Answer 1

So u know how there are like hundreds of different dog breeds? Weed is the same way. Each breed is classified as either a sativa, an indica, or a hybrid. They use whats called selective breeding to refine a strain prior to mass production.

Answer 2

Basically cross breeding different types of weed plants.

There is a really good explanation of this on Netflix, season 1 episode 12 of the “Explained” series
