Fil Rouge Strain Overview
Fil Rouge is an ancient pure landrace sativa strain originating from the Caribbean island regions of Guadeloupe and Martinique. This strain is particularly valued by French Touch Seeds as a pure landrace variety that has been specifically preserved for cannabis enthusiasts and breeders interested in making their own selections and crosses. The strain is characterized as 100% sativa genetics with no indica influence, representing authentic Caribbean genetics that have adapted to their native tropical environment over generations. Fil Rouge is notable for developing distinctive red pistils during flowering, which gives the strain its name (meaning 'red thread' in French). The buds are described as not very compact, typical of sativa varieties, but the strain delivers a guaranteed sativa experience with intense cerebral effects. The strain exhibits phenotypic variations with some plants showing the characteristic red pistils more prominently than others, though all phenotypes maintain the potent effects and flavor profile.

Fil Rouge Strain Growing Information
Fil Rouge is a challenging strain to cultivate, requiring experienced growers. Indoor flowering time is approximately 11 weeks (77 days), which is typical for pure sativas. For indoor cultivation, it's recommended to use 5-liter pots and switch to flowering early, not exceeding 20cm in vegetative growth due to the strain's vigorous stretching. Nitrogen should be reduced from the 2nd week of flowering. Outdoor harvest occurs in late October to early November in suitable climates. The plant is sensitive to stress from sudden temperature changes, light schedule disruptions, or over-fertilization. Growers should carefully select phenotypes and eliminate hermaphrodites. The strain can be grown indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouses, but requires careful environmental control and patience due to the extended flowering period.
