Red Delicious Strain Overview
Red Delicious is a hybrid cannabis strain created from crossing Apple Fritter and Red Pop, bred by Exotic Genetix. The strain typically exhibits THC content of 17%, positioning it as suitable for experienced users, though variants can reach 22-26% THC, with generally low CBD content indicating a focus on psychoactive rather than non-psychoactive therapeutic effects. Notable for its exceptional terpene potency surpassing 3 percent, this strain represents a significant advancement in cannabis genetics, combining the robust characteristics of its parent strains to produce a unique terpene profile and aesthetic appeal.
Red Delicious features a complex and satisfying flavor profile that combines grape, licorice, and kush, with notes of sweet, earthy, and floral elements. Its aroma includes hints of apple and tree fruit, accented by a delightful rose scent. Visually, the buds are dense and frosty, with a sticky resin coating. Apple Fritter contributes sweet and earthy aromatics with notes of hops and roses, while Red Pop brings vibrant coloration and additional layers to the terpene profile, enriching the sensory experience. Plants typically present medium height with strong central stalks and symmetrical lateral branching, with moderate internodal spacing allowing light penetration. The flowers are dense, golf-ball to egg-shaped, and heavily resinous, showing thick, cloudy trichome heads by mid-flower.

Red Delicious Strain Growing Information
Growing Red Delicious is considered relatively easy for cannabis enthusiasts. The strain thrives best in Mediterranean-like climates with abundant sunshine and mild temperatures. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 3 to 6 feet, making them manageable for most indoor setups, with a flowering period of 9 weeks. Indoor growers can expect yields averaging 280 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation offers heartier yields averaging around 350 grams per plant. Flowering time is phenotype-dependent but typically ranges 8-10 weeks, with 63-70 days being the most common harvest window. Terpinolene-forward phenotypes often finish by day 60-63, while spicier, color-forward phenotypes may benefit from day 67-70 for full maturity. The strain's robust genetics ensure resilience against common pests and diseases, making it suitable for growers with some experience due to its manageable nature and resistance to common growing challenges. Cultivation requires meticulous attention to environmental conditions, specifically warm, sunny climates with consistent hydration and nutrient-dense soil. The strain's predisposition to mold and mildew requires proper airflow techniques, and precise pruning and training methods are vital for managing dense foliage.
