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.

Flower-time Outdoor: Late October in Northern hemisphere. Yield Indoor: Generally below average, although some report a heavy phentotype Yield Outdoor: Low to medium. Humidity Level: Prefers semi-dry conditions, sativa structure helps with mold resistence. The 1994 Spice of Life release Sweet Skunk netted two very sativa specimens that were almost hazy, but with a funky sweetness. Now, over ten years later, one of those selections is still grown widely. This popular Sweet Skunk clone was dusted with Blueberry pollen provided by DJ Short as a part of the ongoing Joint Project work
