Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Sativa 100%

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.

We have seen them grown in lands with very limited nutrients in the soil, compact substrates and few nutrients where they have come out ahead with good production and are healthy plants. These Sativa are stylized with thin and large leaves with a nice conic structure, medium-sized internodal spaces, medium-high production with airy flowers and thin serrated leaves. It is a sativa with thin, compact and resinous flowers that smell like green banana passion fruit, lemon cane and passion fruit. It has a fruity and fragrant flavor that lasts a few seconds on your palate and some woody flavors will make you feel how old and special this Sativa genetic line from Myanmar is.
