What is the Redd Cross strain?
Redd Cross is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Redd Cross is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Genetics Gone Mad through crossing Spirit of '76 with an undefined Afghani indica landrace. The strain was named through a naming contest and much of its development is attributed to the late Dan Christensen, a pioneering cannabis breeder. This strain has gained attention for its visually striking buds that display spectacular red and pink hues throughout the colorful colas, which give off a spectrum of colors that make them stand out from typical green cannabis flowers.
The strain is renowned for its unique combination of therapeutic effects and visual appeal. Redd Cross produces large, cone-shaped buds that are fluffy and encased in glistening trichomes with patches of short golden pistils. The coloration comes from high concentrations of anthocyanins, which can intensify with exposure to cold temperatures during the flowering stage. Users report that the strain delivers a balanced high that provides mood elevation with a warm glow of effects while maintaining functionality, making it particularly valued by medical patients for pain relief without complete sedation.
