    What really is the difference between indica and sativa? I know the leaves are different widths but is there a difference in the potency or effect? I haven't really paid attention to any of that and the three growbooks I have don't mention exactly what the difference is.

    Indica's grow to about a max. height of 6'--7' and are wide.
    Sativa's can soar to 12' tall or more, but much skinnier.
    Indica's mature faster. They're usually ready to chop mid-Oct, sativa's maybe not til early--mid Nov.
    Indica's produce more of a body, couch-lock stone. Good for watching a movie, tv, listening to music.
    Sativa's produce more of an active, mind high, great for parties, throwing a frisbee around and sex.

    I do not like indica, I hate it really

    although, I have found that vaping will give you a more heady high with indica

    For growers with limited head room under lights the best choice is often an indica. The more compact and quicker flowering indicas often yield more in a shorter time while many sativa's require more light and often stretch under insufficient lighting.

    I agree with the high differences and what Ranger stated but these generalities do have their occasional exceptions like Nevilles haze which is all sativa but has a great body high with its head rush. Probably the finest sativa I know but I would never grow it indoors. 14-17 weeks to flower and not a large yielder. BOG

    /\ If they did that there'd be multiple taxes and such just like tobacco,and probly more expensive!
