Most people have heard of Big Bud as it has been around for a long time: it won the legendary magazine High Times’ esteemed competition the Cannabis Cup in 1989. This indica-dominant hybrid thanks her name for the enormous buds and high yields she guarantees. Originally this strain was a crossbreed between Skunk#1 and Afghani, but later new genetics – like Northern Lights – were thrown into the mix. These plants are easy to grow indoors and outdoors, and they benefit greatly from Sea of Green setups and hydroponics. They have a short flowering time of around 57 days and will reward you with many high-quality buds. Big Bud packs a spicy, sweet, and earthy aroma, and the flavor is similar but with added hints of grape. The high comes slowly but soon hits you with overwhelming force, so expect laziness, lethargy, sleepy, and couch-lock. This strain will uplifted your day and make you feel euphoric, but this is countered by the physical sedation making you practically unable to move. Its potency makes Big Buds a great medicinal strain for treating chronic stress, insomnia, and pain .
