Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Sativa 100%
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 Zimbabwe
This strain is collected from the South African border on foothills around the fast flowing rivers near Victoria falls. The falls themselves were described as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800's which translated means "The smoke that thunders". It may be possible that this name was also inspired by these extremely powerful plants that grew nearby. The climate of the area is tropical but moderated by altitude and the area can get cold in the evening and morning a lot of the time, meaning this strain can cope well with most conditions. Animals in this region of Africa include sizeable populations of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and antelope. The river above the falls contains large populations of hippopotamus and crocodiles, Lion and leopard are also occasionally seen but Vervet monkeys, Baboons, birds and insects make up the main wildlife found near to where this strain grows. Tribes include the Shona people who are traditionally agricultural and known for their music and stone sculpture. These people have lived in this region of the Southern African plateau for around 2000 years and, although made up of various different clans, the elders we kn
