Also known as: Mokum's Tulip, Amsterdam Bud
Mokum Bud Strain Overview
Mokum Bud is a cannabis strain that originated in Amsterdam's famous coffee shop culture, specifically named after the Yiddish-derived nickname 'Mokum' for Amsterdam. The strain was developed in the late 1990s as a tribute to the city's progressive cannabis policies and vibrant cannabis scene. Breeders sought to create a strain that embodied the spirit of Amsterdam's cannabis culture while offering reliable effects suitable for both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain presents with dense, resinous buds that typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Mokum Bud's aroma combines earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones, creating a complex sensory profile that has made it popular among connoisseurs.
While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Mokum Bud has maintained a cult following in European cannabis circles, particularly in the Netherlands and neighboring countries. Its balanced effects and manageable cultivation characteristics have contributed to its enduring popularity among home growers and coffee shop patrons alike.
