Strain Types

Basic Cannabis Strain Types

Each seed gives birth to a plant, but there are countless varieties with their own distinct differences.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of different cannabis strains today with more popping up on a constant basis.

But all varieties can be grouped into these three main categories:

Sativa Dominant
Indica Dominant
Hybrid
High CBD

Sativa Dominant

Sativa is a subspecies or variety of a certain plant. Sativa plants are characterized as having thin wispy leaves, tall stature, and a long flowering period.

They are also known to grow better in warmer climates and have an energetic buzzy effect when consumed. The color red is often used to symbolize Sativa varieties.

Indica Dominant

Indica is a subspecies or variety of a certain plant. Indica plants are characterized as having wide fan-like leaves, short stature, and a shorter flowering period.

They are also known to grow better in cooler climates and have a calming depressant effect when consumed. The color blue is often used to symbolize Indica varieties.

Hybrid Varieties

Hybrid is a term that is used when Sativa and Indica plants are bred together. This creates a plant that takes properties from Sativa and Indica.

In other words, the final product could have the long leaves of a Sativa and the short flowering period of an Indica. Effects when consumed vary as well from one Hybrid to the next depending on genetic expression.

The color green is often used to symbolize Hybrid varieties.
