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.

This is a very accurate representation of the original Sourl that was super common on the West Coast back in 2005-2010. She’s a crazy stretcher and she’ll absolutely require trellising. Indoors, don’t let the tops get too close to the lights or too hot or she can foxtail on you. Outdoors. the plants can get massive. Don’t expect to harvest much before late Oct, however, the plant is quite hardy and can take a fair amount of environmental abuse. Notes: Sour Diesel has been a notoriously difficult cultivar to breed with, This majority of the offspring do not carry the extremely gassy traits of the
