Red Sapphire
Red Sapphire Strain Overview
Red Sapphire is a spectacular cannabis strain developed by ACE Seeds, representing one of their most successful sativa/indica hybrids released in 2018. This remarkable variety was created by crossing Malawi/PCK #47 F1 (purple phenotype) with Purple Nepal Jam F6, resulting in a complex genetic heritage that combines two tropical pure sativas (Malawi and Jamaican), a dominant sativa (Nepalese), and a colorful indica hash plant from Central Asia (Pakistan Chitral Kush). The strain is particularly renowned for its incredible visual appeal, developing intense pigmentation regardless of temperature that paints the plants in multiple colors before settling into deep reddish/fuchsia hues that give the variety its name. Red Sapphire plants are sturdy and robust, growing to a manageable medium size with thick stems and powerful side branches that support heavy flower weight without major problems. The strain exhibits uniform development across plants, with 75% showing the characteristic reddish phenotype while 25% remain green, producing pear and green apple aromas. Red Sapphire has gained recognition not only for its beauty but also for its versatility, ease of cultivation, vigor, rapid flowering time of just 9 weeks, low maintenance requirements, excellent resistance to weather and pests, and outstanding quality that makes it suitable for both small private growers and commercial purposes.
