it a strong smell of incense. 100% of this Sativa passes directly to indoor flowering crops as it matures and ripens. Very vigorous plant with lots of internodal distance, but produces large buds with a strong smell of haze. Very cerebral effect and is a variety for using at any time of day because it produces a very pleasant sensation. Outdoor plants grow large and are very stable. Flowering time: 70-75 days Harvest Outdoors: until 15th October Genotyp: Mexicana x Original Haze Crop: between 500 and 600 g/m²
