The first cannabis breeders were not only interested in producing strains for smoking, but they were also interested in developing seeds that were more suitable for breeding as a hobby. Twenty-five years ago, ordinary seedlings were the only choice in cultivating cannabis strains. However, with time, seeds of various strains of cannabis and indica have been developed to become successful in both indoor and outdoor farming. Indicas are usually grown indoors and are a great companion for many plants.
When selecting indica or regular seed from your local nursery or garden center, it is important to select carefully. You want to select the best plan possible, and you want to select it right from the beginning. Indicas are very popular in both indoor and outdoor gardening and can be used in almost any type of growing situation.
Indicas are not the same strain as indica, which is a cross between indicas and sativa. Indicas are a different strain, but often do very well in their own right, and are known for being stronger and often have better flowering times. They are usually grown outdoors for many reasons.
Indica is an extremely fast-flowering plant, making it perfect for growing in small containers in your backyard or garden. Indicas are highly prized by growers because of their speedy growth rate. Most indica plants bloom in three weeks to six weeks after planting, and they are very forgiving when it comes to poor growing conditions. Most indicas grow very well in soil mixed with organic matter, and it will take a bit of water to get the plants started.
Sativa plants are known for having stronger, more intense flowering periods. Sativa plants are also usually grown outdoors in gardens, as they are very hardy and tolerate dry weather. These plants are more popular in indoor gardening, although some people still prefer indices for indoor growing purposes.
Sativa plants are often used to produce more potent strains of cannabis. There are many strains of sativa that are known to produce high-quality strains that are popular with consumers. Sativa strains are commonly grown for a variety of purposes, including medical purposes, as a recreational drug, and to create the stronger, higher-potency strains found in street marijuana. Some indices are grown for pure indica pleasure, however, and are not intended to produce high-grade pot.
When selecting an indica or regular seed, consider the benefits you wish to achieve by growing one of these strains in your home garden. Indicas tend to have been bred for their flowering ability, while Sativas are bred for their growth rate. Both strains can be used to produce a variety of effects, so the end result is always something that appeals to you as the grower. Whether you are growing indica or sativa plants for use indoors, outdoor, or both, make sure you choose the best type that you enjoy.
One popular strain to start is the hybrid cross between indica and sativa. Hybrid crosses are made by crossing the strains, and this allows them to share qualities that the parents do not, such as speedy flowering. The hybrid plant has a higher chance of producing a true hybrid when compared to just planting each parent alone. Some hybrid crosses can be used to produce an entirely different product than either the parent or the original plant, which creates a completely unique type of plant. Hybrid crosses are common among breeders who specialize in this type of growing.
Many people choose a hybrid cross over indica or sativa for indoor growing because they prefer their high potency, although this is not a good choice for outdoor growing as the hybrids do not tolerate cold temperatures well. Hybrid crosses of indices and sativas can be grown in containers on a windowsill or hanging baskets, and provide a much more intense and powerful flower than regular seeds.
If you wish to grow indices for a pure indica or sativa experience, or a hybrid cross of indices and sativas for both indoor and outdoor use, it is best to plant your seed on a seedling that has been cross between two different strains. Crosses will provide an opportunity to see the different strains in action and develop a good idea of what each particular strain is like, and it will allow you to get a feel for which type of plant is best for you. This will save you a lot of money and a lot of work if you are new to the hobby of growing indica and sativa.
Before planting, check the seed for any deficiencies that could prevent your plant from getting the nutrients it needs, and then make a note of the characteristics of the hybrid cross. A hybrid cross can have a higher chance of producing a superior quality plant, while one with the same trait can produce a low-potency plant.
The most popular indica and sativa hybrid cross is called the Gresham’s Law hybrid. Gresham’s Law hybrids are highly desirable, especially if the parents are different strains from the hybrid itself. Most hybrid crosses crosses between Sativas and Indicas. Hybrid crosses allow a more even distribution of the nutrients throughout the plant, so you are sure to harvest a healthy plant that will grow quickly.
