Buzz Light Gear
Also known as: Dr. Krippling's Buzz Light Gear
Overview
Buzz Light Gear, also known as Dr. Krippling's Buzz Light Gear, is a 100% pure sativa strain created by British breeder Dr. Krippling Seeds through crossing three legendary genetics: Amnesia Haze, Kali Mist, and G13 Haze. This strain was specifically bred for connoisseurs and represents a carefully crafted selection of the world's best pure sativa breeds, crossed and back-crossed in precise combinations to bring out the optimal traits from each parent strain. The strain is known for its exceptional trichome production, forming crystal-laden calyxes stacked upon each other, with strong overtones of classic hazes and an undertone of orange bud. Buzz Light Gear produces fat, oversized spade-shaped forest green buds with dark leaves, abundant thin orange hairs, and a heavy coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. The strain is marketed as an energizing daytime variety that provides mental clarity and focus without the heavy sedative effects, though experienced users note it can still induce relaxation at higher doses. Despite its playful name referencing the Toy Story character, this is considered a serious strain with potent effects and impressive yields.

Growing Information
Buzz Light Gear is considered a moderately challenging strain to grow, requiring patience and experience due to its long flowering time. Indoor cultivation requires 10-12 weeks of flowering time, while outdoor plants need until late October to early November in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain produces impressive yields of 400-800 grams per square meter indoors and 650-1400 grams per plant outdoors. As a pure sativa, it requires substantial vertical growing space and can become quite tall. Some growers report issues with weak branches in late flowering that may need support, and the strain can be prone to mold and dampness issues in humid conditions. The plants tend to become leafy and bushy during late flowering, requiring careful maintenance. Only available as feminized seeds, this strain is best suited for experienced growers who can provide the extended flowering time and proper environmental controls needed for optimal results.
