Red Diesel
Also known as: Red Diesel by Barney's Farm
Red Diesel Strain Overview
Red Diesel is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% sativa/50% indica) created by renowned cannabis breeders at Barney's Farm through a cross between NYC Diesel and California Orange. Developed as an improvement to the already illustrious NYC Diesel, Red Diesel was specifically bred to increase weight and potency while maintaining the distinctive 'sweet and sour' diesel taste that made its parent strain famous. The strain has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community and became a popular fixture on Amsterdam coffeeshop menus. Red Diesel plants grow to medium height with strong side branches that develop beautifully large, resin-filled colas. The buds are characterized by their distinctive appearance featuring an earthy reddish tint that underlies light minty green coloration, along with bright orange and red hairs that give the strain its name. The buds are typically large, dense, and heavily coated with crystalline trichomes, creating an impressive visual appeal that matches the strain's potent effects.

Red Diesel Strain Growing Information
Red Diesel is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it unsuitable for complete beginners but manageable for growers with some experience. The flowering time ranges from 60-70 days (9-10 weeks), with some sources indicating optimal harvest around 65 days. Expected yields are generous, with indoor cultivation producing up to 600 grams per square meter (approximately 21 ounces), while outdoor plants can yield even more when harvested in mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. Plants grow to medium height with strong side branches that require support during the final weeks of flowering due to the weight of large, resin-filled colas. The strain responds well to training techniques including FIM, LST (Low Stress Training), and topping. Humidity should be kept below 45% during the final weeks to prevent bud rot, particularly for the larger colas. Red Diesel is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
