Buddha Haze is not a difficult strain to grow. Its stalks are quite sturdy in spite of the stretch it undergoes during the blossoming phase. If anything, users only need to manage its height regularly as well as harvest it at the right time.
Because of its tall structure, Buddha Haze works best with the Screen of Green method. By installing a screen a few feet above the batch, growers can nip any branches that go beyond the screen easily. This will not only produce an even canopy but also encourage more colas. Pruning also helps distribute nutrients, light, and air better.
Indoors, growers may choose between different types of medium such as soil, coco coir, and hydroponics. The first produces a tastier terpene profile while the the soilless set-ups produce ‘cleaner’ buds that are free of chemicals. Its flowering period that usually lasts anywhere between 11 to 13 weeks. Although long, the plant rewards patient growers with at least 350 to 450 grams of buds per square meter.
Like other Sativa-dominant strains, it prefers a warm Mediterranean climate where the light breeze blows through its branches, strengthening it in the process. The long hours of the day also provide adequate sunlight to plants hence a higher yield.

This is not to say that the plant will not do well in the cooler temperatures and short days of the northern hemisphere. Rather, growers will have to extend the flowering period up to the middle of November so the plants can soak up a little more sunlight. Once ready for harvest, it yields at least 450 grams per plant.
