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 Urgam Valley

Urgam Valley is a collection of villages, small valleys and Hindu pilgrimage all tucked away, approximately 100 Kms before southern Indian-Tibetan Border in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. A rough B-road skews away just before pipalkoti on the Badrinath national highway, which leads to a muddy road, climbing up acutely and gaining altitude fast. Around 60 kms on that road deep inside the pine tree laiden valleys is a collection of villages starting with Devgram, which is basically known as the hub for all that is directed towards the particular pilgrimage and holy sites within Urgam Valley. The few famous villages that produce cannabis are Devgeam, Basa, kalgot and Dumak written in the increasing altitude respectively. From devgram onwards one has to start hiking since there’s no motorable road ahead. The two main collection sites are Devgram village and Basa Village, where Cannabis is grown alongside amaranth and instead of harvesting and sowing seeds each year, they let the plants grow at site by themselves year on year. Which can be seen in the stupefying diversity in the cannabis plants which are found growing naturally everywhere. Most plants do not show a very prominent
