Buddha's Hand FL
Also known as: Buddha's Hand, Buddha Hand
Buddha's Hand FL Strain Overview
Buddha's Hand FL is an indica-dominant cannabis strain named after the unusual Buddha's Hand citrus fruit, which resembles multiple elongated fingers. The 'FL' designation typically indicates a Florida phenotype or variation of the original strain. This particular expression has gained recognition in medical cannabis markets, particularly in regions where it has been developed and stabilized by local breeders. The strain's genetics combine classic indica characteristics with unique aromatic properties that distinguish it from more common varieties.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep green foliage often accented with purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are typically compact and rounded, characteristic of indica varieties, with a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. Buddha's Hand FL is noted for its complex aromatic profile that blends citrus, earthy, and spicy notes, creating a sensory experience that some users compare to the actual Buddha's Hand fruit's fragrance.
While specific historical documentation is limited, Buddha's Hand FL appears to have emerged from the medical cannabis community in Florida, where breeders sought to develop a strain with consistent therapeutic effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. The strain has gained popularity among medical patients for its balanced effects and reliable performance. It represents an example of regional strain development where local growing conditions and patient needs have influenced the breeding and selection process over multiple generations.

Buddha's Hand FL Strain Growing Information
Buddha's Hand FL is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to remain relatively compact for an indica, reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
