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 Tiger Tail #1 - Mae Chan

Squirrel Tail is rendered as “หางเสือ” in Thai and “ຫາງເສືອ” in Laotian and is one of the most well known Thai Landraces. Lao speakers in Isan and Laos use the term “Tiger Tail” to describe specific plant morphologies contrasted with those associated with other animals, namely Squirrel Tail, Snake Teeth and Erawan. Tiger Tail then would refer to plants with ‘creeper’ style structures that show a large “rudder” like single cola - eg: thick buds on a long tall cola and very long, droopy lateral branching low on the plant. Over time plants showing these characteristics will have been selected for with various degrees of intensity from the diverse region specific genepools which bear those names. In this context Tiger Tail might be best understood as several landrace populations, heirlooms and IBLs and also an archetype/phenotype within the larger Cannabis genepool of Thailand/Laos, specifically Isan/Laos. Complicating things, autochtonous NLD type landrace cannabis, allochtonous NLD types originally from the Lao/Isan genepool, G
