Strain
Not my first time growing Barney’s Farms Laughing Buddha, not my last. This slowly worked my way into my favorites and for now remains #1. Consistently larger yields (within my grow environment) and potent sativa product of utmost quality. This most recent time I didn’t get the big yield I was expecting, but the result was worth growing - superb.
This one is a regular clone of Monster Laughing Buddha 2019 (II). This plant narrowly avoided a huge fungus gnat problem, resisting those pests with the move to 12/12 and stronger fan, and other pest problems that happened later in my veg. tent. Buddha seems to be resistant both indoors and outdoors.
The rush to move to flower did save problems, but also resulted in a smaller plant going into flower. This may have contributed to the smaller yield. That, and the cold temperatures, and maybe other factors I’m discovering as I get better at growing. Other than this, flowering was a breeze.
No issues, plenty of swell and big crystaly bud. Very aesthetically pleasing. It may give other iterations of Buddha a run for their money. Very strong smell of pungent, fuel, not sour diesel, and maybe with some sweet tones this time. Just fantastic.
I would give it a 10/10 on account of the bud quality, but that is only by a hair as the yield was down.
