Different Kinds Of Cannabis Flower

April 5, 2021

Cannabis flower can be consumed through vaporization (i.e., via a bong or pipe) or inhalation (i.e., smoking a blunt or joint). Many people use this form of marijuana for either medicinal or recreational use. Weed flowers are typically green, little, and grow in bunches known as “clusters.” A cannabis flower’s anatomy also has five main components:

  • Trichomes: hairlike growths that appear on cannabis buds
  • Bracts: the reproductive parts of a female cannabis plant
  • Calyx: a series of small leaves that coil at the flower’s stem
  • Leaflets: leaflike parts of a flower that are also called “sugar leaves”
  • Stigma (or Pistil): a structure covered in resin that captures pollen for the fertilization process

Cannabis Flower: Effects & Storage Method

The precise effects of cannabis flower vary depending on the consumer, the quantity inhaled, and the strain. Also, not every person has the same tolerance level. Thus, it is often recommended that new users begin with the smallest dose available. However, the full results of marijuana flower generally set in after approximately 30 minutes to one hour and decrease as time goes on.

Cannabis flowers should also be stored carefully in order to prevent decay. Airtight (hermetically sealed) containers are ideal for storing this form of marijuana.

Different Kinds Of Cannabis Flower

There are three primary varieties of cannabis flowers: Indica, Sativa, and hybrid. Each of these strains satisfies unique necessities, produces different results, and thus carries specific advantages. Here is a close look at these three types of cannabis flowers.

Indica

Indica cannabis, which you can cultivate indoors and can grow up to 6 feet in height, is characterized by low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels. It has a short flowering period and is ideally grown in regions with short winters.

Indica also offers a greater sense of relaxation. This strain is thus an excellent choice for alleviating stress and pain and can also help relax your muscles. You can also use Indica, which lowers nausea and increases appetite, to help you sleep.

Sativa

Sativa cannabis typically contains higher amounts of THC than Indica and other strains. Its yields are lower than those of Indica, its leaves are noticeably thin and long, and it grows close to the equator. Sativas also flourish better in higher temperatures.

Sativa leads to higher brain activity (including creativity), which means you may become more talkative than usual. Sativa is the perfect choice for people who frequently experience social anxiety or for individuals with depression, ADHD, or mood disorders.

Hybrid

If you wish to feel a combination of relaxation and energy, hybrid cannabis strains are the perfect solution. As their name suggests, hybrids often possess a blend of the qualities of both Indicas and Sativas. This means that many hybrids can help you relax. Additionally, hybrids have great resistance to pests and normally have high yields. Hybrids also do not have a unique leaf shape, height, or other features due to the wide variety of genes found in these flowers. The flowering period for hybrid strains often lasts between 6 and 10 weeks.

Other Types Of Cannabis Plants

Cannabis Ruderalis

Cannabis Ruderalis is a notably short type of marijuana plant, as it is only between 20 and 25 inches tall. Like Indica, Ruderalis is characterized by thick foliage. Cannabis Ruderalis is not as widely known as other weed strains because it is not extremely psychotropic.

Industrial Hemp

Industrial hemp is a subcategory of Sativa cannabis and is grown exclusively for industrial purposes. It may be transformed into several different types of commercial items, such as textiles, paper, paint, and biofuel. Hemp products typically have low THC levels (under 0.3%).
