Code Red
Overview
Code Red is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Exotic Genetix in 2022, created by crossing Red Runtz and Scotty 2 Hotty. This genetic marvel combines four sought-after strains in its lineage: Red Pop, Runtz, Biscotti, and Rainbow Chip, creating a standout strain in the cannabis market with remarkable potency and complexity. The strain is characterized by visually striking buds with vibrant green coloration contrasted with purple hues and fiery-orange pistils, all enveloped by a shimmering coat of trichomes. Code Red is considered a high THC strain with levels sometimes exceeding 25%, averaging 23% or more, making it an ideal choice for cannabis enthusiasts who love indica-dominant effects. This thoughtful cross leverages a balanced indica/sativa heritage, resulting in a strain that melds the deep relaxation typical of indicas with the creative uplift of sativas.

Growing Information
Code Red has a flowering period of 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), making it relatively fast for a hybrid. Indoor growers can expect yields between 550-800 grams per square meter. The strain is considered relatively easy to grow and well-suited for both novice and experienced growers. It thrives in controlled indoor environments with proper airflow and humidity control (60% during flowering), but can also do well outdoors in dry, sunny conditions. The plant requires experienced cultivation due to the denseness of its buds and exacting conditions needed for its vibrant colors to truly thrive. Light LST (Low Stress Training) or topping works well for increasing flower sites, and regular pruning is recommended for maximum light penetration. Available only as feminized seeds from Exotic Genetix, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
