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 Southafrican Kwazulu

South African Kwazulu A 100% Sativa strain that grows wild to the north of the Drakensberg ridge, she flowers early, has a sweet taste and a physical and energising effect. Grown by generations of Shaka Zulus, who were one of Africa’s most significant farmer warrior tribes, legend has it that this plant was used in the battle preparations prior to the first British attack in 1879 and that her long-lasting and galvanising properties enabled the outnumbered and outgunned Zulu army to repel the enemy invaders. One of the most resistant strains to pests and mildew, her genetics allow her to be grown indoors and outside even at European latitudes. Sex: Regular Lineage: South Africa Genotype: 100% Sativa, can grow very tall given enough space Grow Method: indoor/outdoor Harvest Time (indoors): between 55 and 65 days Harvest Time (outdoors): mid October Yield: 350g indoor / 450-500g outdoor Taste: Sweet floral Aroma: Slightly spicy Effect: Energising, very long-lasting THC: 15-20% Resistance to Mould: Medium Resistance to Pests: Medium Medicinal Value: Medium
