Cannabis will make either a large quantity of resin or a large quantity of fibers.THC is the most important chemical component present in this cannabis plant.

• Indica are generally more stout (2-4 feet tall) with a lower yield (1.5-2.5 oz). But unlike their cousin Sativa, Indica plants will produce much higher quality bud (18+ % THC content compared to their cousins who generally stay around 12-16%). Indica plants will also give you a couch-lock [body] high, where it is not best to be smoked before social events. A lot of popular flavored bud is Indica. Great for pain and nausea.

• Sativa plants are generally taller than Indica's (ranging from 4-12 feet outside) and have bigger yields compared to Indica plants (3.5+ oz per plant outside). Although the plant will produce more bud, the bud is generally not as high quality compared to Indica plants. Sativa cannabis will form a head high, for more social events (common among celebrities, especially musicians).

• Cannabis ruderalis is sister of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. Cannabis ruderalis is a relatively unknown variety of cannabis, which naturally occurs in the mountains of the Caucasus to Mongolia and China. It is likely that the Cannabis ruderalis originates in the south-east of Russia, after which it has quickly spread in the wild.
