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.

About Sheelawathi

Sheelawathi is a regional heirloom Sativa which was selected from Kerala gold population for slightly shorter flowering term and improved yeilds and flavours. It spread outwards to east and further up north India and is a well known strain. The moment you come near the plant you can definately smell wild flowers mixed with spices, but the taste is more inclined towards pine and hashish with undertones of flowers that will leave your senses on a different plain. It flowers slightly shorter than Kerala gold and finishes under 16 weeks. (12-15 weeks)
