Are you longing for a strain that lets you sink gently into the couch after a long day and ensures a restful night? Indica strains are the masters of physical relaxation, stress relief and sedative effects. They are the perfect choice for the evening to wind down and calm down.
We have selected the five best indica-dominant strains for you, which not only provide calming effects, but are also convincing in cultivation.
Here are the top 5 indica strains for ultimate deep relaxation:
1. northern lights
- Description: Perhaps the most famous Indica of all time! Northern Lights is a pure legend, known for her deep, body-focused relaxation and fast, reliable growth. It produces extremely resinous, sweet-spicy smelling buds that are ideal for relieving stress and pain.
- THC content: High, between 18-23%.
- Optimal light recipe: The reliable & steady one. This uncomplicated strain benefits from the active, stress-free approach that allows it to grow at its own pace and develop its lush, trichome-rich buds.
- Difficulty level: Beginner-friendly. Extremely robust, compact in growth and hardy. Perfect for the first grow.
2. granddaddy purple (GDP)
- Description: A real feast for the eyes! GDP is famous for her beautiful violet and purple hues that develop under cooler temperatures. Its aroma is an irresistible mix of sweet berries and grapes, followed by a heavy, full-bodied stone that effortlessly lulls you to sleep.
- THC content: High, between 20-25%.
- Optimal light recipe: The aroma master. The UVA light in this recipe can not only enhance the complex berry terpenes, but also promote the development of purple anthocyanins (color pigments).

3rd OG Kush

- Optimal light recipe: Balanced cultivation. This slightly more demanding strain benefits from the stability and predictability of this recipe to fully develop its complex effect and aromatic profile.
- Difficulty level: Medium. Can react somewhat sensitively to over-fertilization and mistakes. Experienced hands will be rewarded.
