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 Taniwha Zkittles

Taniwha Zkittles is an indica dominant hybrid variety created by TopBoy in 2020 and can be cultivated indoors (where plants will need 56-63 days flowering time) and outdoors. Taniwha Zkittles was made in West Auckland, New Zealand by Top and is/was only available as regular seeds. Taniwha Zkittles is an F1 polyhybrid, producing mostly indica leaning phenotypes. Made by crossing Mandarin Zkittles (male) by Ethos Genetics to a true breeding pure indica heirloom afghani plant (pink hair). Taniwha Zkittles produces extremely large resinous flowers with a loud sweet citrus terp profile that was passed on from its Mandarin Zkittles lineage. Taniwha Zkittles is known for its hard-hitting, calming, and relaxing effects. She has an amazing terp profile that can even be tasted on the exhale. Upon smoking the terps are mandarin citrus, burnt rubber, and chronic. Taniwha Zkittles will leave you feeling happy, calm, and relaxed.
