Red Dragon in detail

Origin & classification

Red Dragon is a sativa-dominant strain from Brazilian × Afghani. With up to 22 % THC, Red Dragon clearly falls into the stronger range. CBD is also visible in the profile at up to 1,2 %.

Aroma & flavour

In terms of aroma, Red Dragon is primarily sweet, guava-like, berry-like and spicy. Myrcene, Caryophyllene and Limonene complement this impression and give the profile additional depth. The combination of sweeter and classically spicy notes makes the strain more distinctive than many smoother standard hybrids.

Terpene profile

Red Dragon is generally described as relaxing, euphoric, uplifting and appetite-stimulating in its effects. This is precisely what often makes the strain interesting: it does not lean in just one direction, but appeals to both mind and body.

Effect tendency

The often-mentioned resin production is also clearly one of the characteristics that define this strain. Its open, balanced effects are one reason it is often described as a pleasant strain for social gatherings. In addition to the aroma, the combination of resin, flower density and solid yields is frequently highlighted.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

Red Dragon is therefore particularly suited to people who want to experience aroma and effects in as balanced a way as possible. Those who enjoy classic, direct strain profiles that are not overly polished will likely find this direction more appealing than purely trend-driven strains.

Further classification

In terms of aroma, Red Dragon is sweet, guava-like, berry-like and spicy. With up to 22 %, Red Dragon reaches a clear, strong potency level. CBD is also visibly represented in Red Dragon’s profile at up to 1,2 %. Between relaxing, euphoric and uplifting, the effects appear balanced, with both active and calmer aspects. Genetically, Red Dragon can be traced through Brazilian x Afghani. What is interesting about Red Dragon is the interplay between sweet, fruity notes and the more classic, earthy-spicy base. Myrcene, Caryophyllene and Limonene provide additional clues as to why the aroma profile is not defined by individual flavour notes alone. For classifying Red Dragon, it is important that the active side does not stand alone, but is balanced by calmer effects. The genetic indications suggest that Red Dragon has a more classic, heavy and robust side.
