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.
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.
Hybrid plants have a combination of both Indica and Sativa growth characteristics which are relative to strain ratio. |
