RCG '79 Xmas Bud
Also known as: 1979 Xmas Bud Reproduction, RCG 1979 Xmas Bud
RCG '79 Xmas Bud Strain Overview
RCG '79 Xmas Bud is a modern reproduction strain created by Rage City Genetics, representing an attempt to preserve and recreate the legendary 1979 Christmas Bud that originally appeared on the East Coast of the United States. This strain is a cross of CSI Humboldt's 1979 Xmas Bud F1 (Purple Pheno) with Dirty Lies by 2 Guns and a Guy Seed Company (Tom Hill's Pine Tar Kush x CSI Humboldt's 1979 Xmas Bud). The original 1979 Xmas Bud is believed to be an old Afghani landrace select that was likely an Afghani or Afghani/Northern Lights Northeast outdoor bud that came around during the holidays and smelled like a Christmas wreath, piney, savory, and dank.
The strain exhibits classic indica characteristics with dense lime green nugs with sparse purple notes, orange pistils, and heavy trichome coverage. It reeks of Pinene and Terpinolene, staying true to the Christmas tree-like aroma profile that made the original famous. The strain maintains a 90% indica to 10% sativa ratio and is noted for being phenotypically stable, though there's a possibility that this lineage will hermaphrodite as these seeds are open pollinated rather than selectively bred. Currently, this remains a testing strain only and has not been released.

RCG '79 Xmas Bud Strain Growing Information
RCG '79 Xmas Bud can be cultivated indoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days (56-63 days). The strain requires careful humidity control as growers have reported issues with bud rot due to the extremely dense bud structure. Plants tend to be very short and dense with a strong pine smell. Recommended pH levels are 6.3-6.7, with light cycles of 18/6 or 20/4 for vegetative growth and 12/12 for flowering. There's potential for hermaphroditic traits due to the open pollination method used in preservation, so growers should monitor plants closely. The strain is considered mostly suitable for intermediate to advanced growers due to its specific environmental requirements and potential stability issues.
