Ingrid Strain Overview
A relative rarity, Ingrid is a cross between the original Royal Cheese strain from the United Kingdom and Hash Plant, both indica-dominant hybrids. It hits fast and delivers a pleasant, sleepy body high fueled by its indica genes. Though not a great daytime choice, this strain is just right for a night spent vegging in front of the TV.
The flowers look almost neon green, while the taste is sweet and pungent. Ingrid produces a strong, skunky odor. This strain is pretty much unheard of outside California, so good luck finding it. If you can, it may be useful in relieving insomnia, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and stomach problems.
The indica genes are dominant in this plant, but it’s unclear exactly how dominant they are; Royal Cheese has a 25:75 sativa/indica ratio, while Hash Plant has a 20:80 ratio. But there are few reliable figures on the relative proportion of these subspecies in Ingrid’s genes.

Ingrid is the “weigted blanket” of weed. It will wrap its ethereal arms around you and lull you into a calm relaxing sleep. It melts away stress and anxiety so that you can clear your mind and dream. Yes, Inrgid promotes dreams which help heal the mind and energize you for the next day. I tend to dream more and rememeber them better on nights that I have used Ingrid to help me sleep.

Ingrid is my favorite! Excellent for anxiety, which is a very real struggle for me. At Good Chemistry in Denver they keep it on hand at all times. Their growers have steadily increased the THC content from about 22% 6+ months ago to 31.62% currently. According to the “strain fingerprint” test data it has pretty high levels of myercene and linalool, which are both terpenes that are believed to have anxiolytic properties. I highly recommend it if you like heavy indica and/or are looking for anxiety relief.
