If you’re into indicas, you don’t need to be lectured on the glorious plus points and possibilities that come with this specific sub-type of cannabis. If you’re more of a sativa person, that’s fair game. But if you’re someone yet to dabble in the indica-dominant arts, or you’re a sativa-savant that wants to mix it up, here’s a quick breakdown (or a link to a much better one if you’re so inclined).

The latter gives the old brainbox more of a stimulatory tickle, while the former tends to radiate through your body a bit more. While there are variations, exceptions and even flat-out detractors to this rule, the strains on this list are the cream-of-the-crop when it comes to the effects promised by indica-dominant strains, and we couldn’t recommend them more. Please note – the list is numbered, but not by ranking. Like good parents, we rate them all equally, and think they offer different exciting things.

1. Nova OG

Nova OG

Kicking it off with a site favourite, Anesia Seeds‘ Nova OG separates itself from the pack for a variety of reasons – chief among them being that mind-boggling potential THC content of 32%. And while it has powerful, relaxing body-lock effects, there’s also a significant amount of cerebral energising that goes on once you’ve partaken. With reported medicinal benefits for patients with tremors, PTSD, arthritis, muscle spasms and chronic pain, it’s a standout indica-dominant plant without question, but also a standout plant in general. Don’t miss out.

2. Alien Abduction

Alien Abduction

A popular beauty magicked up in the lab by the geniuses at Flavour Chasers, Alien Abduction offers cosmic highs through its powerful indica-dominant characteristics. Borne from a triple threat of galactic lineage (Alien Technology, Alien OG, Alien Dawg), it smells fantastic and promises an otherworldly high with its THC content of 20%. Chuck in the short flowering time, the mouthwatering taste and reported medicinal benefits and you’re onto an indica-laden winner.

3. King’s Kush

King’s Kush

Greenhouse Seeds are legendary for a reason, and every one of their strains are an auto-recommend. But if you’re specifically searching for that sweet, and unmistakeable indica buzz, it would be a fuck-up of royal proportions to overlook King’s Kush. With recorded indica proportions of 70%, its creeping, long-lasting immobilising effect is pronounced. But it still holds considerable mental effects in its back pocket, too. Very high THC, very high yield and with a medium flowering time make this an essential summertime purchase.

4. Blueberry Gelato

Emerald Triangle Seeds don’t play. Their name is as good a rubberstamp of quality as you’re likely to get in the world of cannabis, and their whole range is fire. But today we’re homing in on their exquisite and unmissable Blueberry Gelato, which we adore for many reasons. It has prime genetics, a solid flowering time, THC to make your head spin and body unwind, and a reported 0.2% CBD content profile, which will explain why it makes you feel so goddam chilled. A beauty amongst indica dominants, we suggest getting this one in time for summer – it’s bound to be a hit.

5. West Coast O.G. Auto

The term ‘O.G.’ is one that gets thrown around a lot, yet we’re happy to say that Fast Buds‘ West Coast O.G. Auto fully deserves its nametag, as well as a lock-in spot on our top indicas. A strain that needs no introduction, Fast Buds spin on the formula amplifies the potent effects, which are positively zen-inducing when it hits right. Taking just the right sprinkle of sativa characteristics into its smoke profile, this auto, along with many others on this list, has reported medicinal benefits too.

6. Strawberry Dogg Pound

Strawberry Dawg Pound

An absolutely scintillating mix between Strawberry Stardawg x London Poundcake x Kush Mints, the combination alone should be enough to get your tastebuds salivating. But there’s even more to be excited about. A short flowering time, beefy THC content and looks that could kill (we’re in love with the purple colouration) make this a must-grab.

7. Chemdog #4

ChemDawg #4

One of our all-time fav indica dominant strains, Chemdog #4 also happens to be one of Blimburn‘s best plants. Renowned for its surprisingly sativa-like high and possible medicinal properties, it has an engaging citrusy zing and flowers tremendously. That classic indica body high is still here too, don’t worry – and it’s an intense one. Enjoy!

8. Northern Light

Northern Light

Cannabis seed royalty – we don’t get to say that often – but there are a million other reasons you should take this indica beauty seriously. Apart from its decorated history, Northern Light from Royal Queen Seeds is the product of extensive, expert experimentation. And it shows. A quick flowerer that produces sparkly, resin-soaked buds, it has a knockout high that’s recommended to anyone, from beginner to pro.

9. Black Haze Auto

https://chosenseeds.com/product/black-haze/

An auto-flowering gem that is a genuine standout on visuals alone, this ostentatiously purple hybrid somehow manages to exceed expectations at every turn. Borrowing the cerebral high found in most sativas and mixing it with a nice physical buzz, this one deserves a place on the list for taste and aroma alone. There’s only one way to find out…

10. Green Gummy Auto

https://chosenseeds.com/product/green-gummy-auto/

Green Gummy Auto from the astronomically talented Exotic Seed company is a monster, plain and simple. A high-yielder with a high that yields a stunning smoke, it’s effect is physical and as a result extremely relaxing. Screw a glass of wine, this is the perfect post-work wind-down – you won’t regret having this ready to grab at a moment’s notice.
