Reef Rider
Reef Rider Strain Overview
Reef Rider is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains Runtz and Slurricane, combining the desirable traits of both parent strains. While not as widely documented as some mainstream varieties, Reef Rider has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects that blend cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure. The nugs are often forest green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give them a shimmering appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The aroma profile is complex, blending sweet, fruity notes with gassy undertones and a hint of earthiness.
Reef Rider's effects are characterized by a gradual onset that begins with cerebral euphoria before transitioning to full-body relaxation. Users often describe the experience as uplifting without being overly stimulating, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain's balanced nature has contributed to its popularity among those seeking a middle-ground between pure sativa and indica experiences.

Reef Rider Strain Growing Information
Reef Rider is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, with proper cultivation techniques producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to maintain a medium height, making them manageable for indoor grows with limited vertical space. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Reef Rider prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels. The strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows for better environmental control. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold issues.
