Buddha Tahoe
Buddha Tahoe
Also known as: Buddha Tahoe OG, Tahoe OG Kush
Overview
Buddha Tahoe is a highly potent indica-dominant cannabis strain created by Big Buddha Seeds through reversing The Cali Connection's Tahoe OG Kush cutting. This strain represents the modern evolution of classic American OG Kush genetics, combining the robust characteristics of its parent strains to create a powerful and distinctive variety. The strain gained significant recognition in the cannabis community when it won third place at the 2011 High Times Cannabis Cup, establishing its reputation among premium cannabis cultivars.
The strain exhibits the classic OG Kush characteristics with enhanced potency and improved stability. Buddha Tahoe plants are medium-height with a compact, bushy structure suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The buds are dense and extremely resinous, displaying broad bright green leaves mixed with lime hues and vibrant orange pistils, all covered in a thick coating of crystalline trichomes. The plant's robust genetics make it relatively resilient while maintaining the distinctive sharp, pungent characteristics that define quality kush varieties.
Buddha Tahoe's complex terpene profile creates a distinctive sensory experience that begins with intense citrus aromas and evolves into earthy, hash-like undertones. The strain's unique combination of limonene-forward brightness with traditional kush fuel notes makes it stand out among similar varieties. Its exceptional resin production and potent effects have earned it the nickname 'The Don Corleone of Highs' from its breeders, reflecting both its power and commanding presence in the cannabis world.

Growing Information
Buddha Tahoe is moderately challenging to grow, suitable for intermediate to experienced cultivators. Indoor flowering time is 8-9 weeks (56-65 days), with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late October. Indoor yields range from 300-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 550-1200 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers warm, Mediterranean-like climates with temperatures between 21-26°C (70-79°F). Humidity should be maintained at 50% during vegetative growth and reduced to 40% during flowering to prevent mold. Plants reach medium height and develop a bushy, compact structure with numerous lateral branches. The strain responds well to training techniques like Sea of Green (SOG) and benefits from regular pruning to control humidity and improve airflow.
