Explaining the difference between Indica and sativa

Posted by Jakov Pronin on March 25th, 2020

While choosing the right kind of cannabis seeds in Kittery, we need to pay attention to a lot of things. When a novice grower comes to us and hears terms such as auto flower, purple weed, Indica, sativa and so on, he or she is mostly confused. This confusion is due to the lack of information and thus, we decided to pick up a topic of Indica and sativa to explain what are these, how are they different from each other and which one would be the best fit for you if you are about to buy cannabis seeds in Kittery.

Indica and Sativa are two species of cannabis. Whatever seeds you pick from our store or from any other store, those will belong to any of these two species. Both the Indica and sativa are significantly different from each other. Not only are they different in taste, flavour or appearance, they exhibit different patterns of growth, leaf structure, flowering time and buds as well. 

A tubular representation of differences can be created but here, we would explain in pointers the difference between these two:

1. Indica has a wide and short leaf structure, while the sativa plant will showcase a small and tall leaf structure. This is a very obvious difference anyone can make out.

2. The bud structure of Indica is compact and heavy and for sativa, the bud structure is light and airy. If you are looking for a subtle and light taste, you should opt for Sativa always.

3. Indica is meant to be grown in cold climate while sativa is opted for colder regions. In fact, there are some sativa that are even suitable for extreme cold zones.

4. The flowering time of Indica is short, while for sativa it is long and thus, for the results, the grower should keep some patience.

5. Indica seeds should be grown indoors and on the other hand, sativa is grown better in the outdoors. 

6. THC is quite low in Indica seeds, but it quite high in sativa. Talking about the CBD content, Indica is high in it while sativa has a low count on CBD.

7. If you love earthy taste and smell, you should pick up the sativa seeds and on the other hand, if you have a fetish for sweet smell you should go for the Indica.

8. The aroma of Indica is a bit skunky while you would love the aroma of sativa that is a little spicy and pungent.

Depending upon your requirements and looking at the differences, you can decide which seeds you should pick up for your next cultivation.
