Real American Hero
Also known as: American Hero
Real American Hero Strain Overview
Real American Hero is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from American breeders seeking to create a strain that embodied classic American cannabis characteristics. The strain was developed through selective breeding programs on the West Coast, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure due to the underground nature of cannabis breeding during that period. It represents a deliberate attempt to combine the best traits of American landrace genetics with modern breeding techniques.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dense, conical-shaped flowers covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues and orange pistils. The foliage is often dark green with broad leaves characteristic of its indica heritage, though the plant structure shows sativa influence in its height and branching pattern.
Real American Hero has gained recognition for its reliable performance and consistent effects, making it popular among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients. The strain's name reflects its all-American breeding lineage and the patriotic sentiment often associated with cannabis culture in the United States. While not as widely known as some commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.

Real American Hero Strain Growing Information
Real American Hero is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) with strong branching that may require support during flowering. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control to prevent mold and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a 1-2 week flush before harvest.
