Hybrid

If indica and sativa are like ESPN and ESPN2, hybrid strains are The Ocho: anything goes! Growers mix and match chill-inducing indica and energy-producing sativa strains to achieve certain effects, which means there’s a vast range of cannabis experiences within the hybrid category.

Most flower on the market is some kind of hybrid, including legendary strains like Girl Scout Cookies, Gelato, Gorilla Glue and Pineapple Express. Keep an eye out for whether a hybrid is labeled sativa- or indica-dominant as an indicator for what its effects may be.
