im thinking about growing a quick autoflowering crop before the season is over, but seeing as i live in New England, weather conditions are a concern for me. So, that being said, which would be more apt to survive indica or sativa?
As everyone else says - Indica. Been an indica man since I first grew. Sativa takes for ever - tried a sativa strain just the once, I was harvesting the Indica before the sativa began to flower. As I remember I gave up and ripped up the sativa, it was so wispy anyway.
I actually grew both last year. A short dark indica and a tall leggy light green sativa. Side by side 3 feet apart. The sativa was classic like a christmas tree and skinny leaves. The indica finished a month earlier and had fat dense clusters of buds, like balls concentrated on the nodes. The Sativa took till Mid October and was pretty much done, but I had to take it due to impending frost. The sativa buds were spread out between the internodes. I am smoking both now, and I like both. The sativa gives me head rushes, like I am gonna black out when I take big hits...I love that feeling but not when I am driving. The indica rivets me to the couch. Both are good, but for bag appeal and fatter nuggz as well as early harvesting, do the indica.
Well, if you got a green house you could do sativa. You wont have a lot of yield, but it can be done.
