In your opinion:

Which autoflowering strain produces the purest Indica, i have terrible anxiety and i would rather do my research and ask a few questions than order a strain that will end up being a waste of time. My original idea was a Northern Lights Auto from Nirvana, but as i did more research some companies said there was some Sativa influence in the high. Other strains I've been looking at are Ruderalis Indica from Sensi Seeds, tundra , Auto Galaxy from Pyramid and Snow Storm. Anyways any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. I'm still waiting on my first grow of a White Rhino from green house seed co, which is still at least 4 weeks away from being finished.

Check out Sweet Seeds......they were one of the earliest companies producing auto's and I've read some very good reports on some of them.

hey man, im just starting out, but i'll share what i've learned from others. i think autos in general are pretty Indica dominant. you now get things like auto haze which are auto crosses of Sativas, but it has taken a lot of breeding to achieve.

some seed banks will tell you the genetics (e.g 80%indica, 10% Stiva 10& Ruderalis), but it seem there is now an auto version of most good strains, so try looking for a really good indica, then look for an auto cross.

Also, you can influence the high by when you harvest. if you wait until most of the trichomes have turned brown you get a higher ratio of CBD to THC, which leads to more of a 'stoned' efect than the sativa 'high'.

hope that helps.

yes both your replies have helped thx

Personally, there hasn't been one auto I've been totally happy with. I think they are generally a waste of time. Sure, they get done a bit earlier but I believe overall weight and quality suffers a bit from the original genetics. I never understood the attraction to them.........

Any true Kush is close.

My last autos finished in 71 days from germination to harvest and produced a little over 4oz of some very good weed.Afgan Ryder Kush

Every Autoflower plant will have some Sativa genes in it as Ruderalis is a type of Sativa.

Who was the breeder?

Why indica? In low doses it's good for depression, higher doses for pain relief.
Personally I have anxiety/rage/depression and sativa harvested milky does me good.

The laggy burnout narcotic feeling from heavy indica can bring your mood down cause its not elevating your mood(thc) as much as its decreasing sensation in your systems(CBd) that's just me though, depends on your personal genetics I guess.

And kush ftw indica

I think with some people the plant flowering without their help makes them attractive. A good friend had a greenhouse full. He guides trips all over. The things raise themselves with a little automation for water and feeds. But even he says the quality and yield suffer. A matter of convenience for him with our 20 hour days in summer.

Ya i know what you mean, i use to smoke habitually when i was in my teens and aftera few bad trips i quit for about 5 years, i just recently picked it back up and again the "high" caused me a bad trip (a very very very bad trip), after alot of research everyone has said indica is the only way to go for my type of condition. so I ordered a white rhino, which was a favoirte from back in the day that i only got to pick up once or twice, Green House Seed Co, claims their white rhino strain is 90I/10S. and from past threads someone told me to go no higher than 20%S. Im still waiting on the plant but hears hoping it was the right choice

I whole heartily agree.........the ones I've played with yielded like crap but they were "earlier" strains when auto's were just coming around. I think the breeders have been able to increase yields by breeding better. Just not my cup of tea, per se.
