Ingrid
Ingrid
Also known as: Ingrid™
Overview
Ingrid is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has garnered a devoted following among cannabis enthusiasts for its powerful relaxing effects and distinctive cheesy aroma. This strain is a cross between the notoriously pungent UK Cheese and the classic indica Hash Plant, resulting in a strain with genetics typically tested at 21-25% THC though some cultivators have achieved THC levels as high as 31.62%. The strain first gained attention at the 2011 High Times Cannabis Cup in San Francisco, where it was exclusively available through The Leonard Moore Co-op from Mendocino, California. While originally a lesser-known indica, Ingrid is growing in popularity as consumers discover this gem of a strain.
Visually, Ingrid is marked by thick, spade-shaped nuggets ranging from small to medium size with tight bud structure typical of indicas. The densely-packed leaves display a bright lime green color, with curly orange and brown pistils twisting through the vivid greenery and a heavy coating of translucent white trichomes that create a nearly neon green appearance. The strain's aroma is dominated by an almost fermented, cheesy odor from its UK Cheese heritage, undercut by mellow scents of damp earth and wood, with grinding revealing skunky, tangy notes.

Growing Information
This plant can be grown indoors or outdoors, but produces higher yields indoors with flowers appearing around 5 to 7 weeks. Outdoor cultivation requires a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. When grown indoors, plants typically reach heights under 30 cm with yields of 1-2 oz/ft², while outdoor yields are 2-4 oz/ft² with a flowering time of 6-7 weeks. The strain produces a uniquely pungent crop that may require odor-control measures like exhaust fans or carbon air filters for indoor operations. Humidity should be maintained at 40-50% during vegetative stage and 30-40% during flowering to prevent mold and mildew. The strain responds well to hydroponics and Sea of Green techniques.
