Appearance

Ingrid typically displays a compact, indica-typical structure with broad leaves and a dense, bushy growth habit. Its flowers are characterized by tight, resinous buds that form rounded colas, often exhibiting forest green to olive coloration with orange or copper pistils. The plant is known for heavy trichome coverage, giving it a frosted appearance.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Ingrid is often described as earthy and herbal, with sweet undertones. Some phenotypes may present subtle cheese or skunk notes. On the palate, it is generally earthy and mildly sweet, featuring herbal and pine-like accents. The finish can include mild spice or a creamy, floral quality, with some variations offering a faint lactic tang.

Effects

Ingrid (CBD) is primarily recognized for its calming and potentially sedating effects, offering a moderated level of intoxication. The presence of CBD is intended to temper the intensity often associated with THC, leading to a smoother experience. This profile makes it suitable for relaxation and unwinding.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

While specific terpene profiles can vary, common terpenes associated with Ingrid include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Humulene. The CBD designation indicates that Ingrid (CBD) typically presents as either a balanced 1:1 THC:CBD ratio or a CBD-dominant chemotype (Type III), with THC levels generally ranging from 6-12% and CBD levels varying but often present in significant amounts, distinguishing it from high-THC versions where CBD is usually below 1%.

Growing

Ingrid exhibits an indica growth pattern, characterized by short to medium internodes and a stout, bushy frame. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, producing dense flower clusters. The plant is noted for sturdy lateral branches, and achieving optimal yield and light penetration may benefit from selective defoliation and training grids.

Origins & Lineage

The precise genetic lineage of Ingrid is not consistently documented in public sources, making specific parental line claims uncertain without breeder verification. It is recognized as an indica cultivar known for its relaxing properties. Ingrid (CBD) variants are typically developed either through selecting phenotypes with higher CBD expression within existing seed populations or by outcrossing an Ingrid cut with a CBD-rich donor strain, followed by backcrossing.
