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 Velvet Moon

Velvet Moon is an Indica dominant hybrid. A Do-Si-Dos selection with a high recognition in the US crossed with Holy Punch, one of the latest breeding projects by Franco Loja. Velvet Moon shows a vigorous growth in all types of cultivation, developing a large number of side branches. These no need of support with stakes until late flowering. It delivers medium-high yields. Velvet Moon, cannabis with fresh fruity and earthy lemon flavours The compact spherical flowers show beautiful colours, forming large calyxes thanks to the Holy Punch inheritance. The buds develop large amounts of resin due to the Do-Si-Dos heritage. Velvet Moon's terpenes are sweet and spicy, reminiscent of fresh fruit (Holy Punch) combined with sour and earthy lemon notes coming from Do-Si-Dos, making the smoke delicious on the exhale. Velvet Moon produces an almost instant and long lasting mental high that slowly fades into a blissful and pleasant happy feeling that lasts for hours.
