White Buffalo Strain

This White Buffalo strain review will shine a light on a wonderful pot strain that might just be as rare as the legendary white buffalo of the great plains. While seeds were available for years of this strain, finding feminized seeds or clones can be difficult nowadays.

If you are lucky enough to get your hands on some, it’s smart to establish a breeding batch of your own (which we can help you with here at CTU, of course)! Let’s check out what this strain has to offer above other cannabis strains that are easier to acquire.

Is White Buffalo strain an indica or sativa? It is a sativa dominant hybrid weed strain that is created by crossing Romulan, Blackberry Kush, and Granddaddy Bay 11.

Romulan is an indica-dominant variety that produces an intense cerebral activation that gels well with physical relaxation and sedation.

Blackberry Kush is another indica-dominant cannabis strain that delivers a relaxing experience. The essence is a nice blend of berries and fuel and is a favorite among medical marijuana patients with chronic pain.

Bay 11 is a sativa-dominant strain with mysterious genetics. It’s great for a daytime experience and contributes the energizing sativa experience directly to White Buffalo.

Growers wishing to plant a crop of White Buffalo for their own will be hardpressed to find seeds or clones of this unique cannabis strain. While seeds were readily available for years, the strain has lost its demand, causing breeders to move to other lineages to supply the ever-changing marijuana market.

You may get lucky and find autoflowering varieties of White Buffalo if you search around.

This marijuana may also be hard to find at local dispensaries since seeds are becoming rarer. If you get a chance to purchase some White Buffalo bud, do so immediately and enjoy it while you can. Otherwise, this strain may be a legendary fable like its namesake!

White Buffalo Strain Yield

White Buffalo behaves like a normal sativa that craves intense sunlight for hours on end. It does best near the equator, but that isn’t where most of us are located. Due to this, it can be a great candidate for indoor grows to replicate the environment. These plants will grow quite tall, as sativas typically do.

Training and trimming will be necessary if you are growing this strain indoors. Otherwise, the plants will easily stretch to the height of the lights and beyond. Indoor plants will be best limited to around 3 feet tall while White Buffalo can stretch beyond 6 feet tall when grown outdoors.

Indoor cultivars can expect between 1.2-1.6 ounces of bud per square foot of plant. Outdoor growers can expect upwards of 1 lb per plant.

White Buffalo Strain Flowering Time

White Buffalo has a standard flowering time of 7-9 weeks. Those who live in the US with less sunlight per day than those lucky enough to live near the equator will notice their plants take longer to fully mature.

Indoor growers can harvest in the earlier stages of the flowering period while outdoor growers will probably need to wait until the end.

The buds don’t allude to how nice this strain can be. Instead, the buds are typically quite small and popcorn-like. The colas are mint green with deep orange hairs that do their best to cover the dense layer of trichomes residing below.

Even the trichomes themselves are short and small in stature. Don’t judge a bud by its stature just like you wouldn’t judge a book by its cover!

THC Content

White Buffalo ranges between 15-20% THC. While not overly potent, it is quite an enjoyable high to experience.

The high starts with a happy and euphoric mental buzz that delivers purposeful clarity, However, the potency quickly amps up and the clarity turns to a cerebral haze.

A sense of physical relaxation and sedation creeps up a bit without reducing the energizing mental high that comes with this strain, creating a great sense of ease and motivation.

While it is considered a good daytime bud, it won’t keep you awake as much as other energizing strains. This means it can be used in the evening as well to enjoy the effects without drifting quickly to sleep.

White Buffalo Strain Flavor & Aroma

The aroma seems like you are taking a stroll through a spice garden that combines a spicy floral scent with earthy tones. The flavor is a beautiful blend of sweet, sour, and spicy. It’s focal points are herbal and earthy.

The terpenes that dominate White Buffalo ganja are Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene.

Caryophyllene is a useful anti-inflammatory agent and is unique in its ability to activate our endocannabinoid system. It dominates other strains like GSC and GG4.

Myrcene relaxes consumers and is the most common terpene in popular strains like Blue Dream, OG Kush, and Cherry Pie.

Limonene delivers a citrusy essence and helps consumers fight anxiety and stress. It dominates strains like WiFi OG and Wedding Cake.

Some popular strains with similar ratios of dominant terpenes as White Buffalo include Sour Deisel, Chemdawg, and Platinum Kush strains.

White Buffalo can serve medical users suffering from the following conditions:

  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Chronic Inflammation
  • Depression
  • Fatigue
  • Pains & Aches

Final Words On The White Buffalo Weed Strain

Finding White Buffalo ganja may be as hard as going white buffalo-watching out on the plains. While growing it years ago might have been easy, getting your hands on growing stock can be difficult.

Many popular strains come and go as the cannabis industry changes and evolves. If your local dispensary, nursery, or seed bank happens to offer White Buffalo, take it and enjoy!
