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 Santiam Skunk
Genetics: High Life (OGS) x Early Wonder Skunk Indica/Sativa: 50/50 Indoor/Outdoor Flowering: 50-60 days Outdoor: on or before end Sept. Height: med-medium tall Yield: above average, 500-750 grams Santiam Skunk's mother, the High Life, is a sativa/indica hybrid that produces strong, robust plants with a sativa-leaning effect. Only problem is High Life doesn't quite finish by the end of September outdoors up here in northern Oregon. So in 2013, I decided to dig out a very old, nearly extinct northern outdoor variety from the seed vault — an early Skunk variety — and used it to dust the High Life with pollen.
Goal was to shorten the flowering period without stepping all over the qualities of the mother.
Mission accomplished.
Santiam Skunk's growth structure leans towards the High Life (larger, branchier, heavier yield) but with at least 7-10 days shaved off the flowering period (finishing on or before end Sept) thanks to the Early Wonder Skunk. Potency with some specimens is stronger than either parent, and all plants exhibit added flavor.
Winner, Winner. Chicken Dinner
