The classic three-bucket model is a useful shortcut, not a hard rule. Modern hybrids blur the lines, and individual response varies.

Indica

• Body-leaning. Heavy, relaxing, "in da couch."
• Best for: evening use, sleep, pain, stress.
• Typical examples: Northern Lights, Granddaddy Purple, Bubba Kush.

Sativa

• Head-leaning. Energetic, creative, social.
• Best for: daytime, creative work, hiking, social events.
• Typical examples: Sour Diesel, Jack Herer, Durban Poison.

Hybrid

• Mix. Most modern strains are hybrids. Will skew indica- or sativa-leaning.
• Best for: depends on the cross. Read the strain notes.

Why the model is shaky

The "indica vs sativa" effect is better predicted by terpene profile than by genetics. A "sativa" Sour Diesel and an "indica" Granddaddy Purple may share more genetic ancestry than either does with a true landrace. We list strain type AND dominant terpene on every product so customers can pick on either signal.

Reading our product copy

• "INDICA / SATIVA / HYBRID" — the bucket.
• "Myrcene-forward" / "Limonene-forward" — the dominant terpene.
• Two together = useful prediction. Just one = guess.
