Crescendo
Also known as: Crescendo RBx1
Overview
Crescendo is a premium hybrid cannabis strain created by Ethos Genetics, crossed from Chemdog, I-95, and Mandarin Cookies to create this THC-dominant hybrid. Named for the musical term, Crescendo brings on a high that builds and builds until you hit the point of pure happiness and ease. As a musical crescendo which builds up to a climax, Crescendo promises a gradual intensification of effects, leading to a peak that's sure to please. The resulting hybrid has a high THC content of 28% to 31%, with some batches reaching 30-35% average THC level.
Crescendo buds are notably dense and compact, with oversized bright neon green fluffy spade-shaped nugs with long thin orange hairs and a thick frosty coating of tiny white crystal trichomes. Dominated by notes of citrus, earth, and diesel, Crescendo's aroma is inviting and complex. As you pull apart each sparkling nugget, aromas of sweet woods and chemicals are released with a touch of berry, with the flavor being on the sweeter side, with ripe berries and sweet woods dancing across your tongue. Notably, the Crescendo strain was named the Best Indica at the 2018 Dope Cup in Seattle, solidifying its place as a top-rated strain.

Growing Information
Crescendo prefers warm and humid environments with consistent temperatures between 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The strain's flowering time is around eight to nine weeks, with a typical yield of 350 to 500 grams per square meter. Novice growers may find that the Crescendo strain requires some extra attention and care, but experienced growers should have no problem producing high-quality buds. Indoor yield can reach 300 g/m2, while outdoor yield can be 400 g/m2. The plant has a fairly short flowering time of 48-55 days. It's known to reach over 7 feet in outdoor gardens, however it stays closer to 5 feet indoors. Cultivating Crescendo requires intermediate expertise and the plant is quite demanding to care for and will require a lot of space to grow. One potential challenge is managing the strain's height, as it can grow quite tall and bushy. Using pruning and training techniques can help maintain its shape and maximize yield.
