Big Bud (Auto)

Big Bud has long been famous as the benchmark for high-performance indica and Big Bud Automatic is the latest update to the definitive heavy strain. These feminized cannabis seeds produce vigorous, easy-growing plants which flower automatically and quickly develop large, solid, highly potent buds. Big Bud Automatic is Sensi Seeds top-yielding autoflowering variety! The original Big Bud clone which travelled from the USA to Holland in the 1980s was a vigorous Afghan-Skunk hybrid which produced huge, heavy flower clusters. The project to turn that single female plant into a stable cannabis seed strain began by pollinating the Big Bud clone with cannabis varieties that were very similar to its parent plants. This produced two early hybrids, Big Bud x Skunk #1 and Big Bud x Northern Lights #1, which both proved very popular. Eventually, an example of the clone’s original Afghan parent - a bulky hash plant cultivar - was obtained, which made it possible to backcross and stabilize! Normally cultivated indoors under lights, Big Bud Automatic can also grow outdoors in sunny climates, and its autoflowering ability allows it to bloom successfully in unusual or irregular light cycles. Plants begin flowering around the time they produce their seventh to ninth pair of true leaves, which is usually about 6 to 8 weeks after germination. Because the onset of the bloom cycle is predictable, growers can time the germination of Big Bud Automatic seeds so that flowering coincides with the warmest, brightest months of their local growing season. This heavy indica produces most of its yield on the main stem and upper branches. Big Bud Automatic should not be ‘topped’ to increase budding sites, as a plant’s vegetation period can’t be extended to allow the regeneration of pruned branches. Similarly, light cycle manipulation will not increase or decrease the final height of this strain, due to its autoflowering ability. Plants’ maximum height is largely predetermined, and the easiest way to minimize their final height is by pruning them late in the growing phase. After 7 to 9 weeks of flowering, plants typically range in height from 2.5ft to 5ft and are weighed down with an outstanding harvest of mature, resinous indica buds. Like its predecessors, the branches of Big Bud Automatic may need to be supported during the later flowering phase in order to prevent them breaking under their own weight! Resin coverage is thick across the surface area of the buds and is remarkably profuse even within their tightly-clustered structure. When dried, Big Bud Automatic’s giant, sparkling flower clusters have a rich bouquet and flavor from their Afghan and Skunk ancestry; sweet, pungent, fruity and musky aromas give way to a strong undercurrent of crisp, resinous hash. The sticky trichomes encrusting the buds impart a very powerful physical effect that is brightened and elevated by a cerebral high from Skunk #1’s sativa elements. Big Bud Automatic has a good balance of THC and CBD, making it suitable for a wide range of medicinal applications. Naturally, this strain’s long-lasting, sensual high also makes it a superb variety for recreational enjoyment.It‘s generally ready to harvest 90-100 days from germination and can produce a thc range of 14-17% woth higher than normal cbd ranges of 2-4%.
