Hindu kush sativa pheno problem

[Buggins]

I purchased a pack of Hindu Kush from Sensi because I wanted a pure indica for my medical problems (crohn's disease) as strains with sativa in them actually make my pain worse, and give me panic attacks.

Here is Sensi's description of their Hindu Kush...


This pure Indica seed-strain comes directly from the massive mountain range for which it is named. The Hindu Kush is the western spur of the Himalayas, covering half of Afghanistan and straddling the borders of Pakistan and India, reaching almost to China.

This cultivar has been selected for quality and stability over countless generations, always breeding within its own gene pool. Hindu Kush produces very consistent seedlings and is an excellent variety for uniform indoor crops grown straight from seed. Plants are dark green, squat and powerful with classic, broad-bladed Indica leaves. In warmer climates, below about 42°N, Hindu Kush can flourish outdoors.

Flowering is strong and reliable, producing fast harvests of thick Afghani buds even in the hands of a novice grower. Hindu Kush has a subtle scent of sandalwood tinged with the sweet aroma of fresh charas. Potency is remarkably high for a non-hybrid strain, with the mellow, positive body vibration possessed by the famous high-altitude Indicas. Hindu Kush also imparts a calm, contemplative mental state, instead of the brain-numbing stone of later Indica, Afghanica and Skunk hybrids.

If this is PURE INDICA as they state, and selected for quality and STABILITY, always INBRED, producing CONSISTENT seedlings, DARK GREEN, SQUAT, BROAD BLADED, etc etc. Then what the EF is going on with my seeds?

Out of 6 seeds that germinated, I've got three that sound like the above description, and three that look like PURE SATIVA! They are taller than the rest, lighter green, with very thin leaves. Side by side with a fellow grower's super silver haze plant from Greenhouse Seeds, they look almost identical. SSH is almost 100% sativa.

How is it possible to get a sativa pheno in a PURE indica? I feel like I've gotten totally ripped off here, as this is not what their description stated. I emailed them about it, and just got a limp dick cut and paste response that said "Ask in the forum, we can't talk about cultivating cannabis"

Anyone know why I would be getting a sativa pheno?

[sookieme]

first off , it sounds like the rumors and peoples complaints are true and Sensi isnt what it used to be

secondly ,,,

SSH :
Family of breed: 25% Skunk, 25% Northern lights, and 50% Haze

unsure what to say about the sativa leaning plant if it makes your pains worse , is there anyone you can trade meds with ?

best of luck

I think I'll grow out one of the sativa pheno's and see what the result is. I never like to judge a plant just on it's looks, you never know when you'll find that one magic pheno that just cures everything.

I'm just disappointed because I wanted a nice heavy indica, and up until this point I had considered sensi one of the best breeders out there. Double disappointment.

I'm the only medical grower in my area, so nobody to trade with unfortunaley.

Regardless of its looks, it'll still be indica dom. You should see my C-99 mama. Shes strait sativa but expresses indica leaves. Grow her out cuz she could be terrific.

[Buggins]

Yeah, I will grow her out regardless. She's actually very healthy and vigorous, so you never know. It may be one of those sativa looking plants with indica effects.

Only one way to find out. It will also be interesting comparing the effects of the two phonos to see how similar or dissimilar they are.

I bought a pack of Seedsmans Hindu Kush, aka Narkush, because the postman stole my Afghan#1. I lost 7 strains to the crazy spring flood this year, but I managed to save a Kush and it is an awesome strain. Killer deal for the money from the attitude. Looks like your 10 pack was mixed up with the sativas. There's no mistaking pure indica. Good luck!
