Laughing Buddha

Laughing Buddha: In High Demand

The seeds of the sought-after Laughing Buddha strain produce one of the most unique plants you will ever see in a garden or grow room. The short plants produce long buds that appear to be a very pale green, however, their appearance is due to the fact that they are covered in white, dusty resin from top to bottom. Looking closer you can see a purplish hue combined with a bit of red and orange. When harvested you’ll be left with amber and green nuggets densely packed with flavor and an earthy, citrussy aroma that fills the room. In 2003 Laughing Buddha took home the third place prize for Best Cannabis at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. The strain also won third place at the 2016 Karma Cup in Toronto for Best Sativa. Laughing Buddha’s growing popularity among growers and users as well as its many awards wins is further proof that you need this strain in your personal grow.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Growing the Laughing Buddha strain is considered very easy by growers within the cannabis community. If you haven’t tried growing cannabis before, Laughing Buddha may just be the best strain for you to start with because of its high yields, high THC content and its ability to thrive both indoors and outdoors. The plants prefer a warm and sunny environment with quality air circulation. Moderate humidity will help these plants achieve the flowering stage, but be careful because too much humidity could result in mold and bud rot finding its way to your crops.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Laughing Buddha plants are easy to grow both indoors and oudoors. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees fahrenheit. Begin your grow with 18 hours of light per day. Once you hit the flowering stage dial it back to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness for optimum results.
•  Moisture control: Relative humidity levels should be approximately 40-50% during the vegetative stage. Lowering the humidity to a steady 40% during flowering will help you reach your desired yields without any issues concerning mold or bud rot.
• Training Techniques: A combination of low-stress training and high-stress training will help your plants reach harvest. Make sure that the top leaves and branches are trimmed or adjusted so that light and air reach every level of the plant.

Dominant Terpenes in Laughing Buddha: Giggly and Relaxed

The Laughing Buddha terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene while limonene and caryophyllene are the secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant– Anti-inflammatory and stress reducing effects on the user. Gives the strain its earthy and musky notes.
• Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in citrus fruits as well as cannabis. Responsible for the fruity citrus flavor.
• Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery– Produces the spicy, peppery aroma and is responsible for anti-inflammatory properties.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Laughing Buddha:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Laughing Buddha seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That giggly, happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Laughing Buddha strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 18%, the THC in the Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when using Laughing Buddha.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Laughing Buddha are about 1% the cannabinoid is still present and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain and even stress. The CBD in the Laughing Buddha strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
