Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 Southern Ice

Southern Ice is our locally bred pure swazi crossed into a white widow female. Thereby creating a vigorous fast growing african warrior. 70% sativa, Southern Ice afropips seeds' origin goes to Southern Africa. They are absolutely adapted to the unstable European climate and became one of the popular commercial breednig strains in South Africa. This strain is very easy to grow and can have a christmas tree look. They have thin leaves and don't seem to produce a lot of resin, until fully ripened. The buds are less tappered than a regular swazi, but with the infusion of widow makes this one strain the master of sativa's. No particular difficulties have been observed during this marijuana growing. Southern Ice is resistant to mould and insects. It needs just a usual caution against mite spiders when grown indoors. The flowering period is quite short for a sativa. Planted in April, it is completely ready in the last week of September
