Do you want to grow the best weed strains for creativity? This article will help you navigate the different cannabis strains to find the one that works best for your creative niche.
If you are a new cannabis grower/consumer, you may not be aware that there are thousands of different strains, with varied effects and uses. They differ in numerous ways and can spark your creativity or put you to sleep depending on the type you choose.
Sometimes the name gives away what type of effect it has, for example, Haze or LSD will give you more energy than relaxation. You can find lots of strain information on our product pages at Dagga Seeds. But, why do these cannabis strains work in different ways? Let’s check out the science.
Indica or Sativa for Creativity?
There are three main types of Cannabis: Indicas, Sativas, and Hybrids. All strains are listed under one of these three types of marijuana. Sativa generally is the type to help your creative side with users experiencing a boost in energy, with uplifting and creative effects, generally for daytime consumption. Indica strains are known for their relaxation effect with users experiencing calming, sedative, and relaxing effects, and are typically consumed in the evening or at night. Different Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid cannabis strains will contain varying levels of CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids.
If you are here then you are probably interested in growing cannabis. This article may be useful for you to know about the specific strain traits. As you read above the type of cannabis will usually dictate whether it will boost creativity, but terpenes play an important role in the user experience with each strain.
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aroma-emitting organic compounds(phenols) produced by flowering cannabis plants. Each different cannabis strain can have its own unique terpenes, which influence its aroma, flavor, and effects. According to research by Judith Booth, and a professor at the University of British Columbia, Joerg Bohlmann, terpenes in cannabis have a so-called “entourage effect”. This effect includes the potential for the treatment of anxiety, depression, addiction, epilepsy, cancer, and infection treatment.
