With so many indica strains available, it can be tricky sifting through all the options. However, we're here to help. We've done all the hard work already, selecting five of the best indica strains on the market today. Each variety features something unique, but all are set to provide bountiful yields, mesmerising effects, and dynamic flavours. Sound too good to be true? Read on to see for yourself!
Getting to know Indica strains
Indica cannabis strains are stereotypically characterised by their short, squat stature, fast flowering times, and for inducing a stoned effect. In addition to this, they also tend to be hardy and resilient – dealing with cooler climates and shorter summers much better than their sativa cousins. This resilience is largely thanks to the arid and subtropical conditions landrace indica strains are found growing in, especially in mountainous regions where temperatures can fluctuate.
The combination of resilience, short stature and fast flowering times makes indica strains well suited to both indoor and outdoor growth. Indicas are also seen as a good starting point for both novice smokers and growers, as they tend to be fairly easy to grow, with the stoned effects being more manageable than the cerebral nature of a sativa.
As a side note, indica cannabis strains tend to produce a lot of resin, making them ideal for those wanting to make some hash!
