Its foliage appears in shades of dark green. In some cases, the leaves may appear as shades of blue, or green-black. Indica plants are more sensible for indoor growing conditions. Their geographic origins are traced to the hash producing countries in the Middle East (Pakistan & Afghanistan). After flowering begins, Indica plants take between six and eight weeks to fully mature. Indica strains require both a growing and a flowering period in order to reach their full-size potential. The resulting buds will form in thick, bushy clusters, with aromas ranging from pungent skunk to sweet and fruity.
