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.

About The Halcyon
The Halcyon is an F1 hybrid based on an Afghan Kush female and a Colombian male. I first made this seed in late 2012. It was trialed in 2013 and is now being released. The cross produces a vigorous, uniform F1 generation that is highly resinous and beautifully fragrant. The flowers are very potent and produce a strong effect with an unusually clear head. The fragrance is a blend of both lines, the sweet, syrupy ‘candy’ notes of the Kush combining with the more tart and piney fragrance of the Colombian. Based on fragrance alone the cross is unique and enjoyable. Add to that the wonderfully potent character and you’ve got a winner. As I wrote earlier I will package exactly 100 tins of this seed, 14 seeds per tin, and offer them for sale. 100% of the proceeds will go to support the Cannabis Genomic Research Initiative to support our research goals. The work being undertaken is groundbreaking in our industry. The knowledge and the know-how that will result from this project will spawn a wave of innovation in the Cannabis industry unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed.
