Where does the BC God Bud strain come from?
BC God Bud was bred in British Columbia by BC Bud Depot, which lists its lineage as God × Hawaiian × Purple Skunk. Leafly shortens the family tree to Hawaiian × Purple Skunk, and some seed sites add an unnamed BC indica. All of them agree that a Hawaiian line brings the fruity, tropical side and Purple Skunk brings the heavy indica body.
BC God Bud put Canadian growing on the map in 2004, when BC Bud Depot's entry took first place in the Indica Cup at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, ahead of MK Ultra and L.A. Confidential. The strain is sold under both names, God Bud and BC God Bud; the BC prefix simply marks it as BC Bud Depot's British Columbia line.
Why choose regular BC God Bud seeds?
Regular BC God Bud seeds are the choice for growers who want males for breeding or a wide pool of females to pick a keeper mother from. About half of regular seeds grow into male plants, which shed pollen instead of making buds. Growers remove males before they open, or keep a strong one to cross BC God Bud with another strain.
Sex shows before bloom. BC God Bud plants reveal pre-flowers at the stem joints after a few weeks of veg: small sacs mean male, wispy white hairs mean female.

How do you grow BC God Bud seeds?
BC God Bud seeds grow into a moderate, indica-shaped plant: germinate several seeds, sex them during veg and remove the males, flower the females for 8 to 9 weeks, and watch humidity in the dense buds.
- GerminateAbout 1 week
Start a few more BC God Bud seeds than the number of females you want, since roughly half will be male.
- Vegetate4–6 weeks indoors
Look for pre-flowers at the nodes and pull or isolate the BC God Bud males before their pollen sacs open.
- Flower8–9 weeks
BC God Bud stays fairly compact in bloom; cool nights late in flower can bring out purple tones from the Purple Skunk side.
- HarvestWeek 8–9 indoors · mid-October outdoors
Harvest when most trichomes are cloudy with some amber for the heavier, sleepier effect BC God Bud is known for.
Grow tips for BC God Bud
- Sex early, sex carefully. One open male can seed a whole BC God Bud crop. Check the nodes every few days once plants are a month old.
- Keep the best female as a mother. Regular BC God Bud seeds give you a range of phenotypes. Clone the females before bloom and keep the one with the best smell and structure.
- Breed with a chosen male. A vigorous BC God Bud male with a compact frame is useful for passing on its Cup-winning indica traits to a new cross.
- Guard dense buds from mold. Indica-dominant BC God Bud colas pack tight. Thin inner leaves and keep humidity under about 50% in late flower.
- Use cool nights for color. A night drop of a few degrees in the last two weeks can pull purple hues out of some BC God Bud plants without slowing ripening.

Dave Jackson –
Good-tasting, minty strain! I adore its fragrant character! It was also quite easy to cultivate outside and produced abundant quantities for me. I harvested about 900 grams of buds from it, but it grows quickly. The flavor is pleasant; it tastes like earthy, fragrant pine. This is one of a good number of seeds available from Beaver Seeds. I heartily recommend this website due to its excellent merchandise and customer service.
Florencio Linzy –
God Bud Regular has bright green trichomes and thick buds. It grows short, but it gave me almost 900 grams of bud. I enjoy the taste, which reminds me of earthy, sweet pine, and the high, which is epic and soothing, gets me thinking very buzzy thoughts, making me want to sketch!
Harold Ham –
Since I always loved for mint-flavored strains, BC God is my chosen one! It also gave me heavy yields in just a few weeks! Her leaves and buds are vibrant green; it has yellow-orange pistils and dripping resins! The scent was slightly too earthy and sweet! The Quality was all out and fantastic! I always loved its inspiring effects, it makes me always productive.
