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 Xian

Insane strong smell and flavour on all phenotypes, compact plants with frosty spear shaped flowers. Created from an Animal Cookies f2 male crossed to a Grenadine female The Grenadine was a very colourfull plant, dense round flowers, good resin production but the smell and flavour profile stood out the most. The Xian takes it even further by giving a more long lasting flavour that will stay for a long time after you consume. Most phenotypes are similar in smell and flavour, differences lie more in plant and flower structure
