How to tell if it's Sativa or not?

[Euphoric7]

Is there any reliable way to tell if weed is *mainly* Sativa? By mainly, I mean over 50% Sativa. I get bored of indica really fast, and I end up smoking it all because I expect a trippy, colourful Sativa high.

Thanks, as always!:thumbsup:

I've seen that link before making this thread. It doesn't talk about about sativa or indica, only about strains (and it got locked).

i just read through the thread and i see why it wasn't very helpful
i'm no expert man but sativa's usually have long, slender finger leafs and indica's usually have broader leafs

i suggest you check out some seedbanks, Nirvana.com for instance
there you can compare thier pics with your bud

I totally know how the plants look, I just don't know how to decide if the bud is Sativa or the sleeps. I'll check out that link; more suggestions welcome!

are you talking about a living plant or dried cure bud? if its living then the bud, leaf, and plant structure will help you easily identify the type. if you are refering to dried bud you are gonna have to smoke that shit!!! that might help, also i forget where i heard this but one is slightly more dense than the other. I dont know how to go about finding the volume and weight of the bud in a dealing situation but i hope that gives you a start

The indica (yep, buds) are more dense.

I heard from a freind that indicas are more compact and sativas are more fluffy....But I dunno if thats true,also I heard indica leaves are fuller as sativas are long and skinny.
Anyone can verify this for me as well?

if its dried jus smoke it an see a sativa wont put you to sleep an indica will or may do
indicas a heavier stoned an in my experience in growing the buds tend to be a bit denser an broader leaved shorter plants
sativas tend to be a bit more leaffy an fluffy but it does really depend on the growing factors, ive had sativa plants with solid buds before an indicas that are fluffy.
as the other post by stinkyattic says it is near impossible to tell strains indica or sativa is possible but still very difficult without smoking it, mainly due to the fact that each plant will tend to grow differently and a sativa bud may look indica due to the growing factors involved(light,nutes,soil etc)
id jus reccomend smoking it an if its a up head high its more sativa an if you get lazy an couchy then an indica
most commercial weed will be indica or a hybrid indica/sativa, as sativas generally take around 12 weeks too flower an its too long for most commercial growers, plus the yeild tends to be less in most sativa strains
if the palnt is tall with slender leaves it will probably be sativa if its shorter with darker broader leaves its probably a indica but there are no garuntees
