What is the Velvet Bud strain?
Velvet Bud is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Velvet Bud is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Dutch Treat and Blueberry strains, though a variant by Seedsman was developed as a combination of Purple Skunk and Dutch Treat. This strain was designed by the reputable Seedsman with a heritage that leans heavily toward sativa, promising an energetic and uplifting experience. Velvet Bud has a smooth long-lasting high, rich full-bodied effects, and dreamy trichome-covered nugs, with each blue-green nug having rich purple undertones and bright orange hairs that are completely coated in tiny light blue crystal trichomes that are soft and sticky to the touch.
The strain is visually impressive, with medium to large, well-formed flowers ranging from roughly spherical to more elongated and cylindrical shapes. Although genetically mostly sativa, these flowers adhere in a dense, characteristically indica structure, with small leaves that curl tightly inward toward their central stems. The leaves are a dark shade of forest green, although some phenotypes can boast surprising flashes of deep purple. The buds are typically dense and wrapped in a thick layer of crystal-like trichomes, giving them a frosty, velvety shimmer, while the plant exhibits classic sativa traits including elongated internodes, tall and lanky stature, and prominent leaf structures. Growing Velvet Bud is considered moderately easy, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers due to its resilience to common pests and diseases.
