Sativas

Sativas are just about the opposite of Indicas. They are tall, thin plants, with much narrower leaves and grow a lighter green in color. They grow very quickly and can reach heights of 20 feet in a single season. They originally come from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand and Southeast Asia. Once flowering has begun, they can take anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks to fully mature. Flavors range from earthy to sweet and fruity.

Sativa's higher THC than CBD equals cerebral, resulting in a more energetic soaring type of high, which can stimulate brain activity and may produce hallucinations. Sativa plants have less chlorophyll and more accessory pigments, protecting the plant from excessive sunlight. As Sativa strains have less chlorophyll than Indica, they take longer to grow, mature, and require more light. Sativa typically takes longer to germinate and flower, and grows taller and ganglier than Indica breeds. The yield is usually lower than Indica, but is very potent.

Thai Sativa grows taller and has a longer flowering period, so they are better suited for outdoors.

Love potion #1

This was the first canadian variety to win the coveted Dutch High Times cannabis cup and since then has won many harvest festivals throughout the world.

Most recently this strain has been chosen by the largest pharmaceutical company in the world to produce cannabis medicine. After extensive research into the effect of terpenes in combination with THC leading to specific desired medical effects, our breeder was contracted to supply genetic material for a 20,000 plant research garden in the Netherlands. It was discovered that Love Potion has very high levels of the specific terpenes isolated as having the most beneficial effects for medical marijuana users.

Love Potion #1 was initially bred from a very old cutting known as G13 - a very strong old variety from Middle Eastern genetics.

We combined these old, very narcotic genetics with a seed strain collected in the mountains of Colombia that had its own legendary status in the cannabis world "Santa Marta Colombian Gold" (SMCG). After many years of selective inbreeding our breeder created a P1 or parent line of the SMCG.

The first cross or F-1 that created Love Potion was a SMCG male x G13 female clone. This new hybrid offered a balanced combination of the pain breaking quality of the G13 indica with the inspirational/ motivational effect of the Colombian. The strain swept the judges and everyone who tried it declared it the best sativa and best strain overall in 2004 in Amsterdam, Nl.

Since then the variety has become a favorite for those who really depend on cannabis for health and quality of life. The Love Potion is a rare gem in cannabis genetics because it offers a balance between pain management and depression busting motivational effects.

It is a longer flowering plant that requires a higher skill level to bring to harvest and the input and production costs are much higher than Indica #1 .

Indica

Indicas originally come from the hash producing countries of the world like Afghanistan, Morocco and Tibet. They are short dense plants, with broad leaves and often grow a darker green. After flowering starts they will be mature in 6 to 8 weeks. The buds will be thick and dense, with flavors and aromas ranging from pungent skunk to sweet and fruity. The smoke from an Indica is generally a body type stone, relaxing and laid back. Indica's higher CBD than THC equals a much heavier, sleepy type of high.

Indica plants heavy, sleepy high is relaxing and can help different medical problems. Indica yield is usually higher than Sativa, and has a shorter growing season. They are better for indoor growing because they don't get as tall. Indica plants are short, bushy, mature early, and have more chlorophyll and less accessory pigments (accessory pigments protect the plant from excessive sunlight).

As indica strains have more chlorophyll than sativa they grow and mature faster. Combining different indicas, different sativas or a combination thereof creates hybrids. The resulting hybrid strains will grow, mature and smoke in relationship to the indica/sativa percentages they end up containing.

Indica #1

Our most popular medical variety is a stout growing very broad leaved variety selected from thousands of seeds over many years. It originates from the mountains of Pakistan / Afghanistan. It is a faster flowering indica with rock hard buds.

The Indica #1 has a very high content of THC and a terpene content that lends itself to be very sedative and analgesic.

The Indica #1 meets the needs of a vast majority of our patients who suffer from acute pain and insomnia.

Indica #1 is the mainstay for the majority of those who simply want strong medicine to relax and heal. It is a simple, non-hybridized mountain indica that produces the desired effects for the majority of those in need of medical marijuana.
