Cannabis Species

Species of Marijuana

There are three main species of marijuana: sativa, indica and ruderalis.

Sativa

Sativa varieties generally give you a more cerebral, energetic high.  They have longer, skinnier leaves.

English: Cannabis sativa, Cannabaceae, Cannabi...

Indica

The Indica varieties of marijuana are well-known for their narcotic-like, sedative, “couch lock” high.  They are fatter, heartier plants.  They do well in colder climates.

Ruderalis

Ruderalis varieties of marijuana are auto-flowering.  It doesn’t even matter what light cycle you grow them under.  They flower based on their age.  They are faster produces.  However, they tend to give you a headache and are not considered medical grade.
