Hybrid strains: a mix of indica and sativa
Hybrid strains are a cross between indica and sativa plants, and most weed sold today is a hybrid. The real question is which side a strain leans to, and by how much.
A balanced hybrid sits in the middle, so it does not push hard toward sleepy or toward wired. That makes it an easy first pick if you are new or buying for a friend.
Check which way it leans
A hybrid that leans indica feels more calm and heavy, while one that leans sativa feels more bright and awake. Look at the product page to see which way a strain leans.
Not sure what you like
Start with a balanced hybrid. The next time, try one that leans indica, and then one that leans sativa. You will soon learn which side suits you.
Good for sharing
Hybrids are the crowd pick, because they suit most people and most times of day. If you are sharing with a group, a balanced hybrid is the easy answer.
Common questions
What does indica-dominant hybrid mean?
It means the strain is mostly indica with some sativa mixed in. You can expect a mostly calm body feeling with a small lift in the head.
Are hybrids weaker than indica or sativa?
No, a hybrid can be just as strong. The word only tells you that the plant is a mix, and it says nothing about strength.
Do I earn points when I buy flower?
Yes. Every $1 you spend earns 1 point, and 100 points gets you $5 off, which is 5% back. You need a free account to collect points.
