Red Dragon is a cross between Himalayan Kush and Utopia Haze. Both of which have ties to Asia, ultimately where cannabis was discovered and where some of the most legendary strains call home. With an equally complex flavor and aroma, users will get hints of wood, spice, and sweet fruit.

The body buzz will have your limbs vibrating for hours, while the head high is welcoming and gives you the giggles, while also allowing users to be more creative and happy. It is the perfect blend for the whole body and won’t weigh you down or pin you to your couch for hours at a time.

Growing Tips for Red Dragon Seeds

Red Dragon plants grow to a medium height, reaching a maximum indoor size of around 3 feet and a taller outdoor height of 4 feet. Like most cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment with Mediterranean climates and lots of sunlight, real or artificial, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a solid choice for first-time growers. Below, we’ve provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.

Establish consistent conditions

Daytime temperatures of approximately 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit or approximately 21-27 degrees Celsius are ideal for Red Dragon plants. It is recommended that you drop the temperature during the flowering stage to encourage resin production. Dropping the temperatures between 5-15 degrees at night will mimic natural sunlight and nighttime temperatures indoors. Humidity levels should be around 40-50% during the vegetative stage, and around 30-40% during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture can help to reduce mold and mildew and encourage a more potent terpene profile.

Recommended Training Techniques

Low-stress Training, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Topping methods are the best techniques for the particular strain. These techniques will allow the plant to grow naturally without much outside influence. Screen of Green is a method that introduces nets and trellices to the plant so the heavier buds don’t weigh down and break the branches. This technique takes time but is definitely worth the extra effort. Topping is crucial with this specific strain to shape the plant’s size as well as trim the highest buds to allow sunlight and air flow to reach the lower levels. Topping the plant will also allow you to alter the plant’s shape and control the bushiness and height of the plant.

Fine-tune nutrient levels

All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, Red Dragon prefers a well-balanced nutrient cycle throughout the growth, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it’s important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest

The Red Dragon cannabis strain has a flowering period of approximately 55-60 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in the beginning to the beginning to middle of October. Indoor growers will produce up to 600 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 800 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable. Because this plant grows smaller than average, growers can plant multiple plants in a smaller grow area to increase the overall yields come harvest time.

Dominant Terpenes in Red Dragon

Red Dragon’s spicy and sweet fruity aroma and woody flavor are, in part, due to dominant terpenes limonene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene. Limonene is routinely found in the rinds of citrus fruits as well as cannabis plants. It gives off a sweet citrus scent and flavor. Myrcene is a common terpene found in cannabis plants, and it provides an earthy and musky aroma with sedative and relaxing effects on the user. Beta-caryophyllene is known as a spicy terpene that tastes and smells of pepper. It is mostly found in black pepper in nature.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Red Dragon

Red Dragon’s higher-than-average THC content of 23% makes it strong enough for veteran cannabis aficionados while being manageable enough for lighter tokers. It’s mostly Sativa effects mean that it will assuredly affect the mind more than the body. The body buzz is calm and chill, making the user feel light as air, while the cerebral effects are uplifting and euphoric, which allows users to entertain their more social side. It is a great choice for folks who have a party or group function to attend, and can be used day or night. If it is used at night, it will not have the drowsy effects that most Indica blends have.
