Top 10 Best Indica Cannabis Strains of 2024

Can't get enough of indica strains? If so, you're not alone! Many smokers and growers quickly fall in love with their powerful effects, compact morphology, and superb productivity. In fact, it's these very attributes that have contributed to their steady rise in popularity. Does this make them superior to sativa-dominant strains? Absolutely not! But they do offer a different growing experience, and their more discrete structure might be the perfect fit for your grow space.

Given their size, it's not unusual for growers to have several indica strains on the go, using the Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (ScrOG) techniques to create a beautifully even canopy. With these short, bushy cultivars, maximising light exposure is crucial. But put in the work, and the returns are significant. Plus, indica strains are notorious for having shorter flowering periods, meaning you won't have to wait as long to harvest those thick, juicy buds.

Even better, the effects of indicas aren't confined to couch lock and intense sedation. Thanks to their diverse terpene profiles and excellent cannabinoid content, you're sure to find a high that meets your every need. Uplifting and euphoric, or a mild buzz with plenty of physical stimulation? Indicas can do it all. Moreover, to assist you in your quest for quality, we've assembled a list of the ten best indica cultivars of 2024. Enjoy!

1. ICE

One of the most notable indica strains we carry is ICE. An acronym for Indica Crystal Extreme, it will seem as though your plants are covered in an icy frost once harvest rolls around. ICE matures its bountiful, sparkling buds in as little as 8 weeks of bloom, but many growers prefer to extend the phase to 10 weeks. ICE is a hybrid of Northern Lights, Afghan, and Skunk, a marriage that culminates in a spicy, earthy, and herbaceous aroma alongside a decadent high.
