Strain Description:
 
California Indica is a balanced hybrid that masterfully combines the fruity, uplifting qualities of California Orange Bud with the potent resin production and sedative effects of Northern Lights #1 and Afghani Hash Plant. This unique blend results in a 65% Indica, 35% Sativa hybrid that offers a warm, relaxing body high complemented by a cerebral, uplifting buzz, making it perfect for both day and night use.
 
The plants are compact and bushy, reflecting their Indica dominance, with long, spear-like colas covered in dense, resin-rich buds. The flowering period is short, lasting just 7-8 weeks, allowing for rapid harvest cycles and high productivity. During flowering, the plants gain 100-150% in height, making them manageable for indoor setups while still producing impressive yields.
 
The buds are coated with sticky resin and exhibit vibrant orange pistils, giving them a striking appearance. After drying, the buds often appear more orange than green, reflecting their rich citrus heritage. The resin production is exceptional, making this strain perfect for concentrates and hash.
 
California Indica is known for its balanced effects, delivering a warm, relaxing body high that soothes the muscles and calms the mind, while the Sativa influence provides a cerebral, uplifting buzz that enhances creativity and sociability. This balanced high makes it suitable for both recreational and medicinal use, particularly for stress relief, anxiety, and chronic pain.
 
The aroma is sweet and citrusy, dominated by orange tones with subtle hashish undertones. The flavour is equally complex, offering a rich combination of bitter orange, sweet citrus, and earthy hash plant notes. Rare phenotypes may also express grapefruit and lime flavours, enhancing the overall sensory experience.
 
Growing Information:
 
California Indica is remarkably easy to grow, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced cultivators. Its compact, bushy structure is perfect for indoor cultivation, particularly under artificial light. The plants are resilient and naturally resistant to pests and mould, ensuring healthy growth with minimal effort.
 
The strain thrives in warm, continental climates and can be grown outdoors or in greenhouses. It is highly adaptable, performing well in most growing mediums, including soil, coco coir, and hydroponic systems.
 
With a short flowering period of just 7-8 weeks, California Indica allows for rapid harvest cycles, making it ideal for commercial growers. The dense, resin-rich buds form around the central cola and upper branches, ensuring high yields with minimal maintenance.
 
For maximum yield, advanced cultivation techniques such as Sea of Green (SOG), Screen of Green (SCROG), supercropping, and lollipopping can be employed. The strain is highly responsive to these methods, enhancing light exposure and airflow, which boosts bud production and resin content.
 
During flowering, the plants gain 100-150% in height but remain manageable for indoor setups. Outdoors, they can grow into small trees, producing massive yields, especially in warm, sunny climates.
 
California Indica is naturally discreet, emitting a subtle aroma during the growing and flowering stages. This makes it suitable for stealth growing or indoor cultivation with minimal odour control requirements.
 
Strain Flavour and Aromas:
 
California Indica offers a rich and complex flavour and aroma profile, reflecting its diverse genetic heritage. The aroma is sweet and citrusy, dominated by orange tones with subtle hashish undertones. As the plants mature, the citrus scent intensifies, creating an inviting and delightful bouquet.
 
The flavour is equally complex, offering a rich combination of bitter orange, sweet citrus, and earthy hash plant notes. The smoke is smooth and aromatic, leaving a lingering sweet and citrusy aftertaste that is both satisfying and refreshing.
 
Rare phenotypes may also express grapefruit and lime flavours, adding a unique twist to the overall sensory experience. The strain's complex flavour and aroma profile are perfect for vaporisers, as slow heating releases the aromatic, heat-sensitive terpenes.
 
The terpene profile is rich in Limonene, contributing to the citrusy brightness and uplifting effects, while Myrcene adds a calming, relaxing base. Caryophyllene provides the spicy, earthy notes, enhancing the overall complexity of the flavour.
 
Strain Lineage:
 
California Indica is the result of a masterful genetic blend, bringing together three legendary parent strains:
 
California Orange Bud: Known for its fruity, citrus aroma and uplifting Sativa effects, Orange Bud contributes the sweet orange flavour and cerebral buzz, enhancing the strain's balanced high.
 
Northern Lights #1: Enhances the strain's resin production, short flowering time, and potent Indica effects, ensuring a relaxing body high and robust growth.
 
Afghani Hash Plant: Introduces potent sedative effects, dense bud formation, and a rich hashish flavour, adding depth and complexity to the overall sensory experience.
 
This unique genetic combination produces a powerful hybrid that balances high yield, potent effects, and a rich flavour and aroma profile.
