Indica

Common Indica Characteristics

IndicaAll types of cannabis strains and plants have different characteristics which effect their potency, yield and even the way they look. Indica is one of the most common types of cannabis grown around the world, specifically in places such as Afghanistan, Morocco and Tibet. The look of cannabis Indica plants is quite distinct, as they are short and bushy; normally with a darker green colour than some other strains of marijuana. It is common for Indica plants to stay under 6 feet tall, although some plants have reached up to 8 foot. The short and wide fingers of the plant are dark green, normally with a purple tint that becomes more prominent once the plant matures. Most people find that Indica also grows and matures faster than many other plants, with a 6 to 8 week maturing time after flowering. This plant doesn't have any issues maturing in cooler climates, which is what makes it so popular with home growers. When growing Indica it is important to consider odour control, as the plants can produce a strong scent.

Smoking Indica Characteristics
