Sativas are always energetic and Indicas are sleepers?

[Scaccia450]

I started smoking, in 1967.

Im in extreme northeast, Ky. We used to get a lot of weed, from Meigs County. My buddy, got the first Indica we ever saw, from William Keith "Noodles" Hayes. In 1972. My buddy was playing in a band, that opened for James Gang, in Charleston Wva, met Noodles there, and he invited my buddy, to his farm. Noodles also created Meigs County Gold, and Willie Nelson, was a frequent visitor.
We also got the first Skunk, from Noodles, in 1978, but buddy got ratted out, and lost it, and the Indica, in 1984.
My buddy passed 2 years ago, and would be 75 this year, and Noodles, would be 80.
Noodles passed in 2020, at St Marys Medical Center, in Huntigton Wva.
Noodles told my buddy, the Skunk, was a cross of Kerela, and an unnamed Indica.
Interesting he knew about Kerela, in 1978, and possessed the genetics. He had been collecting seeds, since the 60s.
Meigs, was known as the Humboldt County, of the East, in the 70s.

How to make the loud smell less loud?? Does rolling with blunts make it less loud and smell less potent?

I think the differences are more related to the way the plants were grown and ripened and dried, than whether or not it's an Indica or a Sativa. THC is THC regardless of which one it's from and the same goes for all the other cannabinoids. Yes, there are differences in the terpene profiles and the ratios among the cannabinoids....but those are all variable in both Sativa and Indica, too.

When I started smoking weed back in the 70's, most all of it was Sativa from Mexico. When it was a good batch, it typically sat you down and melted you into the couch. None of it made you feel "up" or "energized"....etc. That weed was also grown to the point that the buds were full of ripe seeds. That's what determined when to harvest -the seeds were ripe. So, that means that those Mexican Sativa were grown to full term and also allowed to produce seeds.

I, personally, believe that the whole "up" thing comes from underripe flowers....because when you smoke underripe weed, the "stoney" effects are minimized. So, you feel kinda high, but not really stoned. If that same Sativa was allowed to ripen more, then the effects would be much heavier.

The differences were hyped by the medical marijuana industry in an attempt to sell more products. I once had a flirty bud tender tell me stuff like, "Ohhhhh this one makes me SO horny!" LOL! "Oooohhh, I use this one to study."....etc.

I have to agree with that statement. I just finished a Columbian x Skunk strain, and flowered it two weeks past the milky trichome stage. It was pretty much amber all around. I was ripening seeds and needed to wait a little longer until they "browned".
Two weeks before, I tried a sample bud of that Columbian cross and it was an uplifting, kind of trippy high.
Now, the "fully ripe" buds are dried and cured. The smoke knocks you on your ass and sits you down! Even the flavor kind of changed.

I've been struggling with differences between indica and sativa as well. I'm 62 years old and have been smoking for over 45 years. I've grown for about 28 of those years, even in the 90s when we only got cuts from other growers or seeds from Holland.

As mentioned above, most strains nowadays are all hybrids. The genetics are bread for high THC, and terpene profile is a secondary consideration.

I've been chasing landraces for years, trying to use simple, two-way crosses, or pure land race strains. Ace Seeds does pretty good with some of these. Sensi seeds sells some classic, beautiful skunks, and sativas. Coastal seeds used to do some as well. Right now, I'm growing strains from the 80s and 90s and two land race strains.

these convoluted genetics these days are crazy! Look at seed finder and try to follow all those branches! People find a rare phenotype in a batch of seeds, breed it, add to its already fucked up genetics, and think they are making another great strain! Most are just, "one offs" rare phenos that showed a different expression.

I have gotten VERY high, smoking 17% THC, weed, as much as 26% weed!
I think a lot of the individual characteristics of indica/sativa, have been muddled together.

I believe terpenes have a MUCH greater impact on the "buzz" than people realize.

Your hundred percent right on that. There actually going to put turpines and all other cannabinoids on labels now that there learning more. I've had indica that gives me energy. So definitely needs update on this topic. Like pinene is for different symptoms like say depression and if you see that on label you can know what to expect and flavors pine. Seed banks need this info for their gear also. But generally sativa energy, indica more body feeling and sleep but everyone different.

sorry my english is bad . Today I try a strain hybird 14% cbd and zero % thc. I was told cbd does not get u high but I belive this a myth. because I did get high but it was verry deffrent more ceberal and rush and body tingly zero sedative. Vs thc will get you stoned eye droppy verry paranoid uplifting ephuoria ect. Also I can 100% confirm cbd cures and removes paranoia, so if you ever feel paranoid dooing a strain with 14% cbd and zero thc will work like magic.
