Anyone know the genetics of this strain? Got a freebie, just dropped it in soil a day ago, wonder what I will be trying to grow. I looked on the CC site and forum, no really clue on the % of sativa/indica on this one.

the budda tahoe is basically just a pheno found out of a regular pack of tahoe og seeds..

to me it's pretty much the same identical strain as the tahoe og, although i'm sure some people will argue this point with me, but from what i understand, swerve entered the tahoe og into the cannabis cup a year prior, and only got an honerable mention for his efforts, so in order to amp up some hype over the 'new' strain, he gave it the catchy name of budha tahoe as he thought it would be a bit more catchy then plain old tahoe og, and what do you know?? it worked...

not trying to knock either the budha or the regular tahoe as it's a fire strain, i just don't like the idea of selling 2 strains that are identical to each other in all ways except for a name change..

I'm growing femmed Buddha Tahoe right now as we speak in about 3rd week of flowering no hermie issues. Only thing about this strain is you have to constantly make sure she is happy because if you even LOOK at her wrong she will show signs of stress

The first releases of the Buddha Tahoe was just S1s of the Tahoe OG clone, that lasted only a month or 2. The new version is King Louis XII x Tahoe OG. I've got one going right now and its got amazing growth. If you got the freebie from Attitude, its the King Louis cross.

Swerve just wants everyone to think there's Louie in it because he got some criticism for Buddha Tahoe and the Tahoe s1s being the same thing. So all of a sudden it's not just tahoe, it's got Louie in it too. He also has a pic of someone elses tahoe from the regs and claims it's buddha tahoe. He played the same shit with the Chem 4s. Chem 4 s1s were supposed to be accidentally mis-labeled Chem4og on Attitude and all the other retailers. Then shit hit the fan with herms so he claimed he pulled them from the shelves. When someone on his forums asked why they were still up for sale if he pulled them, Swerve responded saying those aren't Chem 4 s1s, NOW all of a sudden they're chem4/OG fems. Lies about mis labeling lies about genetics lies about dealings with Big Buddha. Anyone that has took the time to read the shit that guy says, there are more holes in his stories than swiss cheese.

I have read a lot of Racerboy's posts bc he has helped me a lot without knowing it, but the story of Buddha Tahoe OG is something that I know because this has been my favorite OG of all times (and it did win 3rd place in the overall division of the 2011 Cannabis Cup.) The thing is a pack(s) of Tahoe OG went to & were grown out by Big Buddha Seeds (I'm not sure if they put anything into it?) whom released their Tahoe OG.. Swerve and those guys then got a copy of Big Buddha's Tahoe and bred it to come out as a newer strain. It use to have it's own picture in the breeders' description as well as on Attitude but when they made their new crappy site, the pictures for both strains are now identical, their site is very unorganized/lazy. But you will notice the Tahoe OG and the Buddha Tahoe OG having seperate prices, which is odd for Cali Connection bc they usually stick around the same ballpark price (except fro their new stuff.) The truth is Tahoe OG (Cali Connect) is an SFV OG Kush hit (pollinated) by the Tahoe cut, the "Buddha" comes in when the Tahoe OG is "selfed." This is the only difference in the 2 but the Buddha Tahoe is far more appealing and just as strong IMO. The 'selfed' Tahoe OG (Buddha Tahoe OG) is an idea Swerve 'borrowed' from Big Buddha seeds, with their knowledge... and possibly collaboration. I know selfing a strain doesn't necessarily make it a whole new strain, but that's the difference in the 2.I see no difference in the two other than a slightly heavier resin production in the selfed version.
Check out their descriptions. And thanx for the help in the past Racerboy, good growin!!

Agreed swerve is just a liar one lie leads to another..i had the tahoe from the attitude b-day promo along with the other freebees they all germed but the tahoe..i tried his cvk it was nothing special..i feel there is alot more solid gear out there but hey your paying for the 'name'..Capt you know what i am talking about that weasel streight told me to learn how to grow,and it usually is operator error when his gear hermies or dont pop..that guy is gonna be the death of that company..

I'd like to see some links from the people claiming that there are a lot of reports of Buddha Tahoe having hermie problems.

If you got the seed before mid-January then it would just be Tahoe OG with a new name.

If you got the seed after mid-January then it is Louie XIII x Tahoe OG (reversed)

im not going to go find links that show cali connection has a bad rap for hermies go do it yourself its easy enough to find them..if you have information that you think is valuable about the strain or company feel free to post it but if not then dont go saying someone else is wrong without backing it up.... now to forgetiwashere- i did the same man popped the freebie gonna give em a personal chance but i just dont have high hopes because of the general talk of the town ya no?!! good luck with urs mines sitting at about 4 inches now,and heres some claims from my own plant so far stak ...its not growing as fast as the rest and the first 2 three blade fan leaves are cut or split kinda deformed!!!! not off to a good start, but doesnt mean anything yet i shall see how it goes

loads of ppl complain about cc shit herming,just google that shit,youll find plenty of compliants,especially with his fems.
but swerve claims when it comes to fems its always 50/50 whether they herm or not,which is bullshit,unless you dont make um right.

@kermit... yeah i will give em a chance. i honestly can't see them being as bad as everyone is saying. there company wouldn't last long if its true. i think swerve is a total douche canoe though. i have seen a lot of his posts where he contradicts himself or just plain makes an arse of himself and i think a lot of the claims are probably just started by people that don't like the guy. anyway like i said its a free seed and i won't miss the space it takes up so its on. it won't take long to see results in the water farm.

@resin... i agree its definitely not 50/50 when done right. Barneys farm is one company i can tell you right now you won't get a herm in there fems they have got it down pat. i have grown a few of there strains and they have all been the goods.

I guess you both missed my point. I could care less about the other CC strains because that's not what is being discussed. If you guys want to claim that Buddha Tahoe may be hermie prone because of the past CC beans thats fine, but you haters are flat out saying that the Buddha Tahoe has hermie problems without any proof.
