Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Sativa 100%

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 THCV

THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) is a cannabinoid that has seen a huge rise in popularity over recent years. Although it does contain THC, "THCV" by Kannabia acts to minimise the psychotropic effects caused by its high-flying cousin. THCV interacts with the endocannabinoid system to provide soothing effects and support during moments of tension, among other potential benefits. While this type of cannabinoid was once a scarce find, it can now be cultivated from the comfort of your home with "THCV". Whether you're new to the cannabis cultivation game or consider yourself a seasoned veteran, one thing is for sure; this easy-to-grow strain will flourish under the right conditions. Because of her robust genetics, she's an easy plant to care for over her short flowering stage of 60–65 days. However, just make sure you provide enough room, as she can easily reach dizzying heights of 2m and above. If size is likely to cause an issue, "THCV" responds to LST, topping, and other methods to control her size, so don't be afraid to experiment a little. Plants grown outside will also benefit from her resistance to pests, giving you complete peace of mind. Once you've collected, dried, and cured her
