The Big Bud strain is best known for its extremely impressive yield, but that is not its only amazing feature. This strain has also been extremely carefully cultivated, tried, and tested, for many years and is an impressive Indica pedigree.
It all began in the USA before the strain was taken to Holland in the 80s. This was due to the War On Drugs which caused fear in American breeders who thought that they may lose some rare and irreplaceable strains, and so they were sent to the Netherlands.
The first of its kind was a sturdy Afghanica with some Skunk genes which produced an unexpectedly high yield. This strain quickly became immensely popular and spread rapidly throughout the breeding community creating several other amazing strains.
Sensi were then able, in the 1990s, able to bring Big Bud back to its roots with some back-crossing in order to create the fruity, sweet, high producing strain that is now available to the public.
The buds on this plant can grow so thick and sturdy that they can actually bend and snap the branches , and so the most promising branches should have wire supports to ensure maximum growth.
This original strain is sold in regular seeds simply meaning that it has had no further alterations to its genetic make up. Many breeders and growers still prefer to use regular seeds since the genetics of the strain are still in their original form.
Regular strains are often more stable and reliable and are frequently used by those who wish to try to introduce marijuana back into the wild.
It is also true that for most breeders the easiest way to breed and control the quality of a future crop is to be able to select a male and a female plant. Regular seeds grow into a roughly 50/50 split of males and females, often leaning more towards the side of the females.
This way the very best male and female can be selected as the parent plants to ensure the quality of future crops.
This strain thrives best in sunny and Mediterranean environments, has average height game, has a flowering period of 50 - 65 days, and is 85% Indica.
Please remember that the growing of cannabis plants and the cultivation of seeds is illegal in some countries - please check the laws of your country and don't be growing any plants if it is against your country's laws
