Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

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 Octane

Velvet Octane by Humboldt Seeds was developed from various Og Kush family strains. It is a cross between 4 Og called Geist Og crossed with its own Afghan Og. The result is a plant with a robust structure and large leaves, with spicy diesel flavours and aromas and a high potency. Velvet Octane growth Velvet Octane shows a vigorous and compact development, with lateral ramification that widens and lengthens forming long colas of buds during the flowering stage. It is an ideal plant for SOG cultivation. Thanks to its great vigour and by using small pots, a perfect vertical growth is promoted in order to use the One Bud method. Topping or continuous cup pruning can also be performed to widen the plant and cultivate in SCROG or produce a good mother plant. Velvet Octane is suitable for all growing methods and systems. It requires balanced nutrition with moderate nitrogen doses and high amounts of phosphorus and potassium during the flowering stage in order to produce large and compact buds. Indoors, 6-9 plants can be used in a conventional soil cultivation without the need for pruning. Or a SOG cultivation using about 20 plants per m2 for a fast and productive harvest.
