As we all know now we have Sativa based cannabis and Indica based cannabis and the latest into this group has been dubbed a hybrid. Lets look at the differences.

Sativa

Sativa strains of marijuana can grow up to 6 meters tall and take a long time to cultivate. This plant is known to have long thin leaves. Sativa gives a mind high and helps with creative thinking and focused tasks. Sativa strains do better in hot climates, they love the heat and outdoors. They are best when grow outside using the natural elements. Sativas are know to contain more THC than CBD. Durban poison and train wreck are examples of sativas in SA.

Indica

Indica strains are known for more of a body high, they are stains you want to smoke while you Netflix and chill. These strains are known to relax the body and mind, giving the smoker a “lazy” high. Indica plants are able to withstand harsher climate conditions. So they are found in countries that have less heat. These plants leaves are short and fat compared to sative. Because it needs to protect itself from harsher elements it produces more cannabinoids, so indica is the popular choice for medical based marijuana products as it has higher levels of CBD than THC generally. OG kush is an example of an indica strain available in SA.

Hybrid

Hybrid is a mix of both. High levels of both THB and CBD. This is when a sativa meets a indica and makes babies. Because hybrids are so varied it’s hard to say what kind of high you’re going to get. Through hybrids we have been able to see marijuana plant strength almost double! YES! Thank you growers. The look of a hybrid plant is different, it’s clearly a child of sativa and indica.
