Pure Indica Feminized

For the novice grower, Indica-heavy strains offer a great many advantages. Pure Indica Fem is one of them – a smallish plant that can fit in almost any size grow space. It has one main cola, although it can grow a few sturdy lateral branches from which additional bud sites can emerge. The intermodal gaps are small, resulting in tightly-packed foliage. It is highly resistant to most bugs and diseases, and it grows fast and furious for an early harvest time.

This strain’s buds are not large compared to others, but they are very dense and aromatic. They are light green in color, extremely resinous, and emit the sweet and loamy bouquet that is the signature of Afghani Indica landraces. Because these nuggets, as well as the foliage, are so compact, the most important thing to watch out for is moisture-related diseases, especially bud rot. But as mentioned, this is not likely to occur unless the relative humidity (RH) is allowed to go higher than 70% in the vegetative stage and 50% during the flowering stage. 

As with all cannabis varietals, the best growing medium to enhance the terpene profile is organic soil. You may also use coco coir or hydroponics. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but this strain can readily adapt to any of them.

In the open air, Pure Indica Fem thrives in warm and sunny climates, although it is hardy enough to withstand cooler temperatures. Breezy conditions are advantageous because the continuous gas exchange boosts growth and the entire plant becomes stronger by growing extra tissues from resisting the wind. It also helps dissipate excess moisture.

That being said, you can lend your crop a hand if the growing area receives minimal air movement. Regularly prune the bottom leaves and the non-essential twigs to encourage better airflow. This also gives you the opportunity to inspect the plant and stop pathogens in their tracks as soon as you see them. If everything goes well, each shrub yields 200 to 300 grams (7 to 11 ounces) of smokable pot.

Based on the name alone, you can already predict Pure Indica’s recreational effects. From the first toke, it calms the mind and keeps you in a worry-free state for at least an hour. Some users report a hyperawareness of their surroundings. Colors are more vivid, and sounds are amplified. Even so, it will not make you nervous or jittery. The impact is more of a peaceful observation of the wondrous things around you.

Gradually, the effect on the body starts to manifest. A feeling of lethargy spreads from head to toe. The experience is not oppressive or heavy. Instead, your limbs and torso will feel light as feathers. At this point, it is up to you if you wish to revel in the euphoria or go to bed.

Because of this weed’s superb aroma and flavor, you might be tempted to take one drag after another in quick succession. Be warned that if you do so, it will knock you right out. This would be a pity since you will miss out on the extremely pleasurable experience.

There are other 100% or very close to 100% Indica seeds available at i49 if you want to bulk up your collection of ultra-relaxing weed. Some of them also have illustrious lineages and long histories. Hindu Kush Fem, for instance, originated from the wild mountain valleys of the Himalayas, extending from Afghanistan to Pakistan. This landrace strain has been in use for thousands of years, and its seeds are still popular due to the high 22 to 32% THC content.

Another favorite around the world is Northern Lights Fem. This 95% Indica delivers deep and blissful relaxation like no other, capturing the experience of gazing at the Aurora Borealis. The colorful buds carry the refreshing aroma of pine needles, the better to evoke the serenity of nature. With 18% THC inherited from its Afghani ancestor, it is the go-to strain for managing stress, pain, and anxiety.

Mazar Fem also has Afghan genes, with Skunk #1 thrown into the mix. It is known for its mildly skunky yet sweet and spicy aroma that is strangely alluring. This Indica-heavy hybrid has won numerous awards, including the top prize at the 2008 Cannabis Tipo Forte Fair in Bologna, Italy. Like its cousins, this plant only grows to a moderate height, maxing out at 180 cm (70 inches) outdoors, where it can produce up to 450 grams (16 ounces) of pungent weed.

Or, perhaps you wish to augment your stash with energizing Sativas. Batting for this side is Neville’s Haze Fem, a cross between Haze and Northern Lights #5. The resulting plant is almost pure Sativa and can stretch to a towering 4 meters (13 feet) in height. The flowering time is also quite lengthy at 10 to 14 weeks. Nevertheless, the generous 650 to 800-gram yield (23 to 28 ounces) of stimulating and motivating pot is worth the care you put into it.

For a balanced effect, though, go for Gorilla Glue Lemon Fem. The Sativa genes from Lemon Haze add a lively kick to the sleepy high of Gorilla Glue #4. The first toke is uplifting and energizing, and the giddy euphoria will make you believe that you can take on the world. But soon, a numbing sensation spreads from the neck down to the extremities, ultimately ending in couch-lock. The physical tranquility is complemented by a cheerful state of mind – a mash-up that makes this strain beloved by many enthusiasts.
