Laughing Buddha

Laughing Buddha is a predominantly sativa variety bred from Thai and Jamaican landrace stock, known for a clear, cerebral lift. With THC typically in the 18–23% range and CBD under 1%, it leans toward an energetic, uplifting high—people report feeling stimulated, focused and creatively engaged rather than sedated. Its aroma and flavor skew sweet and citrusy with tropical fruit notes and a peppery/earthy undercurrent that complements the lively effects. This strain is best suited to growers who can commit to a longer flowering cycle: expect around 10–14 weeks from switch to harvest and an average final height that benefits from support in late bloom. Yield is medium overall; plants produce large, dense, resinous buds but keep growing through flowering so topping or training is often helpful to manage structure and light penetration. Laughing Buddha has a documented history of cup recognition and performs well outdoors in long-season climates (harvests typically in mid-to-late autumn) or indoors with patience and moderate feeding.
