Killer Bud
Also known as: Killer, Killer Weed
Killer Bud Strain Overview
Killer Bud is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain that gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s. The exact origins of this strain are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed it. Most sources suggest it emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though some European breeders also claim to have created similar genetics. The strain was particularly noted during the early medical cannabis movement for its strong sedative properties and high THC content, which contributed to its intimidating name.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The leaves tend to be broad and dark green, consistent with its indica heritage. Killer Bud typically has a flowering period of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors.
While not as widely available in modern dispensaries as it once was, Killer Bud maintains a reputation among experienced cannabis enthusiasts as a classic heavy indica. Its potency and effects have made it a subject of cannabis folklore, though precise genetic documentation from its early development remains limited. The strain's name reflects its reputation rather than any specific breeding achievement, and it should be noted that multiple variations of 'Killer Bud' genetics may exist in circulation.

Killer Bud Strain Growing Information
Killer Bud is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. The plant tends to stay relatively short for an indica, typically reaching 3-4 feet in height indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. It produces dense, heavy buds that require good air circulation to prevent mold. Preferred growing conditions include a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like climate outdoors. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Yield is typically moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The plant benefits from pruning and training techniques to maximize light penetration to lower bud sites.
