Top 10 Best Indica Strains For 2020

We've been listening to the community and decided to change the style of these posts slightly. We hope you find more value in them and can learn more from your fellow growmies this way! If you're a fan of Indica strains, then this article is for you.

Eleven Roses - Delicious Seeds

Eleven Roses - Delicious Seeds

Eleven roses has won countless awards for its deliciousness and exceptional quality. This 100% pure Indica is the result of crossing Sugar Black Rose with Appalachian Kush, both of which pose spectacular traits for those who enjoy potent, high yielding, fast flowering genetics.

As far as growing Eleven Roses goes, GrowDiaries has seen mixed results. Hydroponics and LST/HST worked extremely well in this case, delivering roughly 163g per plant of dry weight. Other growers have experienced slightly less, but still with very decent harvests of frosty, flavourful flowers.

Black D.O.G - Humboldt Seeds

Black DOG - Humboldt Seeds

This is a top quality Indica dominant genetic with a hardy nature. Black D.O.G suits those looking for easy to grow plants filled with flavour and aroma. With a short flowering time of just 48-55 days, Black D.O.G can deliver tasty harvests that will keep any grower happy.

Black D.O.G handles training well and can increase yields with the right guidance. Check out this grower's diary to see how main-lining, topping and defoliation helped produce around 125 grams per plant. Reported 'heavy smoke, great for night time' with smells of 'berries, grapes and fuel'.

Black Cherry Punch - Pyramid Seeds

Black Cherry Punch - Pyramid Seeds

As mostly Indica strain, Black Cherry Punch is definitely a top purple cultivar worth talking about. It may be on the longer side in flowering for an Indica, but the patience pays off with a lovely display of bud that spills over with mouth-watering, fruity terpenes.

Effects have been described as 'powerful' and 'relaxing', making it a great choice for a bed time cap. Follow Trueorganic84's grow diary to see how Black Cherry Punch develops in home-made soil under LEDs using only water. Looks to be an interesting grow. Good luck!

Chemdawg Auto - Fast Buds

As far as autoflowering strains go, this Chemdawg variety from Fast Buds makes for a pleasant experience, both in the grow room and after drying and curing. Chemdawg Auto grows vigorously and is an ideal strain for Indica fans looking for an easy entry into cannabis cultivation.

Original Auto Chemdawg delivers a 'strong buzz' with a sweet, fruity smell and has growers satisfied across the board. Handles training techniques such as LST, allowing it to grow shorter and bushier. Otherwise, this autoflower can grow quite tall, as seen in Lady_NugWitch's diary, seen below. Even with topping, the plants stretched heavily and left nice yields.

Runtz Muffin - Barney's Farm

Runtz Muffin is a mindblowing cross between Zkittlez , Gelato #33 and Orange Punch to create a powerful, 70% Indica strain. This gave this strain a luscious sea of ​​fruity flavors, buds literally dripping with an intoxicating syrup that pushes the needle to a wondrous 29% THC. Feel like a kid in the candy store and discover the delicious and unique aromas - often there are tasty hints of orange marzipan that develop during late bloom.

Outdoors, heights of up to 2 meters can be expected, while this delicacy will grow to around 110-120cm indoors after a 4-week growth period.

Bubba's Gift - Humboldt Seeds

Here we present another wonderful strain from Humboldt Seeds. This Indica cross between Bubba Kush and God's Gift produces dark green and purple plants oozing with sticky goodness. Vegetation may be slower than usual, but the flowering times are quick, at around 8 weeks.

Expect dense buds full of trichomes with a sweet 'orange with herb undertones' smell. The plant does not grow huge, but does well with techniques such as ScrOG and can deliver fair harvests under the right conditions. 309g/m2 was not bad at all by this grower, who won Diary Of The Month in November 2018 growing Bubba's Gift.

Grandaddy Confidential - Pheno Finder

Granddaddy Confidential - Pheno Finder

Grandaddy Confidential is a cross between LA Confidential and Grandaddy Purple, created by Pheno Finder Seeds. This seedbank has plenty of tasty strains to try out, but Grandaddy Confidential needs to be mentioned. If you love Indicas, then this bud is likely to go down well.

'I can't say enough good things about these genetics'

Although not as common as some of the other strains found being documented on GrowDiaries, Grandaddy Confidential shows great potential. Mongo28 was able to achieve a decent harvest of 145g from a single plant and is highly recommending the strain. She sure is a stinky lady.

Skywalker OG - Growers Choice

An indica-dominant hybrid, the force is truly high with Skywalker OG weed. This strain is a powerful tranquilizer, and with its good THC content (upwards of 19%) every uncomfortable symptom will yield to its euphoria-driven happiness and delicious couch-lock.

Skywalker OG marijuana seeds will thrive either indoors or out, but gardeners with intermediate experience in cannabis cultivation will be able to coax a much higher yield, around 600 grams per plant when grown outdoors after between 8 and 10 weeks of flowering.

Strawberry Pie Auto - Fast Buds

Strawberry Pie Auto - Fast Buds

Autoflowers have been gaining attention in much of the cultivation community, and that's thanks to seedbanks like Fast Buds. Strawberry Pie Auto is undoubtedly up there with some of the top autos currently being grown around the world. Super easy to grow, responds well to training and delivers large yields for an autoflowering variety.

There are plenty of diaries to follow to learn more about Strawberry Pie Auto, and growers are showing fantastic results with this juicy cultivar. Check out Litngrn's diary to find out about 'some of the stickiest bud you've ever seen in your life'.

Sweet Deep Grapefruit - Dinafem

Sweet Deep Grapefruit is an 80% Indica genetic from Dinafem that descends from Blueberry and Grapefruit. She grows like a classic Indica, developing a fairly bushy structure with short spacing between nodes. Under colder conditions, Sweet Deep Grapefruit may even show lovely purply colours.

Our final pick won 1st place in Diary Of The Month 2018, posted by Tryhard. This Sweet Deep Grapefruit plant was grown in soil without training under a 600w lamp and 'she grew like a dream from day one'.
