Indica and Sativa are two very different strains of the cannabis plant. There are some ways one can tell the difference as it is not as obvious and most if not all consumers can hardly tell the difference. Here are some guidelines to telling the difference between Indica and Sativa.
The two of them actually originate in very different areas. Sativa thrives in the equatorial areas like Mexico, Thailand and Southern Asia while Indica thrives in central Asia and Indian countries. Indica flowers in 45- 60 days and does well indoors while Sativa flowers in 60- 90 days and does much better in the outdoor environment. Sativa is tall with thin leaves and has a fruity aroma while Indica is short, sturdy and has wide leaves leaving behind a pungent aroma.
There is also a fundamental element of effects and both Indica and sativa have a difference when it comes to the effect they both produce or have when they are consumed. First of all, Indica is to known to giving the body a numbing and cooling natural effect. This is an interesting effect since at time the body feels like resting and it lacks a remedy. Sativa has a revitalizing and an energy giving effect. For those who require energy and their adrenaline boosted, sativa provides the best solution. It is also important to keep in mind that they are supposed to be used when one is undertaking certain activities and not all.
It is also important to note that sativa has an element of helping in dealing with depression and Indica helps people dealing with lack of sleep overcome the disorder.
First before you decide on using any of this, it is more wise to contact a Marijuana consulting firm such as the Quantum 9. They will be in a positin to explain to you more about the different uses.
The thing is, when it comes to the appearance of the two varieties of weed, you can tell them apart better when you consider the plant. When still a plant, the sativa has very narrow leaves in comparison to the indica plant. The indica leaves are broad and you can see this when you look at the leaves. When mature, the sativa plant is very tall and can be very massive. The indica plant is very short compared to this and you cannot miss this difference.
Another thing to consider is the number of leaves both the plants have. Well, you cannot count the leaves but you can tell that the indica plant is very dense because the leaves grow closely together. Sativa on the other hand is very scarce in that, its leaves grow spread on the branches. This gives the sativa an airy look compared to the dense look of the indica.
