Growing Weed: Indica Vs. Sativa

GROWING WEED: INDICA VS. SATIVA

Germination

When you first get a seed, you need to prepare it and set it up so that a root can actually break from the seed’s shell and begin to do its magic. A simple way to do this is with a paper towel and some water. Start by submerging the seed in some water and let that sit for about 24 hours.

Once that is done, move the seeds over to a paper towel, make sure it’s damp and wet but not necessarily drenched.

How to get started

Today we want to really get into what to know about your seeds and how to get a better idea of what you have. But we can’t look at a seed and know whether we are gonna get flower off it or not. For that we have to actually grow the plant and see what happens. In order to do that our seed has to go through some steps.

SAPLING AND EARLY GROWTH

From here you wanna move that seed out of the paper towel and either into the soil or a hydroponics system. The seed will continue to grow under a light source, the light should be about 12-24 inches above the plant. In the very beginning stages and most of all veg stage you wanna keep the plant at an 18 on/ 6 off as a light schedule. From here monitor and keep an eye on the plants, feeding them nutrients as needed.

INDICA

SATIVA

Now that we have a basic overview of growing marijuana, it’’s time to talk about how to identify and recognize what you are growing. A note before we get into it, though, the only true way to know what strain you have is to know before you grow. My tips

and tricks are to understand some basic qualities and take more

accurateandspecific

guesses of what you got.

Sativa – When looking at a sativa, the leafs of the plant will be thin and long. They are skinny from the base all the way to the tip. But rather than them growing bushy and wide, they grow tall. Even when topping the plant, growers will notice that these guys grow long and tall.

Indica–Thetypicalgrowth

pattern for these guys is bushy and big. The leaf of the plant will be large, but not extremely long. They are thick at the base and thinner to the tip. The plant’s main stem can grow tall, but typically the plants grow out wide and bushy, making topping the plant crucial to really boost the harvest and quality of the nugs

Leafs

Looking at those seeds would be useless to determine whether or not the plants are male or female. When the plants grow a couple of nodes as the image above shows, we can determine sex. Female plant will grow calyx and from their little pistils will form from there. It basically would look like another leaf in the flowering area. Male plants however will create pollen sacs in the flowering area and from there can impregnate the females. It is important to identify this as soon as possible or any work you do to grow flowers and bud will be a wasted effort.
