B-52
Also known as: B52, B-52 Bomber
Overview
B-52 is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) created as a cross between Big Bud and Skunk #1. Named after the B-52 bomber jet plane to symbolize its potent characteristics and precision in effects, this strain has gained recognition for its balanced therapeutic properties and moderate potency. The strain was originally developed by Nirvana Seeds, one of the most respected cannabis breeders in the world known for their powerful genetics.
B-52 displays the classic characteristics inherited from its legendary parents, combining Big Bud's propensity for producing large, dense buds with abundant harvests and impressive resin production with Skunk #1's formidable genetics, unwavering stability and robustness. The buds are medium-sized, airy and leafy with popcorn-shaped dark olive green nugs featuring rich amber hairs, gold undertones, and a layer of fine sandy trichomes. The strain produces buds with a sweet skunky aroma and a taste of pungent earthy skunk that sweetens upon exhale.

Growing Information
B-52 is well-suited for beginner growers thanks to its high resilience, low maintenance requirements, and medium height. The strain typically flowers in about 9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually occurring by early to mid-October. Plants finish around 125-150cm in height and require only 63 days of flowering. B-52 is excellent for smaller indoor spaces with its short but bushy growth structure, capable of yielding 500-550 grams per square meter. Indoor cultivation thrives in controlled environments with temperatures around 70-80°F, with regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST recommended. For outdoor growing, it prefers warm, sunny Mediterranean-like climates with good airflow and well-draining soil to prevent mold and mildew.
