He grew both. Our native Sativa is better for producing hemp, but Indica is more potent. That's why he kept the Indica at Do. He didn't want cross pollination. That would lessen the potency of the Indica.

The British controlled the Indica source so Indica was only available through authorized British dealers, and they would not provide seed. That's why Thomas Jefferson smuggled Indica seeds from China.
