What is the California Indica strain?
California Indica is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chocolate and citrus flavor profile.
California Indica is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (65% indica/35% sativa) created by the renowned Dutch seed company Sensi Seeds. California Indica, also known as "Cali Indica" or simply "California," is a slightly indica dominant hybrid strain (65% indica/35% sativa) created through a cross of the classic Afghani X California Orange Bud strains. The strain was developed by crossing an outstanding strain of California Orange Bud with a top-notch Afghani hash-plant, specifically utilizing Hash Plant NL x Orange Skunk genetics. This breeding resulted in a strain that combines the sweet citrus characteristics of California Orange Bud with the resinous, fast-flowering traits of Afghan genetics. The strain represents a successful effort to maintain the distinctive orange-citrus aromatics of classic California Orange Bud while adding the compact structure, heavy resin production, and shorter flowering time characteristic of indica-dominant Afghan varieties. California Indica has become a staple in the cannabis community, particularly valued for its reliable genetics, consistent effects, and exceptional resin production that makes it ideal for hash making.
