Hybrid

Origin

Buddha's Sister is Reclining Buddha crossed with Afghani Hawaiian, bred by Soma Seeds and first released as Soma Skunk V+. The Afghani Hawaiian side is where the resin load comes from; Reclining Buddha carries the cerebral lift. It has one descendant on file. Soma's records track the line under whichever name it carries.

About

Buddha's Sister was once sold as Soma Skunk V+, and the rename is what gave it an audience.

Soma Seeds in the Netherlands crossed Reclining Buddha with Afghani Hawaiian. The result is an 80 percent indica valued mostly for how much resin it throws, enough to gum up a grinder or press into finger hash. Cherry candy on the nose leads into a long creative-then-heavy high.

It is a hash-maker's plant.

What to Expect

Buddha's Sister runs cerebral and creative before the body catches up. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 70 percent of a solid sample, with happy at 50 and a matching euphoric note. Sources say the head stays busy longer than most indicas manage, with sleepiness arriving late at 38 percent.

Dry mouth is on the high side at 31 percent, with dry eyes at 18 and the harder notes all low. A moderate dose keeps it comfortable. Past a light amount it is no longer a daytime option.

Flavor and Aroma

Buddha's Sister is a woody smell with a cherry-candy top note and a light skunk underneath. The flavor turns earthier, with lime and a tobacco edge. It is a distinctive, faintly savory take on a candy profile.

Terpenes Explained

Buddha's Sister has no terpene test in our data, with only Caryophyllene named.

The cherry-candy character sits in lighter compounds a standard panel does not report, and the strain's real signature is the sheer amount of resin it produces. A sticky, genuinely fragrant jar is the marker of a good one.

Cannabinoids and Potency

Buddha's Sister THC is reported from about 19 to 22 percent, a solidly strong band, with no clean lab sample in our data. CBD sits near one percent, with a little CBC alongside.

Buddha's Sister is a moderately strong strain grown mainly for resin, so its value to a smoker is the busy head as much as the number.
