Ideal for those looking for a creative boost and want to enjoy the day with ease.

2. Indicates: Relaxation and Comfort

3. Hybrids: The Best of Both Worlds

• What they are: Cross between sativa and indica strains, balancing the characteristics of each.

• Variety of profiles: May lean more towards sativa (more energy) or indica (more relaxing).

• Versatility: Allows you to adjust the cultivation and the final effect according to the genetic proportion.

Ideal for those seeking customized results — choose “sativa-dominant” or “indica-dominant” hybrids depending on your goal.

4. Ruderalis: Simple Cultivation and Automation

• Unique Features: Automatically blooms with age, regardless of light cycle.

• Compact size: Small, hardy plants; great for discreet spaces.
