Hindiana
Also known as: Hindiana Jones
Hindiana Strain Overview
Hindiana is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between Hindu Kush and Indiana Bubblegum. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from breeders seeking to combine the relaxing properties of a classic indica with the sweet, uplifting characteristics of a sativa-dominant hybrid. The name 'Hindiana' is a portmanteau of its parent strains, though some enthusiasts refer to it as 'Hindiana Jones' in reference to the adventurous effects some users report.
Visually, Hindiana typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans toward its Hindu Kush heritage. The flowers often display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the compact buds, which are typically covered in a generous coating of trichomes. The strain's appearance reflects its balanced genetic background, combining the tight bud structure of Hindu Kush with the slightly elongated formation inherited from Indiana Bubblegum.
Hindiana has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its well-rounded effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain represents an interesting case study in modern hybridization, demonstrating how breeders can combine geographically distant genetics (Hindu Kush originating from the Hindu Kush mountain range between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Indiana Bubblegum having American origins) to create novel cannabis varieties with distinctive characteristics.

Hindiana Strain Growing Information
Hindiana is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the flowering period and environmental conditions. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Hindiana benefits from techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds, though proper airflow and humidity control (ideally below 50% during flowering) are important to prevent bud rot. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting that the strain responds well to organic feeding regimens.
