LOTUS GOLD - DURANT

There are thousands of strains of cannabis in the world, but they break down into three main categories:

Sativa

• A subspecies of cannabis reaching heights of 15-25 feet with thinner, finger-like leaves.
• Flowers in 10-16 weeks with elongated colas but lower yield.
• There is no difference in effect between a Sativa and an Indica plant. A Sativa can possess a cannabinoid and terpene profile indistinguishable in taste, smell, and appearance to India also.

Indica

• A subspecies of cannabis reaching heights of 3-6 feet with broad, bushy leaves.
• These supposed attributes have nothing to do with the Indica subspecies, but you may still hear people describing India as a sedative anyway. Dispelling a myth takes time.

  Ruderalis

  • It typically sits between 1 and 2.5 feet tall at harvest.
  • Of the three main cannabis subspecies, cannabis ruderalis is shorter and stalkier.
  • A wild and hard plant native to central and eastern Europe. Botanists gave the classification “ruderalis” for the breeds of the wild hemp plants that had adapted to extreme climates.
  • Ruderalis typically contains a low amount of THC in comparison to the two other cannabis subspecies.

  Hybrid

  • A variety of cannabis is created from two separate cannabis subspecies (i.e. Indica, ruderalis, Sativa).
  • Hybrid morphologies incorporate a large spectrum of different heights, shapes, and effects depending on lineage and growing/harvesting processes.
  • Flowering time varies with predominantly high yields.
  • Hybrid cultivars may be used at different times of the day depending on the cultivar and the consumer.
