Indica often is used to treat chronic pain, sleep disorders, and anxiety. Additionally, the strains are utilized to medically treat headaches, migraines, and seizures, and to alleviate stress. Oftentimes, Indica strains identify by their sweet or pungent aroma and distinct, strong flavors. We’ve put together a list of the top 3 Indica strains.
ICE
The most notable and best Indica strain is ICE. Although ICE is a description for the aromatic, frosty bud, the strain’s name actually stands for Indica Crystal Extreme. It generates a sparkling, bountiful yield within around 2 months; however, most growers enjoy extending to 10 weeks. ICE includes a hybrid of Skunk, Afghan, and Northern Lights, and although the strain doesn’t generate the greatest yield, generating around 55g – 65g of product/plant, yet the flavor and high make up for its smaller harvests.
Northern Lights
Around the world, it’s a favorite of growers and connoisseurs. Although its exact genetics isn’t known, specialists think the strain includes the results of hybridization of eleven varieties. Present strains of Northern Lights will remain Indica dominant, with a couch lock, heady, high and a distinct, smooth flavor.
Blue Mystic
It came about from a collaboration between Oregon and California strains. This bushy plant is able to grow up to one meter tall, yet we recommend pinching or topping the plant, and cutting like a bonsai for a maximized yield. You can harvest about 2 months for a fruity, sweet flavor, or wait until 10 weeks for a stonier high.
