how does it smoke?

i've a few times had what were sold to me as 'pure' indicas, and supposedly there's variation to the point where there's sleepy weed and anxiety weed that can come from (for example) afghan hashplant populations, but when i think of my ideal indica i think of medicinal relaxation (muscle relaxation and anxiolytic fx) and mood lift that can be utilized morning or night.

Yeah, in the end smoking is the best test, but looking at the cbd levels will tell you if it’s worth bothering to grow it before paying for the seeds and electric.

Only if you're talking 1:1, or 2:1 or ratios like that.

If I was looking for the purest Indica ,I would go to India and any true landrace would qualify. People have associated/subsituted broad leaf plants with indica for some reason

For me it's Hindu Kush types. That's what I go to when I want "indica". But I've mostly stopped calling plants Indica, or Sativa, and use the NLD/BLD nomenclature.

Man, I think you need to stop thinking about numbers all together. Focus on the effect, and find plants that give the effect you want. They are out there, I promise. But you're saying a lot of things, and I think maybe not quite from a firm position of knowledge. It feels like wish-casting to me.

There are some knowledgeable folks in this thread, who have tried to gently nudge you in the right direction. I think you would do well to listen a little more, rather than react based on feelings. Not trying to be a dick, I'm trying to help get you facing the right direction.

Until I started looking at numbers I just couldn’t understand why the weed wasn’t working for me anymore, I’ve got a pretty good idea now and it’s led me to some great plants that work for me and that I didn’t think I’d like, basically anything unrelated to skunk or hemp.
There’s something deleterious going on with those two impacting cannabinoid diversity.

The rise and fall of indica
The honour of formally proposing Cannabis indica as a
separate species goes to the French biologist Jean-
Baptiste Lamark. Although he became most famous for
the theory of evolution that bears his name, he was also
an accomplished taxonomist. In 1785 his Encyclopédie
méthodique; Botanique was published in which he
proposed a new species of cannabis he had identified
from samples that were sent to him from India. The
differences in shape of the leaves, stems and sexual
organs of these samples were the grounds for Lamark
to distinguish them as belonging to another species. His
entry for C. sativa is found under the heading Chanvre
cultivé (French: cultivated hemp), separating it as a
species from what he calls Chanvre des Indes, (Indian
cannabis or Cannabis indica) [6,7]. In this approach we
see the age old distinction between cultivated and wild
cannabis live on. Acting as a sort of ‘missing link’, the
new species neatly filled the gap that had existed in
European knowledge of hemp since at least the time of
Fuchs, caused by the absence of any wild population of
plants on the European continent.
The entry provides a description of the new species in
the form of a comparison with C. sativa. The indica
type is described as being smaller, having narrower
leaves that consistently alternate, and a firmer stem that
renders it unsuitable for the purpose of cultivating it for
fibre like C. sativa. Quite notable and important is that
this purely botanical description is followed by a de-
scription of the effects the plant produces when it is
consumed.

That's exactly what this is. Not narcotic, but relaxing, soothing, euphoric, healing vibes that feel like oxygenated blood returning to various areas of the body, wont keep you from sleeping but wont make you sleepy unless, you smoke it all day, you may want a nap. Great wake nbake weed with coffee.

Sounds more like he described the "indian hemp plant" (aka what most people refer to as Cannabis sativa). Did he actually refer to it as Cannabis indica? Because that is not my understanding. Truly there is only one species of Cannabis with no subspecies (just cultivars).

I would agree with one species because they will freely make offspring.Linnaeus dubbed it all sativa and Lamark made a subspecies indica and Janischevsky did ruderalis.

The description for the Baluchi I have was separated into four categories, stimulating, joyous, narcotic, and fear of impending doom.
The plants looked just like this purest indica, squat with leaves so fat they overlapped and then became thin during flowering. Probably they’ve always imported genetics and mixed them with the local plants, the effects were good but very weak.

The problem is, places like Pakistan were india back in those days, they were all the same country so, that probably a big reason as to why broad leafs are called indica or associated with indica, alot of these plants came from.what used to be known as india, and not simply the tropical regions that are "now" india, then the whole shultes taxanomic classificcation bs on top of that...
