Ruby Cabernet
Ruby Cabernet Strain Overview
Ruby Cabernet is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. Its name is inspired by the Ruby Cabernet grape variety, a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan, which is known for producing robust red wines. The strain was created by crossing the popular Gelato #41 with a selected phenotype of the strain Grape Pie, aiming to combine the dessert-like flavors of its parents with a balanced, potent effect. It gained recognition in the early 2020s within the cannabis community for its unique terpene profile and visually striking buds, often featured in cannabis competitions and enthusiast circles.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that exhibit a deep purple to ruby hue, especially in cooler growing conditions, with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The aroma is complex, blending sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of grapes and berries with earthy, herbal undertones, while the flavor profile often includes hints of wine, spice, and cream. Ruby Cabernet is noted for its balanced effects, offering an initial cerebral uplift followed by a relaxing body sensation, making it suitable for evening use.
While Ruby Cabernet is not as widely documented as some classic strains, it has garnered a following among connoisseurs for its aesthetic appeal and flavorful experience. Its lineage ties it to the 'Cookie' family of strains, known for their potency and dessert-like characteristics. As with many modern hybrids, information can vary between growers, and it is considered a relatively rare strain compared to mainstream varieties, with availability often limited to specific dispensaries or seed banks.

Ruby Cabernet Strain Growing Information
Ruby Cabernet is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for intermediate growers. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. The plant tends to be medium in height, often staying compact indoors but can stretch outdoors, yielding moderate to high amounts of dense, resinous buds. It prefers a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climate with low humidity to prevent mold. Special considerations include providing cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage to enhance purple coloration and ensuring good airflow due to its dense bud structure.
