Buck has balanced effects.

Buck is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar bred from the crossing of Original Glue and Triangle Mints. Cultivated for its robust performance, this strain requires a moderate level of grower expertise and demonstrates high yields within a 70-day flowering cycle. It is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a consistent growth pattern that has established its reliability among various cultivation setups.

The chemical profile of Buck is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, and bisabolol. This dominant inclusion of caryophyllene sets a distinct foundation for its terpene profile, which is further nuanced by the secondary effects of myrcene and limonene. Together, these compounds create a specific sensory experience characterized by the interplay of these seven terpenes, ensuring a complex aromatic and flavor structure.

As a THC-dominant strain, Buck is sought after for its ability to produce creative, uplifted, and euphoric effects. These properties make it a functional choice for social engagements, tasks requiring deep focus, or activities centered on creative output. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its notable offspring, which include Building 7, Mocking Bird, Oklo, and The Last OG, all of which reflect traits inherited from their parental line.
