This question strikes most new growers as they want to grow the best weed. But what determines the ‘best’? Is it the sedative effects of Indica or the cerebral high from a sativa?
This boils down to what your really looking for. Some users of cannabis think that being couch locked by an indica is better as they feel more relaxed or impaired. However, there are some users of marijuana that believe a cerebral high from sativa allows them to still function while easing their anxiety.
Its important to know that both strains, indica and sativa, have different properties which can be utilised in different settings.
If you simply want to chill out on the lounge, binge watch TV, eat a shit ton of food and dose off, indica marijuana strains are probably for you. Some users that have anxiety report that indica really helps with taking the edge off from this condition. Sativa can do the same but it may depend on the person.
If your in a social setting where you wish to interact with others and be energetic yet creative, sativa cannabis strains may be for you. Sativa is a more mellow high that affects the head more than the body. Users say sativa can help them focus and produce creative ideas.
There is a hell of a lot more to it than this but if your still wondering whats better, ask yourself what you really want from marijuana strain.
Do you want to sit back and relax or do you want to focus, socialise and be creative?
If you want to max out, go for indica. If you want to functional and alert, go for sativa.
Out of sativa and indica, which is the best to grow?
Sativa weed strains grow quite tall and can produce more during harvest than an indica strain. Sativas grow well outdoors as they can reach peak height without spacial limitation. The buds will be airy and light and is preferred by users that don’t want to be too ‘high’.
Indica marijuana strains on the other hand are compact during its growth and flowering making it ideal for indoor grows. Indica produces denser buds making it desirable to sellers. As it seems from our experience, users of cannabis in Australia flock to dense buds. Those who want a heavy hit gravitates to the indica strain.

So what strain do I go for?
Well as we said earlier, its completely up to you and the setting your in. To still coordinate yourself properly while in the company of others, go for sativa. Sativa will give you a nice little head high and keep you on your toes. This is best if you don’t want to zonk out in front of your peers. If however your calling it a night, Indica is a great option. You will end getting sleepier the more you use indica. Its great for bed time and some say it gives you more of the munchies.
