cannabis cultivars

Cannabis cultivars are different varieties or strains of the plant, each bred for specific characteristics such as potency, flavor, aroma, growth traits, or effects. Think of them like different apple varieties—some are sweeter, others tart; some grow larger or ripen faster. In cannabis, cultivars can be broadly classified into two groups: indica, which tend to have relaxing effects, and sativa, which often produce more energetic sensations. Hybrid strains combine traits from both. Breeders develop cultivars to optimize desired qualities, making each strain unique in its chemical makeup, appearance, and effects.
