Believe to have originated in the Middle East, Indica is known by its short height and bushy appearance. The leaf tends to be wider and darker green than the Sativa plant. It also produces a more powerful fragrance and denser buds. Indica plants adapted to withstand rough climates by growing faster, flowering earlier (8-12 wks) and producing thick layers of resin to protect itself. Making it great to grow indoors and for those new to growing cannabis.
Often used to treat insomnia, anxiety & stress, chronic pain and muscle spasms just to name a few. Indicas produce a deep centered body high leaving the user physically relaxed. One of my personal favorites would have to be Northern Lights with its earthy, pine and citrus flavor; its an amazing stress reliever and great for insomnia.
