Rock Bud
Also known as: Rockbud, A+
Rock Bud Strain Overview
Rock Bud, also commonly known as 'A+' among medical patients, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created by Soma Seeds through a complex four-way cross of Super Skunk, Afghani, Big Skunk Korean, and Afghan Hawaiian genetics. This heavyweight strain was bred to combine the robust qualities of its renowned parent strains into a potent and deeply relaxing experience. The strain derives its name from the exceptionally dense, rock-hard appearance of its buds, which are typically small to medium-sized, popcorn-shaped, and extremely compact. Rock Bud features bright neon green nugs with patches of light minty green coloration, rich dark amber pistils, and a thick coating of frosty white crystal trichomes that speak to its potency. During flowering, the leaves develop a distinctive characteristic where they darken to deep red as the plants mature, creating a stunning visual display of red, green, yellow, and purple colors. While yields tend to be on the lighter side, connoisseurs appreciate the exceptional quality these fast-blooming plants produce, with flowering times typically ranging from 9-10 weeks. The strain is particularly noted for its high resin production and dense cola formation, making it a favorite among extract artists and hash makers.

Rock Bud is a resilient and relatively easy-to-grow strain suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The plants develop in a classic indica growth style with short, bushy structure and tight internode spacing.
