Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

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 Stephen Hawking Kush

Stephen Hawking Kush is the second release in Alphakronik Genes' "Great Minds" series, named after famed physicist, Dr. Stephen Hawking. It is also the first offering of what has been called their CBD+ line, a collection of hybrids bred to enchance the Cannabidiol levels of the plant. Starting off with the rare clone only strain, Harlitsu, AG Seeds pollinated it with their tried and true stud, Sin City Kush to create what has come to be known as SHK. There are three specific phenotypes in this hybrid, one that is just like its mother, tall, stretchy, with heavier yields and higher CBD content, the second more of a hybrid between the two that has great colouration from a range of hues during the harvest window which also a 5:1 CBD level, and third the "Fathers' Daughter", which is a smaller, more pinetree shaped purple plant. SHK has a vibrant cherry and berry flavour, with a slight hint of mint on the palette. Extracts increase the mint/menthol flavour, often being described as "Cherry Ludens" with a berry finish. Stephen Hawking Kush has been known to aid in the treatment of muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, ADD, anxiety, muscular sclerosis, auto-immune disorders, nausea, and generali
