Red Dwarf
Also known as: Red Dwarf Auto, Buddha Red Dwarf
What is the Red Dwarf strain?
Red Dwarf is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and coffee flavor profile.
Red Dwarf is an autoflowering indica-dominant strain created by Buddha Seeds through careful breeding that combines White Dwarf genetics with a selected Skunk female. This compact strain represents the successful hybridization of cannabis ruderalis genetics, which contributes to its autoflowering characteristic that allows the plant to flower based on age rather than light cycles. The strain was specifically developed for cultivators seeking a discreet, manageable plant with a short life cycle suitable for small spaces and stealth growing operations. Red Dwarf plants typically reach heights of 40-60 cm (approximately 24 inches), making them ideal for indoor cultivation or small outdoor gardens. The buds are characterized by their dense, arrowhead-shaped structure with mint green coloration, rich amber hairs, and a generous coating of milky white trichomes. Some phenotypes may display reddish or purple hues, contributing to the strain's distinctive appearance. The plant develops with a compact indica structure reminiscent of a small fir tree, with thick branches that become covered with resinous inflorescences along their entire length during flowering.

How do you grow Red Dwarf?
Red Dwarf is an easy-to-grow autoflowering strain ideal for beginners and experienced growers alike. The plant has a fast life cycle, completing from seed to harvest in approximately 60-65 days (8-9 weeks), with flowering occurring automatically after about 6 weeks regardless of light cycle. Indoor yields range from 400-550g/m², while outdoor plants typically produce 72-130g per plant. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring Mediterranean-like temperatures and requiring minimal maintenance. Due to its compact size (40-60cm), it's perfect for small spaces, balconies, and stealth grows. The plant benefits from early topping to remove fan leaves that may block light from lower bud sites. Red Dwarf responds well to the SOG (Sea of Green) technique and requires good root development during the vegetative phase. Growers should note that despite its small stature, the plant produces intensely aromatic flowers that may require odor control measures.
