Ruby Slippers
Ruby Slippers
Also known as: Ruby Red Slippers, Ruby Red
Overview
Ruby Slippers is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Ancient OG with Kaya's Dream #38 (which is itself a blend of Blue Dream and Chem), originally bred by Seed Logic Genetics. Pacific Reserve handpicked this strain for the California market, selecting it from more than 200 varieties. The strain was bred by Full Moon Genetics and features flavors described as sweet, earthy, and floral. There is some confusion about the exact genetics, as some sources indicate it's a cross between White 99 and OZ Kush, while others claim it's a cross of Glass Slipper and Ruby Red.
Ruby Slippers is named for its visually striking bright red stems, which remain vibrant throughout the growth cycle from vegetative stage through flowering. Its buds are emerald green with reddish-purple highlights and deep amber hairs. This strain features an unusual cannabinoid profile with THC levels ranging from 11-14% and remarkably high CBD content of around 20%, making it particularly appealing for medical cannabis users. The strain has seasonal availability, so consumers are advised to stock up when it becomes available.

Growing Information
Ruby Slippers has a flowering time of 9-10 weeks, though some sources indicate 60+ days (approximately 8.5+ weeks). The strain exhibits consistent characteristics from vegetative stage through flowering, which aids in cultivation planning. Professional cultivators use both sun and supplemental lighting to produce high-terpene and high-potency cannabis. Greenhouse cultivation delivers consistent year-round production and leans more toward indoor environment conditions than outdoor field growing. The strain is typically grown in organic soil with organic inputs for a clean, smooth-burning final product. The strain's distinctive red stems make it visually appealing throughout the growth cycle. Suitable for both indoor and greenhouse cultivation with moderate growing difficulty.
