Hybrid

What is the Infrared strain?

Infrared is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and diesel and earthy flavor profile.

Infrared is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive sensory profile. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history, it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain represents a carefully crafted hybrid that combines desirable traits from both indica and sativa lineages, resulting in a versatile experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.

The strain's name likely references its visual characteristics, as Infrared buds often display a remarkable color palette that includes deep purple hues, vibrant orange pistils, and a generous coating of frosty trichomes that shimmer under light. The dense, resinous buds are typically medium to large in size with a conical structure. Infrared's aroma profile is complex and layered, combining earthy base notes with sweet, fruity undertones and a hint of diesel that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.

Infrared is noted for its well-balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. This progression makes it suitable for various times of day, though many users prefer it for evening use. The strain's rarity means it may not be consistently available in all markets, and its genetic stability can vary between different breeders' versions. As with all cannabis strains, individual experiences may differ based on cultivation methods, harvest timing, and personal biochemistry.

How do you grow Infrared?

Infrared is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.

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 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Infrared requires careful attention to nutrient levels and benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but need good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when the dense buds develop. Growers should monitor humidity levels closely during late flowering to prevent bud rot.
