KUSHINDICASEEDS

The name Cannabis indica was introduced in 1785 by the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who described plants collected in India as distinct from European hemp. Retailers advertising cannabis indica seeds for sale use the term more loosely today, applying it to short, broad-leaved varieties regardless of strict botanical classification. Botanists still debate whether indica is a separate species or a subspecies of Cannabis sativa. For growers, the label functions as a practical description of plant shape and growth habit.
