Richie Rich Strain Overview
Richie Rich is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through a cross of Northern Lights #5 and Skunk #1. This strain is a 70% indica/30% sativa hybrid that has gained recognition among both recreational and medicinal cannabis users. The strain was developed by the renowned breeders at Clone Only Strains, who are known for their advanced genetics and selective breeding methods. The strain's creation involved more than 200 hours of cross-breeding experiments that resulted in a highly stable genotype, with early testers recording enhanced relaxation and a deep body high.
The buds of Richie Rich display distinctive physical characteristics that set it apart from other strains. The flowers are unusually small to medium in size and adhere in an irregular and chunky formation, with a structure that is more indica than sativa, featuring relatively small leaves that curl inward toward their central stems. The pale green leaves are twisted through with copper-colored pistils, and occasionally show off shades of purple as well, resulting from high concentrations of the pigment anthocyanin in their genetics. The buds have long pepper-shaped dense olive green nugs with rich amber undertones and a thick layer of furry amber hairs, spattered with dark purple leaves and a fine layer of milky white trichomes and syrupy sweet resin.
Richie Rich is celebrated for its unique aroma and flavor profile that combines multiple sensory elements. The strain is best known for its apple-like scent and taste mixed with citrusy mangoes and berries. It has a tart apple berry taste and smell of herbal apple berry pie. When burnt, Richie Rich gives off an extremely smooth and creamy smoke for inhalation, with the exhale carrying a tropical fruit flavor. Seeds of Richie Rich are not available for sale online; instead, growers must seek out clippings from mature plants to foster genetically identical clones.

Richie Rich Strain Growing Information
The strain can be grown indoors or out in a hot and humid climate, with plants tending to grow short and bushy with strong lateral branching. The flowering time for Richie Rich is typical for indica-dominant hybrids, with harvest ready around 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Maximum yields are 1-2 oz/ft² (400 g/m²) indoors and 15-20 oz/plant (550 g/plant) outdoors. Growers are advised to use indoor cultivation techniques as the strain typically thrives in controlled environments, with indoor yields reaching up to 500-700 grams per square meter when optimal parameters are maintained. The strain benefits from regular topping and training techniques such as low-stress training (LST) to maintain even canopy growth and maximize light exposure, with growers successfully increasing yields by approximately 10-12% when incorporating LST methods. Gardeners who want to bring out Richie Rich's full purple potential should expose their crops to cold (but not freezing) nighttime temperatures before flowering begins. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow due to its clone-only nature and specific environmental requirements.
