Reported character

Reported effects include giggly, hungry and sleepy. Individual experiences vary.

Background

We were surprised to find out that not many people have heard about Super Bud, which is an indica-dominant cross between classic strains Big Bud and Skunk.

Aroma

The Super Bud has its own delicious smell that floods from the jar when it's opened. Quite earthy - lots of different smells together make up this delicious cannabis scent.

Taste

Really clean tasting, this taste is one of my personal favourites. It is hard to describe, but this may just be my top tasting strain of 2016. The bud needed curing but after a week or so in the curing jar it tasted lovely.

Effects

Strong indica effects soon after smoking. This sample left my eyes a bit red and I felt relaxed, happy and chilled out. I would say this is a good evening smoke, but as it is not overpowering I also found myself smoking this around lunchtime after a morning's work.

Appearance

Covered in crystals, the grower did a good job with this bud, and I was impressed with the bud formation. Good trim job on the plant.

Conclusion

The Super Bud is a seriously good strain and I really enjoyed reviewing it. Unfortunately, it is long-since-smoked, which is a shame because after writing up this review this morning I'd love to sample another joint of this lovely cannabis strain.

Uncertainty and variation

Cultivar characteristics vary between growers, batches and phenotypes. The archive records a specific reviewed sample — it is not a current product specification.

Reported Effects of Super Bud

Users most commonly report feeling giggly, hungry and sleepy after consuming Super Bud. These subjective effects are drawn from user-reported data and individual experiences vary considerably. The effects profile is influenced by the strain's dominant terpenes — Myrcene (aroma and mood), Limonene (comfort and ease), and Pinene (freshness and energy) — as well as individual tolerance, consumption method and dosage.

Terpene Profile

The dominant terpenes recorded for Super Bud are Myrcene (an earthy, musky profile commonly associated with relaxation and the classic sedative sensation), Limonene (a bright citrus note often linked to elevated mood) and Pinene (a sharp pine aroma linked to alertness and mental clarity). Terpene profiles can vary between phenotypes, growing conditions and curing methods.
