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 Velvet Bud

Easy to grow, smooth tasting, purple strain. This is a close relation of our Purple Bud. We remastered our original Purple Skunk variety to give a plant with a much smoother smoke hence the name Velvet Bud. This strain produces a laid back but powerful effect, for many, with an anti-anxiety high. Plants grow with long sativa side-branching that makes it ideal to be grown in a sea of green set up. Whilst the yields are`t excessive the quality in taste and smoothness (when cured properly) is easily reocognisable. Genetics: Skunk Harvest Date: End of October Flowering Period: 9 weeks
