Big Bud is a highly regarded Indica-dominant cannabis strain renowned for its cerebral high and physical relaxation. Originating in the US in the 1980s, it gained popularity through underground channels and eventually found its way to the Netherlands for stabilization. This strain boasts sticky, resinous buds with THC levels ranging from 15% to 20%. Its lineage includes Haze, Northern Lights, and Afghani genetics. Big Bud induces feelings of euphoria and elation followed by deep physical relaxation, often leading to couch-lock and sleepiness. Its earthy and spicy aroma with fruity undertones enhances its appeal. Big Bud is favored for evening use and is particularly beneficial for relieving pain, anxiety, stress, depression, and PTSD. Cultivation is relatively straightforward, with optimal yields achieved outdoors in warm climates. Indoor growers can expect 12 to 20 ounces per square meter after 7 to 9 weeks of flowering, while outdoor yields can exceed 25 ounces per plant by October harvest.
