Fun marijuana facts - Indica vs Sativa, which one is more colorful?
No matter what the effects or characteristics are, one question always remains the same, and that is, which one is better? Indica or Sativa? Though the two types of weed seem to have kept up to each other relatively well, in most departments, the fanciest, brightest and most vibrant marijuana strains are the result of careful selection and crossbreeding. Hence the reason why so many of the world’s most popular strains are some version of hybrid, with a lineage that originated in some of the hottest and most humid climates around the globe. These extended periods of heat and sun exposure are believed to have a significant impact on the shade and how vibrant the color of the buds on marijuana plants are.
