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 Smart Alex

This was the best phenotype we pulled from the Clockwork Orange S1's. It has a notably better smell than the original Clockwork Orange, almost as potent, and doesn't display the leaf mutation that the original Clockwork Orange displayed. This was one of the most important trait we were looking for, as most people didn't like the leaf mutation part of Clockwork Orange because "it looked funny." The two have the same growth patterns where they will do great as a single cola and will do great topped. It's VERY easy to grow with a distinctive coffee scent. It's got huge massive indica leaves, however the high tends to be more of a sativa high, a truly unique plant and just another reason why Clockwork Orange belongs in its own class. Flowering Time: 9-10 Weeks NOTE: you HAVE to scuff these seeds and sometimes crack them after a few days yourself in order to get them to go. They are an anomaly with how large they are and it's almost impossible to get them to germinate without helping them crack. It seems like all of the clockwork orange seeds and hybrids: Smart Alex, Clockwork BX, Clockwork Orange all display this trait. They're well worth it if you can get them out of that hard ass mar
