Differences between indica and sativa
Indica and sativa are two types of marijuana that are equally loved by cannabis users, although they have very strong differences in their effect, taste, yield, etc. Actually, it is these differences that allow them to get along perfectly, not competing, but complementing each other.
Distinctive features of indica
General form
The plant turns out to be low - about a meter maximum, with dense foliage and strong central cola. This makes Indica a great option for growing in a box. Her buds are hard and resinous.
Effect
Indica and hybrids, where its content in the phenotype is more than 60%, have a relaxing effect up to a pleasant body petrification. Due to the pronounced sedative effect, this type of marijuana is most often used for medical purposes. Indica allows you to relieve pain, spasms and cramps, helps to relax after a hard day's work and overcome insomnia.
Flowering period and yield
Indica blooms for about one and a half to two months and the crop can be harvested as early as the end of October. Productivity depends on the particular variety, but on average, it is higher than that of Sativa.
Main Features of Sativa
General form
Sativa is a tall plant, for which one and a half meters is very low, and two is just right (some varieties can reach 4-5 meters in height). She has a thin stem and rare branching. Buds are not as dense as indica and resinous. Because of their tall stature, they are usually grown outdoors, although many sativa-dominant hybrids allow them to be grown indoors.
Effect

It invigorates, excites, energizes and positive up to psychedelic dreams. If indica helps to relax and relieve tension, then sativa promotes creativity, removes depression and stress.
Flowering period and yield
Sativa plants take longer than Indic plants to mature. Their flowering period lasts about three months, that is, the harvest can only be harvested at the end of November. The performance itself, on average, is lower than that of an indica, but it all depends on the variety.
