Big Bud is a well known cannabis strain with an extremely large harvest and with a happy effect. Less known is the fact that this almost pure indica has been carefully refined and constantly improved over years.
First, Big Bud was a hardy afghanica infused with skunk genes. This hybridization possesses incredible strength and record-breaking yield. No surprise, it quickly became a popular commercial marijuana variety. When this original clone made it to Holland, it gave rise to several stable marijuana seed-strains, including a back-cross with Skunk No.1 and a very popular hybrid of 75%Big Bud x 25%Northen Lights No.1.
The current version of Big Bud from the Ministry of Cannabis is a feminized seed which keeps the vigour of the original clone and benefits further from sweet, fruity flavours and a great improvement in potency. It is available only in its female version. Naturally, the enormous production remains the central feature of the Big Bud feminized seed. Plants requiring the full flowering time will grow a little taller and are usually the heaviest-yielding examples. Big Bud’s stems are thick and sturdy, yet the masses of giant, sweet, sparkling buds they produce can grow heavy enough to bend and even snap them, so the most promising branches should be supported with string or tensioned wire.
Being a typical indica, Bid Bud feminized seeds grow into short quickly maturing cannabis plants with a flowering period as short as 7-9 weeks.
The growing difficulty is normal. The plant doesn't need extra care. The effect is stoned high and happy.
