B52
Also known as: B-52, Bomb 52
B52 Strain Overview
B52 is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the seed company Bomb Seeds. The strain's name references the B-52 Stratofortress bomber aircraft, suggesting its potent, long-lasting effects that some users describe as 'bomb-like' in their intensity. While its exact genetic origins are not fully documented by the breeder, it is widely believed to be a cross between an Afghani indica and a Skunk #1 phenotype, combining classic landrace genetics with reliable hybrid vigor.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. B52 plants tend to have a compact, bushy structure typical of indica varieties, with broad leaves and tight internodal spacing.
Notable features of B52 include its robust growth patterns and relatively short flowering time, making it appealing to cultivators. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation, though it leans toward indica dominance in its overall profile. Its popularity has remained consistent since its introduction, particularly among users seeking potent relaxation without complete sedation.

B52 Strain Growing Information
B52 is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if given space. B52 responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. It prefers a stable climate with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in its dense buds. The plants are generally resistant to common pests and diseases but benefit from good air circulation.
