It is always best to start low and go slow. STRAIN CLASSIFICATIONS Sativa strains are often used during the day as they are S reported to be uplifting and energizing. I Indica strains are often used at night as they reported to be calming and provide deep body relaxation. Hybrid strains are created when two or more strains are H crossbred.
