Laughing Buddha a happiness bomb by Barney’s Farm
Laughing Buddha is the marijuana strain with which Barney’s Farm won the 2003 High Times Cannabis Cup, surprising all the attendees with its extraordinary quality. This plant has brightly colored genetics and an impressive morphology, making it stand out from other strains not only for its appearance but also for its excellent taste and powerful effects.
This hybrid strain, predominantly sativa, is the result of a meticulous cross between Thai and Jamaican strains. Its structure is robust and vigorous, with dense and resinous buds emanating an exotic and sweet aroma. Many define it as one of the best marijuana plants in the world.
A jewel for connoisseurs
Undoubtedly, for those who like showy marijuana plants, Laughing Buddha is a must-grow specimen. This peculiar cannabis plant is distinguished by the formation of its buds, which grow on top of each other in a columnar manner, creating a visually striking appearance. The buds, with their characteristic deep purple color, stand out not only for their appearance but also for their density and the amount of resin they contain. This compact, columnar growth of the buds gives the plant its distinctive “purple bomb” appearance, making Laughing Buddha a favorite choice for cannabis enthusiasts who value both aesthetics and quality.
Behavior and structure
Laughing Buddha grows quickly and very vigorously. During flowering, it stretches considerably, so it usually needs pruning or support in outdoor crops, or a very good management technique indoors. At the end of flowering, the plant is full of long, heavy colas dripping with trichomes. Growers have noted that this variety not only meets the yields specified by the breeder, which are 450 gr/m2, but in the hands of expert growers, it can even exceed them.
Resulting from a cross between Thai and Jamaican varieties, its genetics are mainly sativa, so it is to be imagined that takes up a lot of space. Outdoors, it can reach 2.5 meters without any problem. And having a fairly long flowering period of up to 91 days, it develops an intense and spacious height with large parasols.
It can also be grown indoors. Because of its growth and branching, it is a good choice for SCROG (Screen of Green) cultivation. But it is not for everyone: these two factors, size and flowering period, make it not recommended for novice growers.
Laughing Buddha has an eccentric taste and aroma
What can we say about the organoleptic properties of this marijuana strain! It has a distinctive aroma, strongly sweet and spicy, while its taste is described as strongly sour, sweet and grassy, like lemon, pineapple and citrus. This combination is eccentrically delicious to those who have tried it.
For social situations, Laughing Buddha
Laughing Buddha is a psychoactive variety, with 18% of THC. The effect is tremendously cerebral and social. It is also very fast and persistent, and usually lasts about two to three hours. You could say that a few puffs of Laughing Buddha is a non-stop trip to happiness.
This variety is ideal for social situations, with friends or partying: to laugh and be happy, euphoric and creative. However, when smoked too much, its effect can become narcotic. With a normal consumption, it will only dry your mouth a little bit, but it has no other disadvantages.
Laughing Buddha is available in its feminized version in our online grow shop.
