Indica Vs Sativa
Or Both!
Cannabis sativa , is a tall plant, generally between 8
and 12 feet. The leaves have long thin fingers and are light green.
The more equatorial varieties have more yellow pigments to protect the
plant from intense light. Sativa buds are long and thin and turn red
as they mature in a warm environment. In cooler environments the buds
may be slightly purple. Sativa plants smell sweet and fruity and the
smoke is generally quite mild. It is a source of fiber for rope and
other products and it contains THC which gives smokers the psychic effects
they seek. The leaves of this plant are smoked but the most highly prized
part of the plant is the top, Sativa plants give a, almost euphoric
high, soaring high in fact. sativas generally have a longer flowering
period..
Cannabis indica,
is plentiful in the Mideast, India, and Central Asia especially Afghanistan,
Kashmire, and Pakistan. It is a short plant, generally between 3 and
6 feet, and its leaves have short broad fingers. The leaves are generally
dark green sometimes tinged with purple. As they near maturity, the
leaves may become significantly more purple. It is a strong smelling
plant with a "stinky" or "skunky" smell. The smoke
of indicas is generally thick and more prone to cause coughing when
inhaled. Indicas are the traditional source of hashish. also has a shorter
flowering time of about 7-8 weeks of 12/12,
Cannabis ruderalis
is a debated third variety of cannabis found in Russia, Poland, and
other eastern Europen countries. Schultes classified cannabis as having
three species: sativa, indica, and ruderalis based on the formation
of the seed pods. There is some debate as to whether there is justification
for this third category. Some features of ruderalis are large seeds,
short weedy plants (4-6 feet tall) and a lower level of thc than sativas
or indicas.
Hybidization.( Cross Breeding)
Nowdays there are 100's if not 1000's of hybrid crosses, basically meaning
breeding programs throughout europe, especially holland and switzerland,
mergedgenes from indica plants with sativa plants in varying ratio's,
from 10% indica 90% sativa, or maybe 50% 50% indica/sativa... Crossing
the genes of the two different types of cannabis has resulted in :
long flowering time of Sativas have been reduced drastically without
much loss of sativa dominant taste and yield.
There is a medley of tastes depending on which 2 parent plants were
crossed and the percentage of each individual parent plants genes, these
factors all effect the taste and growing characteristics. Breeding stable
varieties that are uniform in gene spread with each batch of seed, is
a daunting task, which is why we have stuck with only trusted established
seed breeder/suppliers.
