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 Tirah Valley

This is the selection from the 1.a regional landrace population for Tirah Valley. This plant was around 8-9 ft. tall, with excellent overall vigor, from resin production to a tall sturdy frame. One of the best features on this selection is the size and the shape of its bracts, which are ovate and bulbous, allowing for greater surface area for the resin production. It had an intense spicy aroma upfront with a tinge of sweetness towards the end. The smells as discussed previously are mostly defined by aromas of eastern spices like Clove, devil's dung, cinnamon or often a full-blown sumptuous complex like a mughlai curry. The regional landrace variety (1.a) is used to produce the infamous red hashish which gets dried over and snowed on before it goes for the sieving, a process which imparts the signature red hues to the final produce. The Tirah hashish is famous for its extremely oily and sticky textures, and a heavy couch lock effect which keeps the brain wide awake as the feeling of weightlessness hits the body. The effects are overwhelming and often overpowering for people not used to this kind of strength and complexities in the high, which is a by product of both the genetics and
