Richard Ramirez

Richard Ramirez is a sativa dominant hybrid (65% sativa/35% indica) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 13-19% on average, with 0.9% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Richard Ramirez high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. Underneath the mental charge, a mellow body calm keeps things comfortable, taking the edge off without ever slowing you down. These combined effects make Richard Ramirez a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Richard Ramirez has a mouth-filling earthy and berry flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a berry finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded bright neon green nugs, thin orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Richard Ramirez offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed.
