Hi again barletta,
Here is the relevant post that confirms that BW is : Brazilian Sat x South Indian indica/sativa Hybrid
In the case of LaNina, when we read in the description LN:''3/4 Indica 1/4 Sativa'' ,I personally believe the ''3/4 indica'' comes from the Widow side and Shanti just considered the WW male as 100% indica due its the extreme indica expression , contrary to what the percentage would be in theory.To sum up I personally speculate that LN is a WWxHaze backcrossed to WW.. ..I really believe this is the case..but I may be well wrong and things are different.There is only one way to know for sure.
I m not speculating that the South Indian is a sat/ind hybrid. As said 2 posts before, I know it to be a fact cause I 've read it numerous times from Shanti himself mate.barletta said:''EDIT - Nowhere in the equation is there a cross between a pure indica and a pure sativa as you state. Brazillian (sat) x S.indian (you speculate that it is a hybrid, and I have no problem with that, ...''

And here is another interesting post regarding the WW male used in the LaNina.Shantibaba said:''..We test all F1 to make sure between 70/80 % of them show similar phenotypes...that is when we consider the breed a stable breed to sell. The exceptions are in the sativa strains like SSH and Mango etc... where we use aroma/taste as a main trait to breed with. When the sativa strains show 70/80 % with similar taste and smells we consider that to be a stable breed ready for the market. This can take more than 2 years to do, so alot of time and selections go into a strain that is sold from MNS.
With specific reference to MM or White Rhino, you will see a predominant phenotype towards the Afghani traits expressing themselves.Since the widow father has south indian sativa/indica x brazilian sativa you will see to a lesser percentage traits that express and combine to the afghani but vary towards either side of the gentic pool it takes its makeup from...''
As you see from shanti's above post , you can see in that G13WW case he says 'theoretically' . In reality though , obviously ,the indica or sativa percentage/expression may be way different.Shantibaba(was a reply on a Q about G13WW) said:Hi all
When any plant is breed to a male it takes on the males genes as it does the female side of things. The male used in this union was the Widow male which makes the white family breeds such as the Shark, Medman, BW and La Nina. The origins of this plant are South Indian x Brazilian, that means if the female side origins of G13 were say Afghani(just as an example) then 25% of the gene pool available would be Brazilian. Now depending upon the selection an individual goes with you may select out or severely reduce any Brazilan side, if your preference was towards the Afghan side of things. But that all depends upon the selector as you can see.
In short Brazilian sativa theoretically contributes 25% to this makeup.
In the case of LaNina, when we read in the description LN:''3/4 Indica 1/4 Sativa'' ,I personally believe the ''3/4 indica'' comes from the Widow side and Shanti just considered the WW male as 100% indica due its the extreme indica expression , contrary to what the percentage would be in theory.To sum up I personally speculate that LN is a WWxHaze backcrossed to WW.. ..I really believe this is the case..but I may be well wrong and things are different.There is only one way to know for sure.
