Medicine Buddha
Also known as: Buddha Medicine, Med Buddha
Medicine Buddha Strain Overview
Medicine Buddha is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Bodhi Seeds, named after the Buddhist deity associated with healing and medicine. The strain was created by crossing the legendary indica-dominant hybrid Snow Lotus with an unknown sativa-dominant parent, resulting in a plant that combines therapeutic potential with cerebral stimulation. Its development reflects the breeder's interest in creating strains with both recreational and potential wellness applications, though specific historical documentation about its exact creation timeline remains limited.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a distinctive appearance. The flowers are often lime green with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds tend to be compact and rounded, with a structure that balances both indica and sativa characteristics. Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and the balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day.
Medicine Buddha has gained recognition within cannabis communities for its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following among home growers and medical users who appreciate its consistent performance. The strain's name reflects its intended purpose as a therapeutic option, though like all cannabis strains, individual experiences can vary significantly based on cultivation methods, consumption techniques, and personal biochemistry.

Medicine Buddha Strain Growing Information
Medicine Buddha is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and requires careful nutrient management to avoid nutrient burn.
