What is the Barbara Bud strain?
Barbara Bud is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
Barbara Bud is the creation of British Columbia-based breeders House of the Great Gardener, developed by crossing a flavorful Shishkaberry mother from London, Ontario with their own Ghani AF male, an outstanding pure medicinal indica. She was named after well-known Canadian Broadcasting Corp radio host Barbara Budd, whose show the trimming team often listened to during long sessions. While Barbara Budd wasn't a known cannabis consumer, she was supportive of the fight for access to medical marijuana and Mat's constitutional challenge that he ultimately won. This strain is an indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) that has earned several European and Canadian cannabis awards, with more than 20 international wins including multiple placements at events like Spannabis, Karma Cup, and High Times Cannabis Cup. Barbara Bud nugs have long dense dark forest green pepper-shaped buds with dark orange hairs and olive green leaves, dusted with an extremely dense layer of milky white trichomes giving them an almost snow-covered, furry appearance.
