Buy Indica Strains in New Zealand — 820 Compact Genetics
A compact, early-finishing group of 820. Two things follow from indica structure and both matter in New Zealand: the plant stays low enough to grow without announcing itself, and it comes down in eight or nine weeks rather than eleven, which in the lower South Island is the difference between a harvest and a frost. Density is the cost — packed flower holds water when March turns wet.
Also worth a look: feminised indicas if you want female plants guaranteed, autoflowering indicas if you want the same structure on a fixed clock, Kush genetics for the classic indica lineage, and sativas if you are after the opposite effect.

What this shelf holds
820 varieties sit on this shelf right now, and the THC figures on their listings run from 2% up to 33%, with the middle of the group at 20%. Counted from the catalogue when this page was built, so it matches the grid below.
- Photoperiod, all female: 610 of them (74%). You choose when they flower, and they carry the most weight per plant.
- Day-neutral: 210 (26%). These run on age, so the New Zealand daylight cycle is irrelevant to them.
- Indica-leaning: 817. Short and wide, quicker to finish, and usually myrcene-forward.
- Balanced crosses: 3. Somewhere between the two, and generally the easier grow for it.
- First three alphabetically: 3X Crazy, 3X Crazy and 41 Cherries. The grid below filters on finishing time, height and type.

How These 820 Varieties Break Down
Of the 820 varieties here, 817 lean indica (99%), 3 sit as balanced hybrids (<1%). 210 of the 820 are autoflowering (26%), and the remaining 610 flower on a light cycle. The mean listed THC across the group is about 20%, which is a genetic ceiling rather than a guarantee — the figure a plant actually reaches depends on light, feeding and harvest timing. These counts are read from the catalogue when the page is built, so they move when stock moves and cannot drift away from what is listed below.
Region Makes More Difference Than Strain Choice
Thirteen degrees of latitude separate the top of the country from the bottom, which is why a single national growing calendar is close to useless here. Auckland gives you mild winters and a long season, usually grown on small urban sections where plant height is the limit. the Waikato, by contrast, gives you heavy autumn dews and morning fog that sit in dense flower long after sunrise. An early finish is what closes that gap, which is exactly what indica-leaning structure buys you. What actually costs people a crop here is a damp March rather than a cold one: moisture sitting in packed flower is where rot starts, and spacing plants properly is a cheaper fix than anything you can spray on afterwards.
Getting the Most From Short, Dense Plants
Indica-leaning structure is compact and internodes are tight, which is an advantage under lights and a liability in a damp autumn. The same density that makes the flower look good traps moisture. Strip the lower growth that will never see decent light, keep air moving through the middle of the plant rather than only over the top, and pull humidity down to 45% or below once flowers start filling. Outdoors in the wetter North Island regions, that single habit — opening the plant up — decides more harvests than strain choice does. Their short stature also makes them the sensible pick where height has to stay below a fence line. This applies to the 610 photoperiod varieties in this category; the other 210 run on age instead.
