Cannabis Indica
General
Canabis Indica is a short plant, usually under 6ft tall,
rarely over 8ft tall. Its marijuana leaves have short, wide
fingers and are deep green, often tinged with purple.At
maturity, the marijuana leaves start to turn even darker
purple. It has short branches laden with thick, dense
marijuana buds, which mature early, usually about the
beginning of September.
Appearance and Smell
The marijuana buds vary in color from dark green to purple,
just like their marijuana leaves. Under cooler conditions,
the coloration becomes more intense. The marijuana buds have
little trouble maturing under the cool conditions of our
northern climate. Indica marijuana buds smell stinky, you
know the type that smell like bad B.O often pungent and
their smoke is thick even a small toke will often induce
fits of coughing.
Effects
The indica highs are most often described as a pleasant
body buzz. Indicas are great for relaxation, stress relief,
and for an overall sense of calm and serenity. Marijuana
indicas are also very effective for overall body pain
relief, and often used in the treatment of insomnia. They
are the late - evening choice of many smokers as an all -
night sleep aid. A few pure indica strains are very potent
in THC, and will cause the "couchlock" effect, enabling the
smoker to simply sit still and enjoy the experience of the
smoke.
The marijuana produced by indica plants is generally higher
in CBD and lower in THC than sativa plants. This means
marijuana from a pure Cannabis indica strain will produce a
heavier, sleepy type of stone (when compared with marijuana
from a Cannabis sativa plant). The best Indicas have a
relaxing social high, which allows the person to sense and
feel the environment, but does not lead to thinking or
analyzing the experience. Other Indicas get you, well
shit faced, heavy neck experience I like to call it, to
total sleepouts, one spliff and its goodnight! Aside from
recent colonisation, Indica is found in Afghanistan,
Pakistan, India and other surrounding areas. All of these
fall between the 25th and 35th parallels, and have extremely
variable weather - rainy one year hot the next, and so on.
For that reason, each plant population's gene pool is
heterogeneous. Plant characteristics vary regarding all
phases of their growth including maturation time and climate
preferences. In any season, no matter what the weather, some
marijuana plants do well.
Grow Facts
Cannabis indica probably
originated in the areas around the Himalayas in Asia. It is
now cultivated in most parts of the globe. When grown
outdoors, an indica plant seldom exceeds 10 feet in height.
However, indica is the most bushy of all species of
cannabis.
The yield of Cannabis indica plants is usually higher than
Cannabis sativa plants of a similar height. Cannabis indica
plants take less time to mature than sativa plants.
Cannabis indica strains don't get as tall as Cannabis sativa
strains but they are bushy and have to be grown further
apart. A short Cannabis indica strain is ideal for growing
in an area where height is a consideration (like when being
grown indoors).
