RQS's Top 10 Indica Strains

TOP 10 CANNABIS INDICA STRAINS

"At Royal Queen Seeds, we offer the Top 10 award-winning Cannabis Indica strains available to growers. Cannabis Indica plants are known for their short, bushy stature. Indica is known to produce a physical “body” high, great for relaxation and meditation.

Indica is often used in the treatment of anxiety, chronic pain and sleep disorders. Indica strains are also used to medically treat seizures, migraines and headaches, and to relieve stress. Indica strains can often be identified by their pungent or sweet aroma and strong, distinct flavours.

We have compiled a list of our customers' Top 10 favourite Indica strains.

1. ICE

The best and most notable Indica strain we carry is ICE. Though ICE would be an accurate description for this frosty, aromatic bud, the name of the strain is actually an acronym for Indica Crystal Extreme. ICE produces a bountiful, sparkling yield in as little as eight weeks, but many growers prefer to extend the grow to ten weeks. ICE is a hybrid of Northern Lights, Afghan and Skunk, and though this strain does not produce the highest yield, producing about 55 to 65 grams of product per plant, but the high and flavor more than make up for smaller harvests.

Harvest around eight weeks for a sweet, fruity flavour, or wait until ten weeks for a stonier high.

The sweetness of banana flavour can be appealing to many cannabis smokers. Breeding C. Banana with OG Kush has created the right combination in Fat Banana. This sticky green indica is called "fat" for a reason. Under 600W lights, it's been shown to yield between 350–400g/m². This comes within two months of flowering indoors. The result is a thick, generous plant with over 25% THC in its yellow-tinged buds. Enjoy an arresting couch-lock that only the best indica can deliver.
