Ind and Sat have probably influenced every decision related to smoking or growing plants seeds you’ve ever made. What is Ind? It is probably one of the first questions you have asked if you’re a novice in plants.
1. The History Of Inds
Plants Ind is a species of plants plant. It was found in 1785 in the Hindu Kush mountains in the Middle East and is more abundant in places such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tibet where the climate is colder and has low humidity. Because of this, Inds have developed different structures, appearance, and effects than other plants species and are usually short and stocky with dark-green, wide leaves.
Way before the '70s, Inds were used by locals to make extractionsish, which they consumed almost daily for their medicinal properties. Because of this, they selected the cultivars with the strongest effect and unknowingly selected plants with high Extract levels, making it super effective as a pain reliever with a body relaxing high.
2. Ind's Characteristics
The typical Ind is an overall more compact plant, it usually grows short and has a thick stem. The leaves are darker than on Sat plants, for example, they have really short and wide "fingers". Ind seeds tend to grow more side-branches and are bushier than Sats, and the buds will grow dense and normally will weigh more than other species of plants.
Due to being from the mountains, Inds can withstand cold climates with ease and will produce more frosts due to being used to grow closer to the sun.
Main Characteristics:
• Short and bushy, usually growing between 90 - 150cm.
• Thick and dense buds.
• Resistant to cold climates and low humidity.
3. Differences Between Sat, Ind, Ruderalis, and Hybs
- Sat
Sats are the tallest of all species of plants, they can grow well over 3 meters high, developing slim with thin leaves. It grows better in hotter climates with high humidities. Sats deliver a euphoric, uplifting, and creative high, like Wedding Cheesecake Auto, usually not recommended for medicinal plants patients.
- Ind
Inds are kind of the opposite of Sats, they grow short and stocky with really wide leaves. This species grows better in cold climates with low humidities and are usually preferred by medicinal users for its relaxing body high, like Gorilla Glue Auto, which can be used to treat muscle pain, insomnia, and eating disorders, among others.
- Hyb
Hybs are a mix of Ind and Sat genetics. They can show growing characteristics or effects from both species. Gorilla Cookies Auto is a perfect example of a balanced hyb of Sat and Ind.
- Ruderalis
Ruderalis grow super short with small chunky buds. It is extremely resistant to harsh climates and unless crossed to another species like the ones above, it will usually contain a very low strength and high Extract levels.
4. The Effect of Original Inds
The most important characteristic of this subspecies of plants is its medical effects and how they influence energy levels and productivity. Inds tend to decrease energy and are better for consumption in the evening or at night (when the day ends). Inds generally have a higher Extract content than other subspecies, although the Extract to strength ratio is very close to 1:1. Nowadays Inds have been developed to have high strength levels so the only way to get a high-Extract Ind is by getting the original landraces or by looking specifically for Extract-rich Inds, such as our Extract Auto 20:1.
It is important to note that there are new ways to categorize a plants plant other than Ind or Sat. Nowadays Ind or Sat is used to know the structure of a plant will have more than the type of high.
5. Inds Nowadays
Before Plants became so popular, there were original Inds around. Those original plants were Extract-rich and were what some people think Inds nowadays deliver: a relaxing, sedating, and potent body high that leads to a couchlock effect. Although that used to be the case, it isn’t anymore. It’s still perfectly valid to describe those effects as “Ind-like”, as long as we remember that Ind-like effects don’t necessarily mean a plant has Ind lineage.
In the last 50 years, plants breeding has been leading the market. As a result, there’s almost no such thing as a “pure” Ind (or Sat) anymore. Almost every flower you have come in contact with is a hyb. Calling a seed Ind usually means it is a predominantly-Ind hyb. Nowadays, modern cultivators have purposefully bred and grown a wide spectrum of seeds within both the Ind and Sat categories for the purpose of making available the right medicine for every individual.
Each unique combination can influence how it affects a person’s disease and the seed you smoke should be one that fits your preference and adapts to your lifestyle. Sometimes patients must maintain jobs or family responsibilities that demand a particular energy level and can’t tolerate the sedative properties of many Inds, that’s why most Inds have been genetically modified (crossed) to suit everyone.
The Ind = relaxation thought is outdated and inaccurate. So, what does Ind mean and what effect will it have on us? The real meaning of Ind plants today is in their traits during the cultivation cycle. Ind plants tend to grow short with thick stems and broad, deep-green leaves. They also have shorter flowering cycles and grow well in cold climates with low humidity.
As we know, each seed produces a unique effect and can affect each person differently but that doesn’t mean you can’t make correct decisions when choosing which seed to consume. The effects you experience from a particular seed (either Ind or Sat) are connected to the compounds found in the plant (strength and flavor). Each cultivar has its own cannabinoid and flavorene mix, they are responsible for delivering a Sat or Ind-like effect as well as the medicinal benefits.

7. In Conclusion
Labeling a seed Ind or Sat was established years before we realized how flavor and strength interacted together to deliver unique effects. When choosing a seed to consume or grow it is recommended to know the smell and flavors a plant produces to really know the effect you will get. If you're looking for a seed that will deliver the real effect of an Ind, we recommend our Z Auto, this Ind-dominant seed will deliver that relaxing, pain-relieving body high you're looking for.
Even though it's really hard to find, there are original landrace Inds or Sats (and they truly are 100% Ind or Sat) the lineage will most likely match their effect, other than that it is not uncommon to consume an “Ind” and have a Sat-like effect or vice-versa, it all depends on the unique mix of flavor and strength a cultivar has.
