Reading Sativa Percentage Claims

[justicebzwieg]

Labels claiming 80 percent sativa or 90 percent sativa are marketing shorthand and not the result of any genetic test. Two strains with the same stated percentage can behave completely differently in the tent, because the number usually just reflects the breeder's guess about lineage. When I want a realistic idea of how a strain will grow I read the lineage breakdown and grow diaries at https://hazesativaseeds.com instead of trusting the percentage on the pack. Flowering time and stretch tell you far more than that figure ever will.
