Skunk Red Hair
Also known as: Red Hair Skunk
Skunk Red Hair Strain Overview
Skunk Red Hair is a cannabis strain that was developed in the early 1980s when numerous red hairs were a sign of sweet tasting, quality bud. This strain represents the old-school California breeding tradition and has become available through multiple breeders including Nirvana Seeds and EC Genetics. The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance, featuring oversized and fluffy, emerald-green nugs with forest green leaves, thick red-orange hairs and a frosty coating of sparkling, blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. As its name suggests, the strain is particularly notable for the abundant red-orange pistils that develop as the plant matures. Red Hair is a legacy name, not a single registered cultivar, used by consumers since the late 1970s to describe cannabis flower with conspicuously red or fire-orange pistils, which means different breeders may offer slightly varying genetics under this name. The strain combines classic Skunk genetics with red-haired phenotypes to create a balanced hybrid experience.
