Frequently Asked Questions
Is Apple Mints sativa or indica?
Apple Mints is a balanced hybrid strain, showcasing characteristics from both sativa and indica varieties. This means that it combines the best of both worlds: the uplifting and energizing effects typically associated with sativas and the relaxing, soothing benefits that indicas are known for.
