ASK THE POT SNOB

Indica vs. Sativa

Tue, Feb 14, 2006 5:15 pm

-
Meet HIGH TIMES’ highest authority on getting high: the Pot Snob.

Dear Pot Snob,
I was reading all about the Cannabis Cup in last month’s issue of HIGH TIMES, and I noticed that the annual seed-company competition is divided into two separate categories—indica and sativa. This will probably come off as something of a rudimentary question to ask of so high an authority as yourself, oh esteemed herb aficionado and cannabis connoisseur, but what exactly is the difference between indica and sativa? And, more to the point, which kind of kind should I grow if I’m thinking about growing kind for the very first time?
Sincerely,
Would-be Indoor Grower


Dear WIG,
First of all, let me say that while I appreciate your humble tone in asking, please rest assured that there’s no such thing as a rudimentary question when it comes to marijuana, at least not to this Pot Snob. They’re all good questions, except for one: “So what makes you so high and mighty when it comes to weed, anyway?”

The Pot Snob does not like to have his authority challenged.

Now, moving on to your specific query regarding the differences between indica and sativa... Just to show you how complicated the simplest, most “rudimentary” question can be when it comes to cannabis, smoke on this: The scientific community still hasn’t reached a consensus on the question of whether indica and sativa represent two distinct species (under the shared genus cannabis) or whether they represent subsets of the same species.

Fortunately, I’m a professional Pot Snob, not a genetic-science researcher, so such theoretical questions don’t really concern me except as an interesting aside.

I’m much more interested in the real-world story of indica and sativa from the smoker’s point of view. Regardless of whether two different species evolved from the same genus or whether one species split along geographic lines, by the time mankind came around to get high, the plant had divided into two easily distinguishable lines, with sativas growing wild in almost all equatorial regions of the globe (Mexico, Thailand, Colombia, Jamaica, etc.) and indicas thriving in southern Asia and the Indian subcontinent (Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Tibet, Nepal, etc.). In each case, the plants were eventually discovered, recognized, cultivated and bred for specific uses—sativas for straight smoking and indicas for making hashish and kif. These practices continued for thousands of years, without the two lines ever crossing paths, until a combination of far-wandering hippies, the Grateful Dead and the US War on Drugs brought them together for the first time.

In the early, innocent days of illicit American marijuana smoking, from the 1930s until the declaration of an all-out war on weed at the end of the 1970s, most of what ended up filling our star-spangled bongs arrived by way of Mexico and South America, smuggled across a loosely patrolled border. Check out a copy of HIGH TIMES from our very early days, and you’ll see a steady stream of smuggled sativa strains with names like Panama Red, Punta Roja and Santa Marta Gold.

Our own founder, Tom Forçade, used to personally fly planeloads of Colombian sativa, then known as the strongest smoke on the market, into the country.

sorry to double post, but to answer the topic of the thread -

everyone pretty much hit it on the button.
-indica is a more relaxed, lazier, LESS PARANOID prone bud.
-sativa is more of a 'woah im f***in high bro' lets go to Wal-Mart type of high. Pot can make anyone lazy, but this has less potential than an indica. This type of bud is more prone to getting paranoid than an indica. But if you don't have a problem getting paranoid, this is the type of bud you can smoke during the day on breaks, etc.

These are of course my opinions from the experiences I have had. Remember, bud affects everyone differently, so don't take these words in stone.

to the guy that gets panic attacks... its all in your head. i smoke daily multiple times, and a few years ago i went through the exact thing you are going though. If you think you are going to get paranoid before you smoke, you are going to get paranoid. Remember why you're smoking bro...think of Bob Marley. Just relax, and think in your head that you are smoking to be relieved, have fun, relax, and enjoy yourself. Your problem has been solved, enjoy smoking all the time again.

This article and the idea in general that there might be two different types of weed made me curious. I have smoked pot for 5 years and have loved every second of it....until just recently...now everytime I smoke I have a panic attack, my chest feels tight, I get lightheaded to the point of feeling like passing out and my heart races uncontrollably. It has changed me and I now feel like I cant smoke pot anymore which makes me depressed because that shit has been like therapy for me. I was just wondering if anybody either knew why this happens or if switching from one type to the other might help. I would appreciate any comments back as I feel really lost right now. Ive had so many good times with pot and living without would change everything. Thanks

HOW TO TURN MARIJUANA INTO A LIQUID

Pot Snob Snob

Jan 21 2010, 11:59 am

Seriously, Pot Snob, were you high when you wrote this? Or just when you submitted it? Where is the other half of the article? Like the part where you answer the dude's question...

Indica and Sativa highs have general characteristics, as do the plants themselves. The Indica high is more of a "body" high, and can sometimes be associated with laziness, or what I like to call "couch-lock." However, some of the most sought-after indicas produce the opposite effect (I'm smoking Granddaddy Purple right now, and I kind of feel like going for a run). The sativa high produces more cerebral effects (and can really freak out newbies).

If you're worried about growing, both can be grown indoors or out, with indicas appearing as squatter bushes with more branches, and sativas looking a bit more like trees (mmmm....treeeeees). The choice you make should really depend on your setup. If you have a 3' x 4' closet that is 8 feet high on the inside that you want to throw a few plants into, then you probably want to go with sativa.

The discussion seems to be a bit academic in any case. If you have access to seeds for growing that you know are either indica or sativa, then you know the difference already, and if you don't know the difference already, you probably don't have access to seeds that you know are either indica or sativa. As for buying from your local dealer, if he doesn't know what it is, then there is no way to tell. Most strains nowadays are a mix of the two anyway.

SIMPLE SOLUTION

Dec 28 2009, 3:00 pm

I have a simple solution:
Indica and Sativa will affect you different depending on the person, ive known some people to prefer one over the other. Hell ive known people that preferred the lesser quality weed, its all about preference man.

So when you smoke, smoke what gives you the high that you like. Personally i like to pack myself a bowl of Blue Dream, and drizzle some Indica Hash Oil over it.

mmmm mmmm mmmmm

Good stuff

See what happens when you shit where you sleep...you forget how to finish writing an article....

To answer the question of sativa vs. indica is as followes:

The sativa high is often characterized as uplifting and energetic. The effects of a sativa marijuana are mostly cerebral. They give a feeling of optimism and well - being, as well as providing a good measure of pain relief for certain symptoms. A few pure sativas are also very high in THC content. They are known to have a quite spacey, or hallucinogenic, effect. Sativas are a good choice for daytime smoking.

The indica highs are most often described as a pleasant body buzz. Indicas are great for relaxation, stress relief, and for an overall sense of calm and serenity. Marijuana indicas are also very effective for overall body pain relief, and often used in the treatment of insomnia. They are the late - evening choice of many smokers as an all - night sleep aid. A few pure indica strains are very potent in THC, and will cause the "couchlock" effect, enabling the smoker to simply sit still and enjoy the experience of the smoke.

enjoy your smoke....High Times, consider hiring another writer.

I will never forget those flavors... I have horticultural degrees... And weed smoking expierinces. I even grow etnobotanicals. I have a nice Calea Zaccituchichi bush which you can smoke..lol... Sativa is truly supeiror in taste, and no skunk smell... Yes there is a differance! I can grow Indica skunk weed in FL and its strong! But I want sativa! It is way better tasting and smelling!

I was born 1960. I got hight in 1973 at 13. I could get an ounce of weed for $15. quarter ounces went for five bucks. So I had $5 for free to smoke. My dealer had Alcapuco gold! 20 bucks for an ounce! So a quarter ounce went for $10 and the "dime bag" was invented! Sell 2 and you get 2 for free! Better weed piled in. I bought it even though it was expensive. It was the best weed you ever smoked! I do not think any indica skunk weed can match the flavor! And a better high. The skunk weed is all paranoia! The good ol weed is all about munchies! There is a differance!

celticwitan

Sep 1 2009, 2:23 pm

Sativa was the nice tasting Alcapulco gold, the Panama Red, the good Mexican weed we used to have in the 70's before the paraquat! Now we have the horrible Indica skunkweed.. it is foul! A true conisoure of weed would love a 1973 alcapulco gold over skunk weed! Indica is skunk weed! I tried to grow sativa in MD and it gets you a buzz but it sucks. Here in FL anything you grow is as potent as the original weed. Skunk weed thrives. I want sativa seeds!!! They had the best flavor. Even colunbian gold was close to flavor as Alcapuco gold! Panama red rocked! Lets grow these!

Aug 30 2009, 12:46 pm

hey ive got a question i was thinkin about ordering some seeds from bc seeds they have a strain thats called ultimate euphoria but its the most expensive strain I have ever seen but Iam a firm believer you get what you pay for have you heard anything about this strain is it worth the hight price tag witch is 1200 for 10 fem seeds

be clear

Aug 22 2009, 3:54 am

the enlightener is wrong. the sativa leaves are thin and light coloured and have evolved that way because they were growing in the hottest parts of the world and needed less chlorphyll. where india leaves are fat and dark, soaking up more sun because they have less chlorophyll and grew in regions with less sun.

for WIG, indica is a safer bet to grow because of the shorter flowering season and its shorter in stature. Whereas sativa needs all the sunlight you can get it and can grow well above 6 feet (so not good for a closet) and has a much small yield and take longer to flower. However the high tends to be worth the wait.

the enlightener

May 11 2009, 2:01 pm

lol with such an authoroty trip comes mistake.it's actualy the indica that came from afghanistan,mexico,jamaica and other hot regions and the sativa coming from indonesia,asia.of course being renown for their hash india and afghanistan.also ill explain the high difference between the two unlike this so called aficcionato did not.well indica is mainly a body type of stone leaving you ready to melt into your couch (not thinking much)and the sativa has this uppy type of mind high and a socialy aplicable result that realy get's the creative juices flowing as from refference to experience's of mine

Mar 27 2009, 4:42 pm

hey for the person that is planing on buying cheap soil... dont because you dont really know what your getting and from personal experiance if you buy cheap soil you will more often then not wind up with acidic soil making ur plants seed instead of producing good weed, further more for people on the strret indica is composed of more cbd then thc nce it has a body high where as sativa has more thc. meaning mind high kind of uppitity. to answere the main question though if your groing indoors grow indica b/c they grow short and fat. also they tend to be better suited for indoors, where as sativas grow longer and better out doors. if you have nay more questions id be glad to answere them

A quick history lesson. Back in the good 'ole days, there was "barnweed". It grew wild alongside outbuildings throughout most of the midwest. A very mild buzz, it was better suited for rope and cloth than anything else. Along came the 60's and the counter revolution. Coffee houses offered places to go and smoke weed in public. In order to satisy the sudden boom in demand, "dirtweed" from Mexico was the next to arrive. Somewhere between harvest and pipe, it was buried in dirt. It was brownish red, dry, pressed and tasted like dirt. But hey, it was a buzz and "3 finger lids" (approx an oz.) sold for all of $5.00. Refined tastes demanded better and for the connoisseurs Panama Red followed closely by Acapulco Gold hit the market. Ahhhhh, good stuff and High times!! Vietnam brought new markets to bear in America. I had my first "thai stick" overseas and for those that think they have, true "thai stick" was a bud of "green" wrapped around a stem with a thin strand of the stalk. Treated with opiates, it would f**k you up. For years after Nam back in the states, novices would think killer green weed was "thai stick". NOT!! Very few folks back in the states ever sampled true "thai". But I digress. Hot weather and tropical climes brought adventurous Americans into some good smoke. But what makes my story special is that I was privy to a very special discovery whilst serving my country. I was aboard the USS Enterprise and we were the first warship from the US to take liberty in Mombasa Africa in February '73. And that my friends gave birth to most of what you smoke if it's grown in the US today! Africa had weed growing as tall as bamboo forests everywhere!! (Mauritius, an island off the eastern coast of Africa and our next stop, has weed growing over 90% of the island!). It was the color of the brown paper bags found in grocery stores and one guy tried to sell me a key for $5.00. I could have walked into the "jungle" and harvested as much as I could carry for free!! It was called many things, but the best was "two hit terror". And believe me when I say people got very creative trying to smuggle it back to the US. With antiwar protesters moving into Northern California and Oregon, it didn't take long after reaching stateside for a second generation to sprout up. Grown in America, it was brilliant green and called skunk. "Zebra" striped seeds were a hallmark of this smoke. Subsequent generations gave rises to many varietals including "purple haze" and Sansamilla.
My point? Who the hell cares if it's sativa or indica?
If ya got it burn it!
Oh yeah, don't forget to pass it too, eh?
The rest as they say, is history.

El Diablo Blanco, if you are looking for killer strains in Jamaica I know what you can ask them for. Ask around for some Lambsbread, this is Bob Marley's favourite strain, and if you are lucky you will find it. Apparently the smoke is so smooth that it is like breathing in fresh mountain air, and the high really puts you in that state of true, "Irie".

But if nobody has lambsbread just ask for "sumting a likkle dif'rent" and you will most likely get some commercial outdoor sativa that sells for 100 bucks a pound domestic. The dealer will probably try to rip you off too. Standard tourist prices in Jamaica for a pound of ganja is $150, the extra 50 for a tip for the middleman. If you pay any more than this, be sure you are gettin' ripped off

Mar 19 2007, 5:02 pm

Here it is! Indica vs sativa. Some of you have come close. However, the point of origin is the difference. The point of origin determines the concentration of THC. OK, African "Blood" is the most powerful cannabis in the world. It is mild to the taste and hell to the psychic. There is no paranoia in Blood. Paranoia comes from the impurities in the soil, the amount of light, and the air in which the plant grows. In the West African rainforest, Blood grows in rich soil, ideal light, and natural, uncontaminated air. Man-made chemicals are the industrial polutants that contamanite Indica and Sativa. By the way, going by the ancient historical time-frame, Both plants are derivatives from Blood. Now, in a more recent time-frame we will say that Sativa is an independent species of cannabis. Sativa has a more pure history of being completely separated from Blood. Sativa has less power than Indica simply because Indica is a geographically closer strain of Blood. So, if you want to walk proud as a lion, go for the pure cannabis, go for the one whose residue drops from the firey end like thick blood.

D-man and connie.....
buying seeds through snail mail paying cash is the best way to go. And honestly, your computer records every web site you ever visit. so if THE MAN really wants to he can get at you.

Also, your cell phone tracks your where abouts all the time, even when turned off, so the MAN if he REALLY REALLY wants to, can coordinate the satelites high above to get real life pictures of where you are and what you are doing at ALL TIMES.

It's so true, big brother is always watching. Just dont give him a reason to watch and we're all good. I dont mean to make you all paranoid but shit, i

Hey RVD 4;20 -Potrules

Mar 13 2006, 6:09 pm

You're one of a kind , robvandam, the whole Fucking show!

But thanks for the heads-up when its comes to the sativa, I aint lying here. Indica is great for bodyaches, spasms, and sitting on the couch with the doritos watching Dazed and Confused.

And also, Lazy dayz enroute to naptime. but when you want to go out and get Fucking busy, A super duper crazy hazy is the way to go, bar none. Some of these people blow my mind with thier comments, but its nice to hear some people like yourself who r on the level.

And yes, Mr. rvd 4:20 (back when he was the man in the ecw dayz) PLANT THOSE SEEDS!!!!!!!!!

Fuck the man, seriously...it grows like a WEED so ge them in the ground now and you'll be happy that you did. Also, when you plant them, check this...animals like people ...LOVE THE POT, so heres a quick tip. whittle away some chunks of "irish spring bar soap" circling around your plants, not too close , but make sure it circles your grow area....since animal noes are more sensative than peoples, the smell of the soap will make sure that nothing gets at em
, and eats em. But yeah, good to hear from from a guy in the know. And RVD...lets just hope theres some money in the bank for him, real soon.

Happy 4;20

i would say never order seeds through the mail, you ask why well when you order through the mail you are already leaving a trail, e-mails, a trail, phone, a trail, anything you can possibly do your leaving a trail, the best thing to do is shop in person, which still you are leaving trail cameras, pictures. Yeah you all say its only pot but inocent people die everyday from this mircle plant well the bottom line is be careful and leave no trails - FUCK YOU DEA

to humboldt
there really isn't a difference in the way you need to grow either sativas or indicas; you only need to adjust to what each and every individual strain needs in the case of nutes.
and while loose soil can be good for roots, a confined space isn't. if a plant gets root bound it'll stunt it's growth or yield. have as much root space as you can give them and make a good mix; i'd suggest 3 parts soil to 1 part perlite for indoors and 2 parts soil, 2 parts coconut coir, 2 parts polymer cryatals and 1 part perlite for outdoors.
and i personally think that 5ft tall plants indoors is WAY, WAY too tall, no matter how much light you use. for good bud to light and grow room size, i'd suggest keeping them to 1 to 3ft max. nothin but fat colas!
unless the only space you have to exploit is vertical, then just make your lighting vertical too!

humboldt hero

Mar 9 2006, 10:16 pm

ROOT SPACE:
does more confined roots help either of the two grow better?
loose soil has proved great for all my past seasons. but the more you know the better you grow!

no. the high of a plant is based on whether the THC is either pyschoactive or pyschotropic; or as this thread is about, sativa or indica...so your question wasn't off topic.
what strain you have is the high you'll get.

it doesn't matter what either of you prefer to smoke, the important thing is that you guys take a nice big hit before you post your next remarks. stoners are called lazy, dumb, good for nothing losers...the last thing we want is to tarnish the one good point about stoners...being cool and chill.
if pot doesn't help you to atleast be a little less highstrung, then maybe you might want to look into switching strains.
oh, and i never said sativas were better, just that indicas weren't either.
also off topic;
to loadem
the states(america is this side of the planet;d)doesn't have the best everything, that's why you guys import everything from everyone else... but hey, you are right about moonshine, i just wish i got a pheno that tasted like blueberry.

Yeah your sativa Haze sucks,and will put up moonshine to your Haze and let the people say what is best. Now I have seen some nice Haze but come on, we are talking growing indoors!!!!!! And yeild!!!!! not what you feel! Where is your grow room? I dont like 10 foot pot plants indoors thanks!! Any real grower knows!!! Like I said Ill put my moonshine aginst your Haze any day. Send a pic of your crop to hightimes, in fact I got 1,000 bucks says indica is better than sativa for taste, stonage factor and indoor yeild. So lay it down bro. Let settle this shit!

What the Fuck?

This is PotRules and so does the Haze.

Loadem you are out of yer bloody mind. read the question first? What the fuck are you talking about Alice?

Who was talking about growing indoors anyway? As I said in my first post..most growers dont give a shit about quality so they grow crappy couchlock indicas that are cured shitty so to add more wieght. Which is probably what you are doing.

Bubblegum compared to Nevilles, Arjans, or Love potion???!!!! You are out of your mind. You obviously have absolutely no idea what you are blabbering about.

sativa a crappy smoke? You are obviously smoking crappy bud.
And Fake ass legal bud???????

Where you do you get this from. You are truly a baseless moron that has no idea what good bud is if it hit you in the head.

keep being a total loser and keep growing bullshit, I'll see you again when you are locked to your couch smoking bullshit bud.

seed in mind - you put it quite well in one sentence. For anyone who really wants to know whats up, check out my previous post and dont listen to these poser ass punks who dont shit about the Quality Buds.


Humboldt...Sativa will put you out? What are you smoking buddy? In the Pepsi challenge
you smoke a true Indica like a Hash Plant or Northern Lights you are on the counch and going nowhere enroute to naptime. If you are smoking a true Sativa like a Nevilles or an Arjan you are up up and away.

Haze is'nt the cream, man I don't know what you have been smoking or where you are from. First read the question dumb ass! Second, you don't know the good shit from the bad! I bet you are selling haze bud and you are tripping on it. Small plants eg. indicans are best for indoor. Second, cross breed is typical of all plants. Your point? Sativa take a long time, are thin, and are low yeilding for indorrs that is. Sativa can be crapy smoke. Your haze sucks compaired to moonshine or white light. Bubblegum anyone? purple kush ? All indo plants so stfu you idiot. You don't even smoke real bud, you smoke that fake ass legal bud aka Haze, lmfao

All these moronic insults are flying around the website like fruit flies on my ex girlfriend's cooch.

I guess we are pathetic. We are so busy attacking people we KNOW we would get high with. Instead of targeting the real criminal hear. All those corrupt fuck ups in the higher office's. You know what i'm talking about

Pot Rules and HazeRules

Mar 7 2006, 11:23 pm

Loadem are you serious?

I dont know where you get your buds from but you are way off about sativas. Take a nice Toke of Nevilles Haze or Arjans Haze and you tell me then that Sativas suck.

Paranoid from Sativas? again way off. Indica and indica crosses is what causes paranoia.

Indicas do produce big phat nugs and I worte that in my first post. Most growers are only concerned with wieght and low flowering time so Indica is the way to go.
Luc Jaeger is also on about hitting the bong with a nice Indica cause it will ease the body pains and muscle spasms to the max.
Tradionally indica buds were never smoked as Buds, but were made into Hashish. Which is as Body Smooth and Mellow as it gets minus the paranoia.

Norton420 you are right on!
A super strong Sativa like any good haze is by far the Creme de la Creme of Pot.

Yes it takes longer to flower but who really cares. The THC and flavor is the tops, with a soaring Heady, energetic high.

To Loadeem, you've also said to "anyone whos been around"

Ill take it your an older smoker who recalls the old dayz of Mexican brick weed. In that case you were right about string buds with paranoia probably from the seeds.

But todays super sativas are a magnificent blend of superior genetics that will blow your mind and get you really really "high" not couchlocked.

And norton420 is also right, especially when planted outside Sativas can grow up to and exceeding 12 feet. And when they fill out produced rather huge nugs.

bottom line is ...you want to work, work out, be creative or go and party...go with the sativas perferrably a Haze variety.

If you have Headaches, Bodyaches, Backaches, muscle spasms, and feel like staying in on the couch with a good movie or some doritos, Indica is the way to go


Either way...keep Toking!

Luc Jaeger

Mar 7 2006, 10:38 pm

Besides the fact that i just packed my roor bong with the dense ass purplish mmmm indica... i prefer the indica because its more of a relaxing high heals more of my back aches... but there are some strains of sativa that surprise me with how good they taste.... back to the bong. peace out. smoke it up my friends. :)

norton420

Mar 7 2006, 8:40 pm

sorry man but i'd have to completly disagree with you.maybe the sativeas you get are shit, but not most of them. yes, sativas are from mexico, but that doesn't mean they're crap; look at alcopoco gold. sativa is a different buzz then indica. indicas couchlock you, where as sativas still allow you to do alot of work while you're stoned. it's a perfered stone for those with a busy schedule.
also, your point about sativas having small nuggs is also quite wrong. sativas have the biggest nuggs you can get due to their long flowering cycle, 9-12wks instead of 6-8 with indicas. now indicas can have tighter, rock hard buds, but their actual size is still smaller. and the sativa buzz usually isn't paranoid either.

Indica is by far better than sativa. Just a fact for people who have been around; some of the best dirt bud comes from sativas. Known as mexican dirt bud. I never have herd of a bad indica. Indica is a small plant with medium to large yeilds. Sativas are stringy buds and when you look at a sack you want fat buds. Most people are looking for a strong heavy buzz not paranoid buzz so indica wins. Skunks,and Kush oh my!

He's right, good weed is easy as hell too find. Like a year ago, we had killa nugz, now nugz suck here, not gettin anyone toked, but we got some dro ass super swag running through that will bust yo ass. That good good. And it's all anybody has. All super swag. It's amazing. P.s. Nugz and swag are the only 2 cats for me, don't know nuttin about indicas or sativas, just that if it ain't nugz, it's swag.

The best weed is grown where people know what they are doing. Take gerat seeds, optimum nutrition, superior light input and guess what you get? There is no magic in the air in BC or Cali. BC does grow a shitload of good bud, but my outdoor is just as good, cause i know what i am doing. Thats my rant.Giggle

Pot Rules

Mar 4 2006, 5:26 pm

Fishfood...maybe I'm spoiled cause I live so close to NYC but good weed is so easy to find its crazy.

The tough part of weed purchasing is that most growers are only interested in weight. Which generally mean a medium potency Indica that aint cured worth a shit.

Which means tough to break up and roll up, plus a really harsh Toke.

Indicas are my favorite for the end of the night , taking it down before bed-time or nap time, or for pain like backaches, headaches and muscles spasms. The smoke is generally thick and harsh and the high can only be described as

" I cant move off this couch. Good thing i have the Doritos next to me cause I wouldnt be able to get up and get them even if I wanted to."

Problem is, this is what most weed on the market that doesnt cost an arm an leg will do. Lots of knockout and lethargics.

Now any true Pot toker will tell you that for an active , super creative, and energetic High you have to turn to the sativas.
Perferrably some form of Haze, which is a genetic mixtures of 3 or more super strong sativa plants. This Weed generally costs more but the flavor and high are unmatched. In NYC and ounce of good haze can run from 400-500 plus.

bottom line is , anyweed is better than no weed. Speaking of which....This tokes for you.

Be Good all and God bless all us Criminals!


Ps. The weathers getting warmer and EVERYONE should be growing pot outdoors. So get them seeds started and youll be thanking me in October PEACE

You did solve the problem as to where they originated, but I think the original person who posted the article was looking for a more simpler answer. However it was very informative.

hey, im trying to grow a bunch of kick ass bud outdoors, but i got a limited budget. anybody out there got a cheap idea for soil good enough to grow descent bud in. im trying to grow alot, so i need alot of something cheap. i don't think the area i live in's dirt is sufficient becuase i've been told it has alot of clay in it, and i heard that it's hard for a plant's roots to penetrate tough dirt like that, especially when they're young. im thinking about just ogin and buying a hwole bunch of bags of cow manuer (is that how you spell it?) tha'ts like 1 dollar for a 40 pound bag at the store, and just mixing the regular dirt with the cow shit 50/50. Assuming that im getting enough light,will this, combined with regular use of the miracle grow stuff that you mix with water be sufficent enough to grow some kb? any help will be appreciated. this is just my second time around, and last tiem i grew in the regular soil, and it turned out not being all that potent, so this year i want to do it right.
peace

EROWID.COM HAS THE ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR DRUG QUESTIONS.
here's a link for this specific question:
http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_info6.shtml

Cannabis sativa , is a tall plant, generally between 8 and 12 feet. The leaves have long thin fingers and are light green. The more equatorial varieties have more yellow pigments to protect the plant from intense light. Sativa buds are long and thin and turn red as they mature in a warm environment. In cooler environments the buds may be slightly purple. Sativa plants smell sweet and fruity and the smoke is generally quite mild. It is a source of fiber for rope and other products and it contains THC which gives smokers the psychic effects they seek. The leaves of this plant are smoked but the most highly prized part of the plant is the top.

Cannabis indica, is plentiful in the Mideast, India, and Central Asia especially Afghanistan, Kashmire, and Pakistan. It is a short plant, generally between 3 and 6 feet, and its leaves have short broad fingers. The leaves are generally dark green sometimes tinged with purple. As they near maturity, the leaves may become significantly more purple. It is a strong smelling plant with a "stinky" or "skunky" smell. The smoke of indicas is generally thick and more prone to cause coughing when inhaled. Indicas are the traditional source of hashish.

Cannabis ruderalis is a debated third variety of cannabis found in Russia, Poland, and other eastern Europen countries. Schultes classified cannabis as having three species: sativa, indica, and ruderalis based on the formation of the seed pods. There is some debate as to whether there is justification for this third category. Some features of ruderalis are large seeds, short weedy plants (4-6 feet tall) and a lower level of thc than sativas or indicas.

So when you're buying on the street as we are.. forced to do, we're buying either indica or sativa at any given time? But the main difference is subuded=indica and heady & euphoric=sativa basically? cool..

clackahigh

Feb 27 2006, 7:43 pm

The question of who is better is awnsered by personal taste, if you like a subdued high and mellow indica is for you. If you like a more heady high and more euphoric high, stick with sativas.

Feb 24 2006, 7:31 pm

After the living room classes I took from well known growers in Amsterdam, my find was the best answer comes from the smoker. Upon buying your smoke(as a normal smoker, buying is usually "don't really know where it came from dude, but I always get it from this guy I know, and it's pretty right on...ya still want some?) the best way to tell is the high. It's pretty simple.......the indica high is indathecouch. Fire up the PS2 & chill. The sativa, however, is just the oposite. My friends call it 'sativa power' due to the spring in your step. Good home growers can make the crappiest indica clone turn into Mighty Mouse cheese. Just takes know-how and some love(and cash). It's difficult for me to tell the difference just from the bud. So gather your friends (those who have some), and hold your own living room session. Happy smoking!

hahah

Feb 24 2006, 2:52 pm

forgot that sativas generally take much longer to finish flowering than indicas, they usually flower 50-55 days give or take, sativas take upwards of 70, and generally speaking indicas are easier to grow than their tall lanky counterparts

hahah

Feb 24 2006, 2:50 pm

the pot snob didnt even answer the dudes questions i find that funny, as far as 5 and 7 leaves go thats horse shit, there isnt just one way to tell a indica from a sativa, sativas are tall and lanky and usually smell sweet/fruity, indicas are short and chubby plants with dense buds that have a "skunky" earthy aroma

spongirella

Feb 23 2006, 4:50 pm

while not as authoritative as "Pot Snob", i've always maintian that the basic difference between sativa & indica was the leaves. (don't laugh. sativa is a five (5) leaf digitate, while indica is a seven (7) leaf digitate. i.e. the sativa leaves has five digits, while the indica has seven.
