Big Bud doesn’t play games. The name isn’t just catchy. It’s a straight-up warning. This strain has been stacking jars and bending branches since the late 1980s. If you’re growing for yield, good luck finding something that hits harder.
We’re talking massive colas, thick with trichomes and dense enough to make your scale beg for mercy. And yes, she leans indica, but don’t expect to get flattened. Big Bud keeps things smooth. You’ll feel it in your body first, then that soft mental lift creeps in and just makes the day easier to deal with.
If you want a plant that delivers weight without the drama, this one’s it. Easy to grow, fun to smoke, and still standing tall after decades in the game.
Big Bud comes from absolute legends: Afghan, Northern Lights, and Skunk #1. That lineup reads like the cannabis Hall of Fame. It started in the US and got dialed in by Dutch breeders. It quickly became the go-to for growers who wanted volume without sacrificing quality.
Back in the day, it completely flipped expectations. Suddenly, you could get monster yields without growing a monster plant. People lost their minds. They still do.
Don’t let the size fool you. Big Bud might look like a couchlock heavyweight, but she’s got manners. The high is warm, steady, and balanced. Think body-first and brain-second. Great for melting tension, crushing stress, or just leveling out after a long day.
The flavour? Earthy with a kick of spice. Not too loud, but it sticks with you. There’s that old-school skunky sweetness too, the kind that coats your mouth and lingers like a lazy Sunday.
Big Bud usually lands somewhere between 16 and 20 percent THC. Not the strongest thing on the shelf these days, but definitely strong enough. Especially when you’re packing cones the size of 100 cm baby carrots. CBD is pretty low, which keeps the high clean and classic. No fuzz. No muddle.
Myrcene leads the charge here, bringing that full-body chill and musky, herbal depth. Caryophyllene chips in with a peppery edge and potential anti-inflammatory perks. Then there's a touch of limonene to brighten things up and stop you from fully melting into the cushions.
Beginner-friendly. Pro-approved. Big Bud is easy to work with and forgiving if you slip up now and then. She’s tough, stable, and focused on one thing only: producing huge, fat buds.
The only heads-up? She gets so heavy in flower that you might need to support the branches. Seriously. She can and will collapse under her own success.
Big Bud shines indoors. She loves structure. If you give her a bit of training like topping or ScrOG, or even just spread her arms a bit, she’ll reward you with insane bud coverage. Indoors, she typically reaches between 100 cm and 150 cm.
Outdoors, she does well in warmer climates around 21 °C. If you're somewhere dry with lots of sun, she’ll absolutely blow up. Just make sure she stays dry during flower. Those chunky colas are dense, and dense means mould risk if it gets too wet. Expect her to reach anywhere from 150 cm to 300 cm outside.
She’s not in a rush. Expect eight to nine weeks of flowering indoors. Outdoors, she’s usually ready to chop by late September or early October.
Now here’s the kicker. Yields. Indoors, you’re looking at 400 gram to 600 gram, which puts her right in the 200 to 300 gram per m2 range for casual growers, and she can easily hit 300 grams per m2 or more with the right setup. Outdoors? You could pull anywhere from 600 gram to 800 gram, landing comfortably in the 350 to 450 gram per plant range and even touching 400 grams per plant in ideal conditions. It’s not hype. She really is that productive.
If you're serious about getting the most out of your grow, Big Bud is a no-brainer. She’s reliable, generous, and easy to handle. Exactly what you want when you’re filling jars, not just chasing hype.
