Ruderalis Indica
Also known as: Semi-Auto Indica, Ruderalis x Indica
Ruderalis Indica Strain Overview
Ruderalis Indica represents a unique category of cannabis hybrids that combine the hardy, autoflowering characteristics of Cannabis ruderalis with the relaxing properties of indica strains. The most notable example is Sensi Seeds' Ruderalis Indica, which was created by crossing psychoactive indica genetics from southern Europe with landrace ruderalis varieties from eastern regions of the continent. This semi-autoflowering strain exhibits a distinctive trait where approximately 50% of plants display autoflowering characteristics, beginning to flower based on age rather than light cycle changes, while the remaining 50% follow traditional photoperiod flowering patterns. The strain was developed to address the naturally low THC content of pure ruderalis while maintaining its valuable autoflowering genes and exceptional hardiness. These hybrids typically remain compact and small, rarely exceeding 70cm in height, making them ideal for discrete cultivation and harsh growing conditions. The plants demonstrate remarkable resilience to cold temperatures, harsh weather, and poor growing conditions, traits inherited from their ruderalis lineage which originated in Central and Eastern Europe and Russia.

Ruderalis Indica Strain Growing Information
Ruderalis Indica is exceptionally easy to grow and highly recommended for beginners. The strain exhibits remarkable hardiness and can tolerate cold temperatures, harsh weather conditions, and poor soil quality. Flowering time varies: autoflowering phenotypes complete their cycle in 10-12 weeks from seed, while photoperiod phenotypes have a flowering period of approximately 7 weeks. Indoor plants typically reach 60-75cm in height and can yield modest harvests. Outdoor cultivation is where this strain truly excels, thriving in climates that would challenge other cannabis varieties. The plants require minimal care and are forgiving of cultivation mistakes. Due to being regular (non-feminized) seeds, growers must identify and remove male plants during sexual maturation to prevent pollination of females.
