Indigo is a 100% indica cultivar born from the crossing of native North African landrace and Afghani landrace genetics. Its name suits the plant, with a dramatic purple complexion gracing dense, lumpy popcorn-sized buds. These nugs show a dark purple core threaded with long amber pistils and a shimmering coat of tiny lavender-tinted trichomes, and breaking them apart releases a complex scent blend of fresh herbs and earthy undertones with a floral lift.
On the palate, Indigo offers a sweet, spicy profile that evokes a fragrant herbal tea. The aroma and flavor weave together herbal, floral, and earthy notes, accented by spice and a whisper of wood, all carried by the plant’s purple charm. The overall experience feels natural and tea-like, inviting a contemplative and soothing sensory journey.
The effect unfolds slowly, building into a long-lasting lift that keeps the mind buoyant while relaxing the body. A mellow sense of happiness and ease tends to predominate, with a gentle sleepy edge and a touch of heightened appetite as it settles in. With roughly 10 to 12% THC and about 1 to 2% CBD, Indigo is commonly sought for relief from insomnia, chronic stress, depression, fatigue, and mood swings.
