Growing Big Bud Strain of Medical Marijuana
The Big Bud cannabis strain can be grown indoors or outdoors in warm climates. These plants can grow to be over 5 feet high in height. So, some prefer to grow it outdoors for maximum height potential.
However, some expert growers suggest creating a hydroponic setup indoors for growing Big Bud. This method not only develops massive-sized buds, but the stalks are extremely thick as well. This is necessary for the stalks to be able to hold up the weight of the massive flowers.
Because the stalks are so thick, it’s wise to provide support for them using tensioned strings or wires. Big Bud is a pretty easy strain to grow. But, for the best outcome, you need to top and bend the plants early on to encourage better horizontal growth.
Big Bud Flowering
When growing Big Bud indoors, the expected yield will be between 12 to 20 ounces per square meter. Including curing time, it should take about 7-9 weeks for the plants to flower completely. For the best results, be sure to provide support at areas where the branches become very heavy. This will prevent them from snapping or bending.
Using hydroponics and a method known as Sea of Green will help the plants yield the most, according to experts. Indoors, you’ll need an ideal lighting set up in an indoor grow tent. This will allow more light to penetrate the parts of the plant that are hard to reach as it grows.
Growing Big Bud outside is possible as well, although this plant thrives best in sunny, Mediterranean-like climates. This will yield you about 25 ounces or more per plant, with harvesting taking place in October.
Big Bud produces high yields for both home cultivators and commercial growers. It also produces some of the largest flowers on the retail cannabis market. This indica strain produces very few leaves, so the majority of the plant is consumable, smokable marijuana. Very few other strains of cannabis can touch its legendary productivity.
Big Bud delivers a truly relaxing feeling to the user, which affects the brain and the entire body. Known as a “go to sleep” strain, it’s more of a nighttime high. That’s because once you pass out, you’ll be out like a baby for hours.
Origin of Big Bud Feminized Strain
The Big Bud strain of cannabis is not new; it’s been around for quite a while now. Although its exact origin is unknown, there’s a popular story behind it. According to marijuana history, it originated in the U.S. during the latter part of Nixon’s administration.
It supposedly made its way to the Netherlands before the country’s war on drugs cracked down on cannabis. Some expected this marijuana strain to disappear altogether. Instead, however, it was genetically stabilized. Others believe the origins of Big Bud can be traced to the following cannabis strains:
