Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Indica 30%Sativa 70%
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 Tropical Red
Tropical Red brings together two top notch heirlooms from Central America. This is one of the best representatives of the best Central American landraces. Very old school sativas at their best. This tropical variety is mostly sativa and extremely vigorous. It is very branchy and will grow monster size plants given the right conditions. Stems grow thick and strong holding up large fluffy buds on elongated colas. Resistant to drought, it prefers hot arid conditions and does well in a desert type setting. It is also highly resistant to fungi and thrives in the northwest. The aroma is like sweet lime with some being more herbal and skunky with hints of chocolate. The smoke is smooth and refreshing, making you want more and more
