Mood

Energizing, active daytime experience with terpenes like limonene and pinene dominating the aromatic profile. Sativas tend toward bright citrus, fuel, and floral notes.

Growth habit

Tall, stretchy plants with narrow fan leaves. Expect significant vertical stretch during the first few weeks of flower — plan for space or train early.

Best for

Outdoor grows with ample vertical room, experienced indoor growers who can manage height, or anyone after bold terpene-forward flavor profiles.

Mood

Dense, resinous flower with terpene profiles dominated by myrcene, linalool, and caryophyllene — earthy, herbal, and musky aromatic notes are common across indica-dominant varieties.

Growth habit

Short, bushy plants with wide fan leaves and dense internodal spacing. Less stretch at flower flip — easier to manage in a tent or confined space.

Best for

Indoor growers with limited vertical space, growers who prefer a shorter, faster grow cycle, and anyone after heavy resin production.

Mood

Balanced aromatic profiles — hybrids draw from both ends of the terpene spectrum, combining citrus, fuel, and floral notes from sativa genetics with the earthy, resinous character of indicas.

Growth habit

Medium height with moderate stretch at flower flip. Generally more manageable than pure sativas indoors while still producing generous yields. A good all-around structure for most grow setups.

Best for

Growers who want versatility — hybrids perform well indoors and out, respond well to training, and work across a wide range of climates and experience levels.

CBD
What is CBD flower?

CBD-dominant strains (Type 3) produce high cannabidiol content with minimal THC. They look, grow, and smell like cannabis but don't produce psychoactive effects. Popular for wellness applications and federally legal hemp production.

CBG
What is CBG flower?

CBG (cannabigerol) is sometimes called the "mother cannabinoid" — it's the precursor from which other cannabinoids develop. Type 4 strains like Crystal Vision are bred specifically for CBG production and have a unique mild, floral character.
