Overview
Red Dragon is an exotic hybrid cannabis strain created by Barney's Farm through crossing West Himalayan Kush with Utopia Haze, a landrace Brazilian sativa. This strain exhibits a sativa-dominant genetic profile with a ratio between 60:40 and 70:30 sativa to indica. The strain's name reflects its striking visual characteristics, as the buds are dense and compact, showcasing vibrant shades of green with hints of purple throughout, often featuring fiery red hairs intermingled with the green and purple hues.
Developed by Amsterdam-based Barney's Farm, one of the most iconic seed banks and international benchmarks in the cannabis world, Red Dragon has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive characteristics. The crossing of Pakistani Kush with a true Brazilian sativa paved the way for one of their most exotic strains, giving a distinctive and immediately exotic sativa high with a relaxing effect that lasts for hours. The strain's complex genetic heritage combines the robust resilience and potent effects from its Himalayan Kush parent with the invigorating cerebral high contributed by Utopia Haze, resulting in a versatile cannabis variety appreciated by both recreational and medical users worldwide.
