Velvet Bud is a revamp of Seedsman's original Purple Skunk strain which has been re-fashioned to produce a much smoother smoking experience - hence the new name Velvet Bud which is a close relative of our Purple Bud. Although very smooth it nonetheless packs quite a punch; its powerful effect results in a very laid-back high which happily also has anti-anxiety properties. Although suitable for growing indoors, outdoors and in a green house its 9 week flowering period is somewhat restrictive for outdoors growers except in warmer regions where the October harvest is not adversely affected by the onset of colder, wetter weather.
Velvet Bud's Skunk influence is reflected in the fairly long side-branching and this quality helps to increase the yield which, while not exactly bumper in size, is certainly more than worthwhile especially when taking into consideration the taste and smoothness of the smoke once cured properly.
