Indica vs Sativa vs Hybrid - Understanding the differences

Choose cannabis genetics: Indica compact with 8–10 weeks flowering and relaxing effect, Sativa tall in 10–14 weeks with energetic effect — a full comparison.

Indica: Short, bushy, short flowering time (8-10 weeks), relaxing effect, higher CBD content. Sativa: Tall, slender, long flowering time (10-14 weeks), energising effect, higher THC content. Hybrid: Combination of both, desired properties can be combined. Terpenes determine flavour and effect more than indica/sativa classification.
