Hula Buddha
Also known as: Hula Budda
Hula Buddha Strain Overview
Hula Buddha is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the popular Hawaiian Haze with the potent Buddha strains. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to combine the tropical characteristics of Hawaiian genetics with the relaxing properties of Buddha varieties. The strain gained popularity in West Coast cannabis markets before spreading to other regions, though it remains less common than its parent strains.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright orange pistils weaving through forest green calyxes. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The flowers often display purple hues in cooler growing conditions, adding to their visual appeal. Hula Buddha is noted for its complex aroma profile that evolves as the buds are broken apart.
Notable features include its balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users, along with its relatively fast flowering time compared to pure sativa strains. The strain's tropical heritage is evident in its flavor profile, while its Buddha lineage contributes to its relaxing physical effects. Hula Buddha is considered a good choice for those seeking a middle-ground experience between cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation.

Hula Buddha Strain Growing Information
Hula Buddha is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plants prefer a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and respond well to both soil and hydroponic setups indoors.

The plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering stage. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in optimal conditions.
