White Buffalo
Also known as: Tatanka, WB
Overview
White Buffalo is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (typically 70-80% sativa, 20-30% indica) that has gained legendary status among cannabis connoisseurs for its potent effects and striking appearance. Created through a unique three-way cross of Romulan, Blackberry Kush, and Bay 11, this strain represents a masterful blend of genetics that combines the cerebral stimulation of sativa varieties with subtle indica relaxation. The strain takes its name from the sacred white buffalo, a rare and spiritually significant symbol in Native American cultures of the Great Plains region, reflecting both its rarity and reverence in the cannabis community.
Visually, White Buffalo lives up to its namesake with dense, medium-to-large spade-shaped buds that display a striking contrast of light to dark green coloration with vibrant orange pistils threading throughout. The most distinctive feature is its generous coating of frosty white trichomes that give the buds a snow-covered appearance, indicating high cannabinoid content and contributing to its exceptional potency. The buds typically range from small to medium size and maintain the dense structure characteristic of quality hybrid varieties. This strain has become increasingly rare and difficult to find, with authentic seeds being virtually unavailable commercially, making genuine White Buffalo a prized treasure among cultivators and consumers alike.

Growing Information
White Buffalo is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring careful attention to environmental conditions. Indoor flowering time is 8-10 weeks with plants that can stretch significantly in height (up to 6+ feet), necessitating training techniques like topping, LST, or SCROG methods. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. The strain is susceptible to mold and pests due to its dense foliage, requiring proper airflow and humidity management (40-60% during vegetative stage). Indoor yields range from 1.2-1.6 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 1+ pounds per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers intense lighting and benefits from full-spectrum LED panels when grown indoors.
