Top 10 Couch Locking Strains
The thing with weed is that many strains induce different feelings at different levels. You may want a strain that makes you a bit giggly or more social. Your goal may be to improve creativity or focus. On occasion, however, you may want nothing more than to get wholly baked, lie on the sofa, eat through ALL the snacks, and binge-watch an entire box set.

2. El Patron
El Patron is the by-product of AMG (Amnesia Mac Ganja) and Shiva. AMG is a sativa-dominant strain with THC levels of 22%, imparting a cerebral high. In contrast, Shiva is an Indica strain that gives you more of a medicinal, therapeutic delight. The lovechild, known as El Patron is a well-poised sativa dominant (60/40%) hybrid loaded with THC and fruity terpenes. El Patron grows well indoors and outdoors. The Indica genetics show through in the short bushy appearance.
El Patron hits the sweet spot between a sativa buzz and an indica high, supplying an almost-perfect balance. An initial head high sets in quickly, influencing alertness and boosting creativity. Seamlessly this soon morphs into a calming body high promoting introspection and contemplation. It's an awesome social cultivar whilst also ideal for chilling. El Patrons' full-bodied taste and spicy citrus and kush fragrances go great in infused baked goods and sweet foods.

3. Candy Kush Express
The offspring of Sweet Special and OG Kush. At 40% sativa and 60% Indica, this strain is an evenly balanced hybrid. Sweet Special is known for its stable growth and sweet taste. The legend goes that OG Kush is a famously Indica-heavy strain, descended from the inexpressibly potent Afghani Kush known worldwide for their soothing effects that impart heavy couchlock feels.
A unique blend of uplifting and deeply relaxing, a low dose of CBD helps regulate the heaviness of the THC. Candy Kush Express's fast flowering is impressive, ready in seven weeks. Even novice growers will find it surprisingly easy to yield dense, high-quality buds quickly.

4. Critical
Large yields, short flowering period, good smoke. Critical will satisfy the 'cash-crop' grower and the connoisseur. An Indica-dominant variety (60%/40%) stems from impressive Afghani and Skunk parentage. Its demure stature also makes it suitable for the more discreet growers.
It brings on an excellent stone that will mellow you into a relaxed, heavy, physically relaxing state. Candy, earth, fruit, pine and skunk: there are many flavours to enjoy with this one. Expect a robust and savoury, yet sweet earthiness, while the high is soothing and relaxing. Great for stress-induced insomnia and anxiety, this one will chill you to the bone.

5. Blue Mystic
The legends Blueberry and Northern Light created this Indica-dominant cultivar loaded with flavour. Blueberry is an award-winning strain known for its unique, sweet taste and deeply couch-locking effects.
Northern Light is a classic that has been stoning smokers for decades thanks to its Afghan and Thai heritage. The resulting "Blue Mystic" has an 80% indica genetic profile and a THC level of at least 18%. Blue Mystic will bring about a blissful sense of contentment, deep relaxation, and a gentle stream of inspiration. Blue Mystic is the perfect strain for lazy days and evenings relaxing alone or with friends.
Bushy in stature, Blue Mystic will be ready for harvest with a lively, sweet taste after eight weeks. But give it a little longer, and it will pay you back with a heavier body-stoned effect.

6. Somango XL
Somango XL was created to meet the demand for a strain with a powerful, classic high without the side dish of tiredness. Created from two productive and robust plants, Somango and Critical 47. This hybrid's popularity has gone from strength to strength.
The subsequent effect comes on very quickly, bringing about a calming feeling of peaceful clarity without feeling tired. The high is strong and can last for several hours as it is 18% THC. It is an excellent cultivar for inspiration and creativity.
Somango feminized has a genetic ratio of 25% sativa and 75% indica. Suitable for growers of all experiences, the plant grows very condensed; mature plants show flecks of soft purple hues and buds dusted with a fine coat of crystals that can be harvested after eight weeks of flowering.

7. Sweet ZZ Auto
Auto flowering strains are easy to grow, but photoperiod strains give better yields. Sweet ZZ Auto combines these traits in an easy grower that produces a harvest that rivals most photoperiods.
Premium parent strains were selected for exceptional yield and taste. Zkittlez was chosen for its award-winning taste, smell, and high indica relaxing effect. Diesel Auto was the perfect option to bring some premium auto-flowering genetics. Sweet ZZ Auto gives a predominantly stoning high that targets the body.
With a THC level of 18%, this one will slam you with a soothing effect that will clean up all anxiety and stress. An array of relaxing terpenes includes caryophyllene, limonene, spice, and pepper notes.

8. White Widow Auto
White Widow is another strain that forms the blueprint for many other well-loved cultivars. White Widow Automatic improves on the original in some respects. You can expect a more compact size, faster growth, and a slightly more physical stone than you may be used to.
Like the original version bred from a cross between a Brazilian sativa landrace and a resin-heavy South Indian indica, this Auto comprises 65% indica and 35% Sativa. White Widow Automatic combines bitter and earthy tones to create a delicious experience. Pine flavours are noticeable, along with fresh citrus flavours.
Delivering a chilled high at around 15% THC, this auto strain will give you a more powerful body stone than the regular, feminized version, providing unmistakable couch-lock feels. However, because the overall effect is not as strong, White Widow Automatic makes a more versatile choice for daytime or evening.

9. Royal Cheese Auto
Royal Cheese is beloved by many for its uniquely pungent cheesy aroma and flavour. Now enjoy this legendary Indica dominant strain in a smaller and easier-to-manage package. This "god-tier" Auto is a ferocious mix of Cheese and Royal Critical combined with the hardy genes of cannabis ruderalis.
The Cheese family of strains holds a legendary status with many thanks to the 1990s UK rave scene, remaining one of the most distinct terpene profiles out there. Much like the original, this auto variety emanates a spicy aroma and intense taste of sour cheese, earth, and spices. Royal Cheese Automatic is an excellent strain for those who want the benefits of easy growth that auto-flowering strains offer.
Cheese Auto will grow to a maximum height of around 100cm and yield generously under prime conditions. With an average THC of 18% or more, this one will hit hard. The effect is classic couch-lock "chill and munchies". Be prepared for a solid physical impact, with a happy, euphoric sensation to follow.

10. Bubble Kush Auto
Bubble Kush Automatic is an indica dominant cultivar that results from cleverly crossbreeding the established heavy indica effects of OG Kush with the delicious, sweet flavours of Bubble Gum and the easy-grow genes of Critical Automatic.
You'll harvest these compact and sticky buds only 10–11 weeks after germination. An easy grower indoors or outdoors, this fine specimen will reward you with excellent yields. In addition, Bubble Kush Automatic produces a respectable THC level of around 16%. So, whilst you will be stoned and chilled, it won't take you too far down the rabbit hole where you can't do anything productive.
Instead, you will experience a degree of clarity and creativeness alongside your relaxed mood. Bubble Kush delivers a terpene profile of earthiness, fruit, pepper, and pine, adding deep flavour to match the relaxing vibes. A great "middle ground" strain for when you want to relax but still be able to get up for more than the pizza guy!
