Marijuana Varieties For Closet Cultivation
Ranked #50,315 in Home & Garden, #815,013 overall
Varieties
Growers have been breeding and adapting marijuana to indoor growing since the late 60¨s.
Starting with equatorial and indica strains, breeders have produced faster growing more potent varieties. Although this work has been done informally, the net effect of having thousands of breeders working has been the equivalent of a national program to improve quality.
Since the opening of the marijuana seed companies in Holland, growers in the United States and Europe have easy access to many excellent varieties. With many of the varieties well adapted to closet cultivation.

Sativa or Indica
Marijuana varieties are frequently categorized as either sativa or indica. Indica plants tend to grow compact with heavy dense buds, relatively short stature and a minimum of wide branching.Sativas used to be gangly, with smaller buds. Now days they have been bred to grow smaller with heavier yields.When marijuana plants are forced early the new sativas and indica plants gain 25-100 percent height. However the older Sativas varieties, even when forced at a short height may continue to grow into a large size plant. This makes them unsuitable for growing in short height gardens.
The Modern Marijuana Plant
The breeders at the Dutch seed companies have popularized new strains especially bred for indoor growing. Many varieties are available which are high yielding, potent and compact. For most gardeners Dutch seeds are their first choice. While the price of these commercial seeds may seem costly at first, getting the best seed stock is the most inexpensive way to improve a garden.No matter how good the system or attentive the care of the plants, if they do not have the potential for massive good quality buds, they can never produce them. A seed does not just represent a single plant, but an entire genetic line. New plants are cloned by growers from plants or more seeds can be produced which carry this heritage.
