High Road
What is the High Road strain?
High Road is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and creamy flavor profile.
High Road is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains Gelato #41 and The Menthol, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. High Road emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the wave of dessert-flavored hybrids that gained popularity in the California cannabis market before spreading to other regions.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep purple hues with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. High Road plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for various growing environments.
High Road has gained recognition for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain's name references its reputation for providing a smooth, elevated experience without overwhelming psychoactivity. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream hybrids, High Road has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor profile.

How do you grow High Road?
High Road is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. High Road can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants reach a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like low-stress training (LST) to improve light penetration and airflow.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels during flowering (40-50% RH) to prevent bud rot, as the dense flowers are susceptible to moisture retention. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance purple coloration. Regular monitoring for pests is recommended, particularly spider mites and powdery mildew.
