Birds of Fire
Birds of Fire Strain Overview
Birds of Fire is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding circles. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with different sources attributing its development to various West Coast breeders. It gained limited popularity among connoisseurs for its unique combination of effects and flavor profile, though it never achieved widespread commercial distribution. The name appears to reference both the strain's fiery appearance and its uplifting, soaring effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual contrast between deep purple and fiery orange pistils, often with a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. The coloration tends to be more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds typically have a tight, compact structure with a sticky resinous texture that makes them somewhat challenging to break apart by hand.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that evolves during consumption and its balanced hybrid effects that many users describe as initially cerebral before settling into physical relaxation. The strain has remained somewhat obscure in mainstream cannabis markets but maintains a dedicated following among enthusiasts who appreciate its unique characteristics and reliable performance.

Birds of Fire Strain Growing Information
Birds of Fire is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 120-160 cm indoors and 180-220 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing some training techniques to maximize light penetration. The plants respond well to topping and low-stress training methods.
