However they all belong to three main groups, Indicas, Sativas and Ruderalis.<br /><br />Indicas tend to be a heartier plant, they developed in central Asia between the 25th and 35th parallel. They are more forgiving and can withstand harsher climates better than most Sativas. They have a shorter flowering period, averaging 8 weeks. <br /><br />Sativas are found all over the world. They are a more temperamental variety, and are very sensitive to fertilizer as well as changes in temperature and humidity. Sativas have a longer flowering period and can take up to 14 weeks to fully mature.<br /><br />Ruderalis are a wild variety of auto-flowering marijuana that starts to produce flowers as soon as growth begins.
