Indica

[Dogg700447]

This is going out to all the experienced growers...

What is your favorite indica/indica dominant strain? I'm planning on starting a grow indoors next spring and I am planning on growing an indica dominant strain. I just need help choosing which one in terms of vitality, yield, looks, smell, stuff like that. So growers, what's the best indica you've ever grown? Also please include what seed bank they were purchased from.

Thanks in advance

LUI is a good strong smelly weed.
I'll pm you a link...

I say M-39. Why? Cause It's easy, harty and 39 days to a finished product. Very leafy plant outdoors, can reach 6-7 feet. Indoors, take the head off.

NL is a great choice for sure.



i've still got to try the herijuana

west coast kush is obviously a favorite for folks to smoke, but it's reputedly a little frustrating to grow it.

nirvanas misty is a great choice for beginners, its also a really great smoke.

mazar is good..... super afghan not as good, don't like northern lights as much, afghani #1 by sensi seems as good can't say yet... , early girl is nice for outdoor ... not as good as mazar though .... that's the only good i know but i've read reviews and there isn't really one that competes in my mind for what ur looking for a good nice indica with a good buzz... i don't like when they seem off from the mainstream for example orangy flavor is not my thing. mazar is strong, seems like the real thing mainstream, pure indica, looks beautiful and uncompeted against and has a beautiful fantastic wonderful high......... to me the choice is simple, stuff like g13 i've seen the tight nug domestic knockoffs of it.... it didn't make me that excited and it was not as good a high and the yields are less.... mazar is truly beautiful plant ... with beautiful rock hard nugs..... just amazing gorgeous for me...... northern lights high is not my thing it just sort of zones u out of the world... this high is fantastic i can't explain it but there's no other like it... you'll go to the 6th floor instead of the 4th and wonder what the hell..... etc.. you'll forget where u are... you'll break out in laughter.......it's truly truly fantastic and unparalleled and uncompetitive ..... so that's my suggestion www.dutchpassion.nl i got it in the breeders pack

My personal favorite indica at the moment is the Himalaya Gold

There is something special about the way the Himalaya Gold grows. It is a mighty plant, a true indica with a great development pattern that makes it stronger and taller than most other indicas. The leaves are big and round, with thick wide overlapping leaflets. The leaf dents are almost rounded. The internodes can stretch as far apart as 12 cm; the branches grow at a 25-35 degrees angle, and after 2 weeks they tend to reach the same height as the main cola. The result is a massive plant, mighty and beautiful. But the mightiest part of the Himalaya Gold is the buds; massive cylinder-shaped flowers, with close calyx formations that give a rock hard touch and an amazing density to every bud. It is considered the best outdoor plant in the Green House Seed Company collection, and it is one of the biggest producers as well.
The Himalaya Gold comes from a Nepalese plant that Arjan crossed with a Northern Indian special father, obtaining a very special indica cross. The strain was stabilized in the early nineties and introduced in the market in 1995, becoming very popular especially between outdoor growers and mountain growers. This is due to one of the most peculiar characteristics of the Himalaya Gold, its resistance to cold nights and its adaptability to big day/night temperature gaps.
The plant can be grown indoor with great results but it is advisable to keep the 18 hrs. period very short (7-14 days) to avoid going over the 150 cm. at the end of the crop.
In soil, the Himalaya Gold performs at its best with a starting pH of 5.8 and a starting EC of 1.3. During the flowering the pH should be raised at 6.2 and the EC at 1.5-1.6 for optimal flower development. If the plants are allowed maximum root development (in open soil) they will reach an average of 200-220 cm. at harvest. Extra phosphor and potassium should be added from the third week of flowering to prevent deficiencies.
In hydro systems the plants will produce buds so heavy that it is necessary to use yo-yos or other branch-support systems. The pH should start at 5.5 and slowly be raised to 5.8, while the EC should start at 1.4 reaching 2.0 at the peak of flower production. Flushing every 7-10 days with a light solution (pH 5.5 and EC 1.0) is the best way to keep salt buildup under control. It is recommended to keep extra distance between plants as they need 20-30% more space than average indicas. Splitting the top of the branches at the second week on 18 hrs can help contain the height of the plants. Some of the lower fan leaves and lateral sub-branches can be pruned as well to reduce the overall size of the plants.
The amazing productivity of the Himalaya Gold reaches 800-1000 grams per square meter outdoor, while indoor it can harvest up to 600-800 grams per square meter. This makes it a great commercial plant, with a unique strong body-high and a very chocolate-like indica smell. The taste is sweet with notes of licorice and dark chocolate. It is one of the three-puffs-will-do-it types of indicas, with its “fast to act and slow to leave” effect. The Himalaya Gold has a good resistance to pests and is a very strong plant; a dream come true for all outdoor growers or big buds lovers.
