Nain Rouge
Also known as: Red Dwarf, Red Gnome
Nain Rouge Strain Overview
Nain Rouge is an indica-dominant cannabis strain named after the legendary red dwarf creature from Detroit folklore. The strain was developed by French breeder Kannabia Seeds, who sought to create a potent indica with distinctive visual characteristics and a complex terpene profile. Its name, which translates to 'Red Dwarf' in French, references both its compact growth structure and the reddish-purple hues that often develop in its flowers during cultivation.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a striking color palette of deep green foliage contrasted with vibrant orange pistils and purple undertones that become more pronounced in cooler temperatures. The flowers are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Nain Rouge's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy and woody base notes with fruity and floral accents that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Nain Rouge has gained popularity among indica enthusiasts for its balanced effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. While not as widely distributed as some commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among growers who appreciate its aesthetic appeal and users who seek a relaxing yet functional indica experience. The strain's genetic stability and consistent performance have made it a reliable choice for both home growers and commercial producers seeking a visually distinctive indica variety.

Nain Rouge Strain Growing Information
Nain Rouge is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a relatively short flowering time of 7-8 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Plants tend to remain compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors, making them suitable for limited spaces or stealth grows.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and is adaptable to various training techniques including topping, LST (low-stress training), and SCROG (screen of green). Nain Rouge prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with warm days and cool nights that help enhance its color development. Growers should monitor humidity levels during late flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in overly moist conditions.
