Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 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 The Balance of the Tao

The Balance of the Tao by Peekaboo Point is a mindful meeting of opposites — a union of Chocolate Malasada #10 (808 Genetics) and an open pollination of 2 Deep Chunk F14 males (TerpFi3nd). This cross channels the grounded depth of old-school Afghan hashplant lineage with the modern refinement of dessert genetics, resulting in a strain that embodies both indulgence and restraint. The result is rich, dark, and contemplative — a strain crafted for balance in every sense. On the nose and palate, The Balance of the Tao delivers layers of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, coffee, and woody hash, with hints of spice and incense lingering through a dense, full-bodied finish. The smoke is smooth and heavy, yet never overwhelming — a perfect expression of its name. Its effects are relaxing and meditative but remain clear-headed, offering focus, creativity, and calm throughout the day without fatigue or couch-lock. Growers will find medium-to-large yields of trichome-rich, dark green buds with subtle purple hues, ready for harvest in 8–9 weeks. Designed for the connoisseur and the hash enthusiast alike, The Balance of the Tao represents harmony between potency and peace — a cultivar that rewards
