Laughing Buddha grows up to 200 cm and will have to be topped early during the vegetative stage to keep its height manageable. However, growers will have to be careful while pruning the plant as it can stunt the spacing between its nodes as well as bud growth.
In addition, growers should provide support to its lanky stalks through staking. This will keep it from drooping under the weight of its large buds and colas or, in the case of outdoor growers, from being blown away by harsh winds.
Indoors, Laughing Buddha has a flowering time of 10 to 12 weeks. Although the wait is long, each square meter of plants will yield 450 to 650 grams of buds.
Based on its landrace lineage, outdoor cultivation means that it flourishes better in a warm or tropical climate along with consistent daytime sunlight. For this reason, it flowers quite late – around the second to fourth week of October – in countries that have four seasons and limited day time. However, it will surprise its growers with an abundant yield of 650 grams of buds per plant.
