Buddhas Sister is a modern indica cultivar developed through the hybridization of Afghani and Hawaiian parents. This strain is widely credited to have established a significant footprint in the breeding community due to its reliability and distinct genetic profile. It is a productive plant for cultivators, offering a medium yield with a 67-day flowering cycle. Because of its manageable temperament, it is classified as easy to grow and performs consistently in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The chemical complexity of this strain is defined by a diverse terpene profile led by terpinolene, followed in dominance by myrcene, pinene, limonene, and caryophyllene. The secondary and trace terpene composition includes ocimene, beta-pinene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, alpha-terpinene, nerolidol, and gamma-terpinene. These compounds combine to create a multifaceted sensory experience, grounding the high terpinolene content with the earthy, woodsy, and citrus-leaning nuances provided by the subsequent constituents.
As a THC-dominant variety, Buddhas Sister induces effects characterized by a sense of being relaxed, calm, and focused. These qualities make the strain a suitable choice for users seeking relief from pain, stress, or difficulty achieving sleep. The genetic influence of the plant extends to a wide array of notable offspring, including Blue Buddha, Boss's Sister, Buddha's Dream, Buddha's Triplets, Buddhas On Moonshine, CherryFuel, Critical Budha, G13 Haze Buddha's Sister, Somari, and Sour Cherry Kush.
