Blue Buddha
Also known as: Purple Buddha
Blue Buddha Strain Overview
Blue Buddha is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) created as a cross between Oregon Blueberry and Buddha's Sister strains. Originally bred by B.C. Bud Depot in the early 2000s, this strain was brought to the world by Moonshineman and Direwulfe and became their 2006 Indica Cannabis Cup entry. The strain has since gained popularity among cultivators worldwide, being grown in nearly every country around the globe.
Blue Buddha is characterized by its medium-sized, neon green spade-shaped buds adorned with translucent amber hairs and a frosty layer of white trichomes. The strain exhibits beautiful blue and purple coloration in its foliage, symbolic of its Asian genetic heritage. The buds are notably dense and resinous, producing heavy yields with a rich aroma that requires careful odor control during cultivation. The strain's appearance is visually striking, with lush blue and green flowers sprouting orange pistils, making it as appealing to the eye as it is effective medicinally.

Blue Buddha Strain Growing Information
Blue Buddha is considered suitable for intermediate growers and adapts well to various growing methods including single cola, sea of green, or multi-branching techniques. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with indoor flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) and outdoor harvest in late October. Plants are naturally resistant to pests and show no hermaphroditic tendencies, making them reliable for cultivation. Outdoor plants demonstrate excellent frost resistance and continue growing into ripeness. The strain produces generous, dense yields but requires odor control due to its strong aroma during flowering. It's recommended to harvest at proper ripeness rather than allowing plants to go too long, as flavor may begin to fade.
