Indica plants grow short and bushy with big, wide leaves and small internodal spaces. Indica plants tend to produce bigger, bushier buds as compared to Sativa plants and are known as high-yielding, easy to grow plants with a 7-8 week flowering time. Cannabis from the indica species is well known for its sedative and relaxing effects. Many consumers equate indicas with a “couch-lock” high that leaves the consumer feeling mellow and sleepy. Indica strains are intended more for consumption at night due to their sedative effects. Indicas are also excellent for taking a load off at the end of the day, or for relaxing and unwinding on the couch with a movie and some snacks. Indica strains tend to be higher in CBD and lower in THC compared to Sativa strains.
