Flavor & Aroma
God Bud is known for a layered bouquet that blends earthy and floral notes with sweet berry and grape highlights. On the inhale, many notice a lush, tropical-tinged sweetness (likely influenced by its Hawaiian lineage), while the exhale can show pine and spice.
The terpene profile often centres on myrcene for the earthy, relaxing character, supported by caryophyllene’s warm spice, pinene’s fresh forest accents, and a touch of linalool that can present as lavender-like floral tones.
Genetics & Lineage
God Bud was popularized by BC Bud Depot in British Columbia, Canada. The cultivar is commonly reported as a cross of God x Hawaiian x Purple Skunk, resulting in an indica-leaning profile that combines tropical sweetness, resin-heavy structure, and dark, sometimes purple hues.
