RCG '79 Xmas Bud
Also known as: 1979 Xmas Bud Reproduction, RCG 1979 Xmas Bud
What is the RCG '79 Xmas Bud strain?
RCG '79 Xmas Bud is a indica cannabis strain, known for its body high effects and earthy and hash flavor profile.
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.
