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 Vietnam Black

Genetics: Vietnamese Black Latitude: 9°N~21°N Elevation: 〈5,000 ft / 〈1600 meters Sourcing: Private donor reproduction Height: 2-3 meters Vegetative: 6-8 weeks (indoors) Flowering: 12-16 weeks (indoors) Yield: Very high Aromas: sandalwood,meats,incense,oranges, occasionally petrol, and vanilla. Effects: perception altering, heavily potent Phenotypes: 2 Characteristics: big dark purple/blackish flowers,mold and humidity resistant Grow type: outdoors,grenhouse,indoors Said to be a hybrid of a longer flowering strain from the south of Vietnam, and a shorter flowering strain closer to China. The illustrious phenotypes of the Vietnam Black would seem to support that, with a relatively short flower time for a pure-sativa. There are some plants with a tendency to vine, reminiscent of a myriad of other long-flowering sativas from Southeast Asia. The branches appear to produce no lignin at all, and as such, will need support to keep their massive flowers aloft. These plants tend to be the more psychedelic phenotypes. The second phenotype is much sturdier, but don’t let that fool you, she will easily outgrow herself. And as such, these phenotypes will also need some sort of support structure
