Muddy Buddy
Also known as: MuddyBuddy, MudBud
Muddy Buddy Strain Overview
Muddy Buddy is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing two popular West Coast varieties, creating a balanced hybrid that has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and consistent effects. While its exact breeding history is not as extensively documented as some classic strains, Muddy Buddy has established a reputation in regional cannabis markets, particularly in Oregon and Washington.
The strain's name references both its earthy flavor profile and its relaxing, sedative effects that some users describe as feeling 'bogged down' or 'muddy' in a pleasant way. Muddy Buddy plants typically produce medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves often accented by deep purple hues and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The nugs are usually compact and resinous, breaking apart to reveal complex aromatic notes.
Notable characteristics include Muddy Buddy's balanced genetic profile that provides both cerebral and physical effects, making it suitable for various times of day depending on dosage. The strain has gained particular attention for its complex terpene expression that combines earthy, diesel, and sweet berry notes. While not as widely available as mainstream commercial strains, Muddy Buddy has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its reliable effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Muddy Buddy Strain Growing Information
Muddy Buddy is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to medium height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Muddy Buddy responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. The plants benefit from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
