Hybrid
Hybrid strains contain a mix of sativa and indica genetics and, depending on their lineage, can take on characteristics from both strain families.
Sativa
Sativa cannabis plants have thinner leaves and longer flowering cycles than their indica counterparts. They’re also taller: Some sativas can grow upwards of 25 feet, though most stay under 12 feet tall.
Indica
Known for their distinctive fat leaves and short flowering cycles, indica cannabis plants are also relatively small in stature, often growing under six feet tall.
