Growing Cannabis Sativa
Cannabis Sativa is a strain that basically flowers over a prolonged time period and reduced output when compared to Cannabis Indica; also, the leaves are narrow and elongated. They are relatively taller compared to other plants and this is due to their proximity to the equator region. The region is characterized by lengthier summers.
One benefit of growing Cannabis Sativa is that the vegetative phase is relatively short. The plant can be altered in different ways and some varieties of the plant have shorter flowering phases. For regions where the temperatures are relatively high, Sativa is the best for such climates since it is able to endure such weather
