Puna Budder Auto

Puna Budder is a 70/30 indica testing at 18% THC with a caryophyllene-dominant terpene profile. At a practical level, this means a plant that stays compact with tight internodal spacing and develops dense, resin-coated flower clusters that finish in 50-60 days. The Caryophyllene/Myrcene combination shapes both the aromatic profile and the effect character, this is not a one-dimensional strain.

Flowering time: 50-60 days from flip. Indoor yield at 600+ PPFD: up to 250 g/m2. Outdoor in full sun with 5+ gallon containers: up to 300 g/plant. Plant height indoors after training: Short. Feed EC targets: 1.0-1.4 in veg, 1.4-1.8 in peak flower. pH range: 6.0-6.5 in soil, 5.8-6.2 in coco. Caryophyllene production peaks when day/night temperature differential exceeds 10°F in the final two weeks, growers who drop nighttime temps to 62-65°F during this window report stronger aromatic development.

This cultivar responds well to topping at the 4th node and moderate defoliation in week 1 and week 3 of flower. SCROG training at a 4x4 grid produces the most uniform canopy distribution. Rated intermediate difficulty.

At 18% THC, Puna Budder delivers relaxed, euphoric, creative, calm effects with a caryophyllene-influenced character. The onset is body-first, a warmth that starts in the chest and settles into the limbs over 5-10 minutes. At moderate doses, you remain conversational and present. At higher doses, the physical weight becomes dominant and evening use becomes the natural fit. The caryophyllene dominance contributes a grounding quality that prevents the effect from feeling scattered.

Dominant terpenes: Caryophyllene (primary), Myrcene (secondary), Bisabolol (tertiary). This combination produces a nose that develops complexity through the cure, expect the primary caryophyllene character to emerge first, with myrcene and bisabolol notes adding layers over 3-4 weeks in jars.

Best suited for growers who value speed and simplicity, autoflowering genetics mean no light schedule changes, compact plants, and harvest in 10-12 weeks from seed. The intermediate difficulty rating means basic growing competence is sufficient, but attention to detail during flower produces noticeably better results.
