Indigo

Indigo refers to multiple unrelated cannabis cultivars. The most widely recognized version is a collaboration between Cresco and Purple City Genetics pairing Blue Limonene with Molotov Cocktail, while an older cultivar reportedly descends from North African and Afghani landrace stock.

Origin 1: Indica-leaning hybrid (Cresco and Purple City Genetics)

Bred in collaboration by Chicago’s Cresco and Oakland’s Purple City Genetics, the more recent and well-known Indigo strain is a cross of Blue Limonene and Molotov Cocktail. Easy to recognize by its delicate and frosty foliage, their Indigo has a refined appearance that shines under a generous coating of trichomes and bright orange pistils. Reviews describe a creamy citrus palate, and a high that leans toward physical relaxation, with an accompanying sense of euphoria and renewed creativity.

Origin 2: Indica (Unknown Breeder)

Developed from a cross North African and Afghani landraces, the older but more exotic variety of Indigo is reportedly a pure indica. Most reviews suggest this strain is only moderate potency, offering an accessible and upbeat entry point for newcomers looking to experiment with indica strains. Appearances vary, but buds tend to feature ample trichome coverage, dark streaks of purple, and leafy foliage that exudes a woody aroma of herbs and spices.
