eh, lots of heresay and the guy is really making his own conclusions.
I do agree that indica doesn't offer nearly as much of the insightful deep highs, most of us probably should grow more sativas... I actually am looking into it.
I have noticed the amounts of insights I have on indica are dramatically TRUMPED by those of sativa.... so he definitely has a point here.
my thing is, how the hell do I get a sativa that's not too hybridized with indica that's going to grow great in my climate.
I do have sativa from 2 years ago I grew, there may be seeds... I should look hard.
the thing is people are so used to indicas they don't realize when they have a good sativa... it takes the right mindset to use sativas in a way that is good.
you also gotta adjust your tolerance for sativas, if you sm oke indicas all day long you will never like anything sativas have to offer you, except the rarest most potent sativas but that's kinda getting redundant.. if you want to enjoy sativas you gotta only blaze indicas at night or late afternoon. pretty much...
as far as flowering time goes, I figure climatization will do the job for me. first year will probably not finish very good, second year will be better, 3rd year even better, etc.
yeah sativas are historically tropical.I live in a desert. Sativas are historically tropical right? That's why I can't grow them outside where they can flourish. The humidity here rarely gets above 30% unless it's gonna rain. And it only rain like 3 inches here annually or something ridiculous like that. Your right on about smoking sativa and changing your mindset/habits. You have to not be expecting narcotic paralyzation. If you go into a sativa with better expectations, it's surely more enjoyable.
I think the main reason people don't smoke them is because it usually takes more weed to get stoned.
But as the author put it, trying to get stoned on a sativa is an oxymoron. Sativas do get you high while indicas get you stoned. You can smoke enough sativa to get stoned, but it usually takes a lot.
There really isn't a choice when your broke. You don't have the luxury of deciding what kind of high you like. Whatever weed you get, you smoke till you get stoned even if that includes a headache, confusion and disorientation.
Right on man. I'm looking into higher sativa leaning hybrids for next grow because of this too.yeah sativas are historically tropical.
but cannabis is notorious for evolving very quickly... if you take any super tropical sativa and breed it out in the area you live, guarantee you after 4 or 5 generations you will have a plant very tolerant to the weather around you.
and ideally, the high wont change because it will retain the cannabinoid cocktail while changing it's growth characteristics.. this is a much better way of retaining the high of a sativa but making it able to grow in whatever area you live.
I started a lil thread because of this:

I already found 3 PRISTINE seeds out of this dirty schwaggy mexican bud that was 10 years old that my mom has. we obviously don't touch the shit since we have epic buds to blaze... but I see the potential and I've smoked this mexican bud before and it got me VERY high.... so I"m already germinating the 3 because of this thread![]()

yeah i hear ya... you know me already though bro... like for instance.. that last batch of bluedream was the best example i ever had of it and it got me way blazed for like 30 min or so... but ima pass on it for the next kush strain commin from cali....
