Yes, This is why indica finishes faster. Indicas originate in colder regions typically far north. The growing season is much shorter in those place so the plants there naturally have to flower fast than ,say, plants in jamaica. Well the ones that don't flower early... die before they can reproduce so only the early flowering plants reproduce. Its more cause and effect and it happens over a long period of time. The plant basically evolves over a long period of time.
