Best indica/BLD available in seed form (potency and yield)

Looking for something with a knockout stone that you don't need to veg 2+ months to get a decent yield from. Reliable from seed (no pheno hunting).

GDP seems to be the go-to for many indica lovers. But it's a clone only variety. Ken Estes sells some "official" seeds but they are very expensive and I see mixed reviews online.

Medicine Man / White Rhino has a pretty good reputation.

Suggestions?

Wouldnt say im the BLD expert but i spend more time on here reading than most have the spare time to. I'd say just go with a MNS auction of medicine man, and since they are so cheap pick up some nordle and ortega... Maybe Nl5xAfghan too..... Another option would be something like Dosidos s1 from RealGorilla (I have some Ive been waiting to germ after I get all my hazes planted).. I'm more of a NLD type guy, but I do have anxiety that flares up with a lot of weed and haze maybe isnt the smartest choice but its what I like for intellectual stimulation.
The only other route to go would be maybe the slow growing stuff. Like a Bubba or Sourbubble bx..... La confidential.... Black lime reserve gets a lot of underground hype but way overpriced for any seed.... I

Yeah Bubba Kush is amazing but not a good yielder with a short veg in my experience. I suppose that's the problem with most of them... What I really want is something that does well with the same schedule as the NLD/hybrids.

Just the humidity preference alone wont really allow you to grow a BLD and NLd in the same spot... By week 8 when you should have 40% humidity the NLD stuff will just be starting to fill in and would prefer maybe 60% humidity.. Making a big difference in both thriving and keeping terpenes.

I definitely wanna hear others voice in on it, no matter how much i read. I still dont have the experience... I only recently had access to a dispensary, and some of you have 20 years of dispensary and name tags, knowing legit strains, etc......Its so hard to find a legit sativa in the dispensary i waste most of my time hunting for a legit sativa and havent had the spare to try indicas...

WTF does BLD mean? Almost everything available from seed is indica or an indica leaning hybrid. VerdantGreen has bubba S1’s and hybrids, so does CSI Humboldt.

GG4 and GMO hybrids are TKO… White Rhino, Herijuana, Master Kush. Most cookie hybrids are indica heavy with even less head than the aforementioned.

Basically find a reputable breeder and you have found a solid indica.

Also, learn to use the search function 🤙

Yeah, CSI is the one i was trying to think of.... Definitely a legit dude, doing big big sifts, and a true collector of bld from the forums and local shit in Cali.... His prices are shit but, not everyone is poor like me.

Also maybe he wants to have a conversation unique to his own, the search function comment is always douchey in most situations.

Some things that come to mind, dont really have personal growing experience with em, and not sure if any of these are more stubby/squat/slow growing than what you are looking for

Chem family? Top Dawg, Verdant Green hybrids come to mind

Black Domina?

Cataract Kush from a local dispensary is a good knockout

White Rhino or White Russian?

always been a bit curious about the TH Seeds Darkstar

zkittlez? I’ve got a cart that’s pretty sedative in effects

This PKB sure looks ballin: https://www.icmag.com/forum/marijua...ns-and-breeding/18028831-platinum-kush-breath

Broadleaf Drug.

IMO hybrids will be a better option. These will be super potent and yield buckets. Pure Indica won't yield well. Tend to stay small.

Lucky 13 out of BC has a pre '98 Bubba x LA Confidential called Angel '98...I havent grown it yet but its on its way. Actually they have alot of stuff that piques my interest. And the price and freebies make it a no brainer. Worth a look imo

strongest plant i have come across in the last few years was 'power Africa' from seedsman ......not really a broadleaf ............but grew very indica and exceptionally strong ..........strong narcotic highs dont appeal to me but sensi star and good ol northern lights are very strong .................the younger guys laugh at NL ..............until they try a good one .....then their believers

Black Domina?

Black Domina and Darkstar seem to be high yielding hybrids, but hybrids made entirely with indicas. These are exactly the kinds of suggestions I was hoping for!

If the breeders' marketing spiel is to be believed that is. Anyone grown them out? Preferably from recent seed stock.

Also "Original Sensible Seeds" has a cross of Black Domina and GDP called Grandaddy Black. Sounds great. Apparently it's a UK company working with American genetics out of Spain - very international (not always a great thing). Are they legit?

You guys are talking about strains that died years ago! You are not going to find fire in packs of black domina, sensi star, etc… unless you bought them a decade ago, if not more.

Bob Hemphill of Crickets & Cicada Seeds is re working and line breeding a lot of this BLD BS as we speak. Look him up. He is “The Librarian” and a old school indica head. :2cents:

I can't speak for a straight Black Domina, but I ran a Phantom Cookies (Cherry Pie x GDP) x Black Domina and wow it was a knockout. I can't remember the seed company I got them from,something like expert seeds or some other less-well known company, they were cheap too.

I'm currently running three re-releases of Deep Chunk and am pretty excited to see how they turn out. One of the three has some of the fattest fan leaves I've ever seen.
