Amethyst Bud
Also known as: Amethyst
Overview
Amethyst Bud is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (80% indica/20% sativa) bred by Soma Seeds, created through crossing Lavender and Afghani Hawaiian strains. This strain gets its name from its striking visual appearance, featuring deep purple hues mingled with minty green coloration, creating an alluring contrast reminiscent of the precious gemstone. The buds are small to medium-sized, airy yet dense, and are generously coated with visible THC-rich trichomes that sparkle like crystals. First developed by Soma Seeds, the strain has become notable for its rich genetics that combine the purple coloration from its Kush lineage with the aromatic qualities inherited from its Lavender parent.
Amethyst Bud displays distinctive characteristics that make it easily recognizable among cannabis connoisseurs. The strain produces numerous smaller, dense buds rather than large colas, with the dark purple coloration from the Purple Kush genetics prominently displayed alongside bright green undertones. The buds are heavily crystallized with trichomes visible to the naked eye, giving them their signature sparkling appearance. The strain has a complex aromatic profile combining sweet berries with floral lavender notes, woody undertones, and a pungent earthiness that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart or combusted. This unique combination of visual appeal, aromatic complexity, and balanced effects has made Amethyst Bud a sought-after strain for both recreational and medicinal users seeking a sophisticated cannabis experience.

Growing Information
Amethyst Bud is considered an easy to moderate strain to grow, making it suitable for novice growers looking to develop their skills, though not recommended as a first-time plant. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with a flowering time of 9-10 weeks (63-70 days). Indoor yields average around 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant with harvest ready by the end of October. Plants grow to medium height, making them manageable in most growing spaces without requiring excessive vertical room. The strain produces high yields with numerous smaller, dense buds rather than large colas. Growers should provide adequate nutrients, proper lighting, and humidity control while monitoring for pests. The strain is relatively hardy but benefits from experienced attention during the flowering period.
