But you'll find indicas almost always have better resin production than sativas - because they're smaller they can focus more energy on large buds and extra resin - but because sativas are so big [mine have got over 6 foot before inside - i chopped in half and it still kept growing so i just kept cutting it to keep it under control] they have to use energy to keep the plant alive - so less gets used for resin production.

But even low % sativas have a strong high.
I dont think it has to with plant hight. Sativas have different metabolism than indicas. They may be bigger, but they use energy differently. Saying that sativas use more energy in veg so they lack in potency during flower coz they are huge is just wrong. Sure they need more light, careful feeding and patience. Sure sativas have less medicinal use and im pretty sure they can scare noobs away. But who said sativas are for unexperienced smokers?
