There are 4 ‘types’ of cannabis
Indica, Sativa, Ruderalis and Rasta
Sativa Originated in the tropics. Respond
slowly to 12 hour photoperiod. Generally resist fungal growth. Tall, leggy
stature with spacious inter-nodal length. Large sprawling root system. Large
narrow bladed leaves. Somewhat sparse flowers indoors. Sativa is also known as
"connoisseur weed", brainy and uplifting high. The kind of high which helps you
work and play as oppose to sleep and Veg. Pretty difficult plant to grow and not
a big yielder. Preferred by medical consumers of cannabis.
Indica Originated in northern latitudes.
Respond quickly to 12 hour photoperiod. Generally resist pests. Squat, bushy
growth, stout stems. Condensed root system. Broad leaves, dense flowers. This is
the "commercial" type of strain. The kind of high which helps you Veg. and sleep
as oppose to play and think. The yield from a pure Indica is above and beyond
any Sativa that is why many professional growers grow Indica only.
Ruderalis Generally speaking its a eastern
European plant that considered to be Ditch-weed. The good thing about Ruderalis
is that they flower automatically. The smoke is horrible. Do not grow this
plant.
Rasta. New strain recently discovered,

What is a hybrid?
A hybrid is the offspring
of two parents of different breeds, varieties or genetic make-ups.
What are F1
seeds?
F1 seeds are the first
generation offspring resulting from a cross of two true breeding
plants. They are the best seeds because they experience ‘hybrid
vigor’ and will grow about 25% faster and larger than seeds
resulting from two plants that do not breed true.
What are F2
seeds?
F2 seeds are offspring
from F1 parents. They will not experience ‘hybrid vigor’
