Indica strains of cannabis are classified by their distinct composition and effects. Indicas have higher levels of cannabidiol to tetrahydrocannabinol than sativa strains, resulting in a generally more calming experience for the user. Indica plants are usually shorter and bushier than sativas, with wider leaves and deep green colors. Indicas provide a traditional body-focused high that is great for relaxation at the end of the day or managing discomfort. Indica strains also have shorter flowering cycles than sativas, making them an appealing choice for indoor cultivation projects.
