Custom Tips for Growing Easy Bud Successfully

While Easy Bud lives up to its name for an easy grow even for newbies with limited skills, it requires optimization for maximum yields and potency. Here are key strategies custom made for this strain’s grow room traits.

Light Optimization and Space Management

Easy Bud’s small stature is great for space management but could pose a challenge when it comes to lighting.

• Maximize the light intensity to enable penetration to lower bud sites. High intensity lights such as LEDs and HPS not only offer the right intensity but also have the appropriate spectrum potential.
• Ensure all plant parts get even light exposure by using reflectors to bounce light around and diffusers to spread it 
• Increase the length of darkness to promote healthy growth by giving the plants more time to rest and for cannabinoid synthesis during flowering.
• Monitor plant response to light and adjust distances between the top of the canopy and the light accordingly. A PPFD meter app can help with more accurate analysis.

Proper Environmental Control

Proper ventilation, especially in high humidity areas, helps to prevent mold and mildew. Higher humidity levels often lead to bud rot and other fungal infections, while lower humidity cause terpene loss and nutrient uptake issues.

Easy Bud’s short stature benefits greatly and responds well to pruning and defoliating, especially during pre-flower. Removing lower leaves and branches that receive little light improves airflow and tunes the plants to focus on higher potential branches. 

To ensure optimal respiration and metabolism in your plants and avoid the detrimental effects of heat or cold stress, a consistent temperature range is vital. For Easy Bud cannabis seeds, maintain 70-85°F (21-29°C) throughout the vegetative growth and adjust to 65-80°F (18-26°C) during the flowering stage.

Addressing Nutritional Needs

Easy Bud’s short flowering and maturity timelines may present little room for error when it comes to nutritional needs. 

The most critical aspect of this strain’s nutrition is transitioning from vegetative to flowering nutritional regimens. Gradually shift from nitrogen rich feeds to potassium and phosphorus based from the third to the fifth week after germination.

While offering a balanced feed is paramount, proactive monitoring for any signs of deficiency is equally crucial. The most common nutrient issues are calcium and magnesium in certain growing environments. Whenever signs of deficiency appear, a Cal-Mag application quickly resolves the issue.

Growing Characteristics

Why would a strain named Easy Bud be difficult to handle in the grow room? Even novices enjoy seeing the strain flourish with minimal input. The seeds showcase a strong resilience and handle the average grow room setup and tolerable outdoor conditions well.

Paired with resilience is an exceptional adaptability. Easy Bud yields well in most climate conditions that support plant life. It, however, prefers warmer seasons outdoors but can still be grown indoors or in a greenhouse.

Plant Size & Structure

Easy Bud plants exhibit a compact and easy to manage structure that ranges just 50-60 cm when grown indoors. Outdoors, the vertical stretch goes up to 110 cm. This small stature from the Indica dominant genetics is perfect for urban growers with space limitations. It is also great for discreet setups.

Expect to see short internodal spaces and a more bushy spread. The stems are robust and the branches have a sturdy build to carry the densely packed buds.

Flowering Time

With the infusion of ruderalis genetics, Easy Bud is a feminized cannabis strain. This means that it requires no light changes to shift from its vegetative stage into flowering.

Easy Bud typically takes about 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Its flowering time is short and takes just 5-7 weeks to finish before readying for the chop as you flush the growing medium. 

Yield Potential

This strain yields moderately well when grown outdoors with a 300 grams per plant bounty. Expert growers can get it up to a wet weight of about 650 grams per plant, which is about 150 grams in dry weight. Indoor conditions yield between 275 and 325 grams per square meter.

Origin and History

Easy Bud owes its roots to a cross between White Indica and Ruderalis genetics. The impact of White Indica is clearly evident in the genetic makeup. Whereas Ruderalis dictates the flowering with an automatic trait.

This strain is credited to Royal Queen Seeds. The naming is said to have come from either its easy THC content or its easy to grow nature. Some cannabis enthusiasts rumour that this strain shares multiple similarities with White Dwarf to highlight the breeder’s intent.
