Overview

What Is the Ingrid Strain?

Ingrid is an indica-dominant strain with a notable 24% THC and 1% CBG, putting it above the catalog average in potency. Its parents are UK Cheese and Hash Plant, which together shape a dense, aromatic bud that favors body-forward effects.

Effects Profile

Ingrid Effects

Users report a clearly sedating profile that trends toward sleepiness and deep relaxation rather than cerebral stimulation. Expect a calming body weight, slowing of racing thoughts, and a stronger-than-average cue for the appetite - this is the kind of cultivar people reach for when they want to switch off.

Flavor Notes

Ingrid Flavors & Aroma

The flavor leans sharply savory: cheese and skunk dominate with a pungent bite that lingers on the palate. Those flavors present as a dense, earthy funk rather than bright sweetness, so prepare for a full, slightly aggressive aroma and taste.

Terpene Profile

Terpene Profile of Ingrid

Ingrid carries caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene as its dominant terpenes. Caryophyllene brings peppery, spicy notes that pair with myrcene’s herbal, earthy tone to support the strain’s heavy, sedative character, while limonene injects a faint citrus brightness; together these terpenes can amplify the plant’s aroma and may modulate the subjective experience through the entourage effect.

Lineage

Potency

Ingrid THC & CBG Content

At 24% THC, Ingrid sits above the catalog average of about 20% THC, so it’s a step up in intensity for most users. The 1% CBG is present at a modest level; overall this profile suggests lower doses will be sufficient for many consumers and that new or sensitive users should dose more cautiously.

Is Ingrid Indica or Sativa?

Is Ingrid Indica or Sativa?

As an indica, Ingrid typically provides body-focused effects - heaviness, muscle relaxation, and mental quieting - rather than an energetic or creative uplift. That classification signals it’s best suited for downtime rather than daytime productivity.

Best For

Who Is Ingrid Best For?

Ingrid is best for evening or late-night use, especially when sleep, stress relief, or appetite stimulation is the goal. Its above-average potency favors people with some tolerance; novices should start low and go slow. Keep water nearby to counter dry mouth and avoid operating vehicles or machinery after consumption.

Editor's Take

Our Take on Ingrid

We find Ingrid to be a reliable, no-frills indica: it’s stronger than the average strain in our catalog, smells unmistakably cheesy and skunky, and delivers the sedating, appetite-inducing effects users report. With a 4.1/5 average from 152 ratings, the crowd likes it, which gives us confidence recommending it to evening users seeking sleep or relief from tension. If you want a clear-headed daytime experience or are sensitive to THC, look elsewhere - but if you value potency and a heavy-bodied high, Ingrid earns a spot in the nightcap rotation.
