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 Testarossa

HERITAGE The Testarossa is the latest evolution of the infamous family-only Rosé Especial lineage backcrossed to the award-winning Zkittlez elite clone. The male used was from our Zkittlez x Magnum Opus stock and was selected out of 1000 starts in the Spring of 2017 in Mencocino County. The magnum opus was initially chosen as the backbone due to its extraordinary resin profile and unmatched hardiness against powdery mildew and botrytis, a malady the often affects Zkittlez elites in challenging greenhouse and outdoor environments. Male selection was geared towards finding a reliable match for our Zkittlez mom exhibiting a similar morphology, identical leaf structures/patterns, internodal spacing, and terp profiles. Bred for indoor and greenhouse growers she is a Zkittlez BX so expect smaller plants with truly exotic terp profiles. Topping is a must to maximize yield. For experimentation and elite selection ONLY!! PALATE She emanates heavy overtones of fresh gasoline, lavender essence, and candied orange peels bound over a vivid core of orchard blossoms, fresh earth, and crushed grapes
