THREAD RESSURECTION

a while ago when i first joined this forum i started a thread asking the difference between Sativa and Indica that went nowhere in the direction id hoped so im here to try again.

question
whats the difference between Sativa and Indica -- to you

this thread went nowhere last time because i realize my question was poorly written but to be honest i find it hard to put into words so ill describe it this time and hopefully we get somewhere.

my answer
naturally i get the typical more energetic high from Sativa and a more medicated stoned from Indica strains but i find that this in no way gives me what id expect from them. prefferably i try to avoid some sativa and sativa dominant strains. and if i grow hem i generally allow them time for a decent portion of the trichomes to be fairly nice and amber.

why;
because im looking for motivation, relaxtion and inspiration. two of whish are traits more commonly associated with sativa highs (motivation and inspiration) but for me indica is the way to go. i like smoking a bowl and feeling relaxed this in tern calms me down and i can think more clearly and enjoy the finer things in life or play my guitar feeling somewhat inspired.

what im getting at is as you can see how sativa and indica influence you and your life as an individual and which one you preffer... or something like that lol.

lets see if it works this time lol.
peace out

p.s please feel free to mention any traits you have found to be notorious for a strain as well if youd like. you never know some people may agree with you

nnabis Indica And Sativa

The Differences between Indica and Sativa Cannabis plants:
Fat Leaves and Short Bush = INDICA
Thin Leaves and Tall Bush = SATIVA
Indica....higher CBD than THC equals heavier, sleepy type of high. Yield is usually higher than Sativa, and shorter growing season. Better for indoor growing, because they don't get as tall.
Sativa....higher THC than CBD equals cerebral, soaring type of high, more energetic Yield is usually lower than Indica, but is very potent. eg: Thai Sativa grow taller and have a longer flowering period, so they are better suited for outdoors.
Sativa's typically take longer to germinate and flower, and they grow more gangly then indica breeds.

More info on Indica/Sativa identification:

Sativas are just about the opposite of Indicas. They are tall, thin plants, with much narrower leaves and grow a lighter green in color. They grow very quickly and can reach heights of 20 feet in a single season. They originally come from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand and Southeast Asia. Once flowering has begun, they can take anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks to fully mature. Flavors range from earthy to sweet and fruity. Sativa's higher THC than CBD equals cerebral, soaring type of high, more energetic which can stimulate brain activity and may produce hallucinations. Sativa plants are taller, take longer to mature, have less chlorophyll and more accessory pigments (accessory pigments protect the plant from excessive sunlight). As Sativa strains have less chlorophyll than Indica they take longer to grow, mature, and require more light.
Sativa typically takes longer to germinate and flower also, and grows more gangly then Indica breeds.
Yield is usually lower than Indica, but is very potent. Thai Sativa grows taller and has a longer flowering period, so they are better suited for outdoors.

Indicas originally come from the hash producing countries of the world like Afghanistan, Morocco, and Tibet. They are short dense plants, with broad leaves and often grow a darker green. After flowering starts they will be mature in 6 to 8 weeks. The buds will be thick and dense, with flavors and aromas ranging from pungent skunk to sweet and fruity. The smoke from an Indica is generally a body type stone, relaxing and laid back. Indica's higher CBD than THC equals a much heavier, sleepy type of high. Indica plants have a heavy, stony high that is relaxing and can help different medical problems. Indica yield is usually higher than Sativa, and shorter growing season. Better for indoor growing, because they don't get as tall.
Indica plants are short, bushy, mature early, have more chlorophyll and less accessory pigments (accessory pigments protect the plant from excessive sunlight). As Indica strains have more chlorophyll than sativa they grow and mature faster.
Combining different indicas, different sativas or a combination thereof creates hybrids. The resulting hybrid strains will grow, mature and smoke in relationship to the indica/sativa percentages they end up containing.

Here is a quote from Hilary Black of the British Columbia Compassion Society:

"Indica and Sativa are the two main varieties of the cannabis plant used as medicine. There are many strains that are crosses of those two varieties. Within each of those varieties and crosses there are a huge number of individual strains, each with a different cannabinoid profile and effect. According to anecdotal evidence, the Indica strains are a relaxant, effective for anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, among other symptoms. The Sativa strains are more of a stimulant, effective in appetite stimulation, relieving depression, migraines, pain and nausea. We are now aware of specific strains that are effective for specific conditions and symptoms."

People are dumb lol...

To me, both types motivate me but I typically switch every now and again between what I pick up. Usually stick to OG and Kush but this time I went all sativa and grabbed some Maui and Green Crack kief. I love the baked eyes, pressured face, staring, and the tingles running down your body. It makes me talk and gets me more active. Indica for me is kind of just a knockout weed. Helps me sleep and gets me really relaxed and I think a lot.

They both have the same motivation to me because it calms me down... but what I get just depends on what I'm feeling like. Love my Sativas and Indicas.

it's all the same to me. i smoke so much bud and drink some much soda and coffee that i'm wired and stoned regardless of what's in my bowl.

most of my grows lean towards sativas and i tend to let my sativas go until they get couch-locky. so i get the best of both worlds.

Benassi · #6 10-17-2009, 09:43 PM

Speaking of Sativas... C-4 is amazingly bomb.

green crack is all it's cracked up to be.

If I understand you correctly you want to know why one perfer sativa over indica or vice versa. Well, I perfer Indica over sativa only because my main reason for cannabis is pain relief and insomnia help. Indica's have no downside except for their knockout couchlock stone, when you need to work/do something.
Sativa's on the other hand give me appitite, inspiration, talkitive, and energetic compaired to Indica's. But I don't care for the head aches I seem to get from them. Not often, only when I've been smoking all day.
