Quick Stats
Big Bud is an Indica-dominant hybrid with THC around 18–22% (CBD <1%). She flowers in 7–9 weeks (photoperiod, indoors) and yields 500–650 g/m²; outdoors expect up to 700 g per plant. In Australia she’s typically ready late March–early April (Tropics: late Mar • Mid-latitudes: early–mid Apr • South: mid–late Apr). Matty’s tip: crank the breeze in mid–late flower — these bricks need wind, not wishes.
Flavour & Aroma
- On the nose: Bold, earthy funk with peppery spice, then a sweet berry/grape tease as she cures.
- On the tongue: Hashy-diesel on the inhale, smoothing into sweet berry and pine on the exhale—full-bodied and classic.
Matty’s Take: “Spicy fruitcake rolled in skunk—old-school, rich, and just sweet enough to keep you coming back.”
The Legend
Born from a powerhouse trio—Afghani, Skunk, and Northern Lights—Big Bud blew up in the late ’80s and found a second home in the Netherlands, where her outrageous yields turned heads and snapped stakes. Breeders loved her consistency and sheer cargo-load buds, and she’s been a cornerstone of commercial grows ever since.
Funny Fact: Some old heads swear the nickname came from branches “calling in sick” under the weight—no gym membership required.
What to Expect from Big Bud
First wave: a gentle, euphoric lift that clears the head and softens the day’s edges.
Then it settles: a warm, body-heavy calm that unwinds the limbs and invites deep chill — soothing and dreamy without full couch-glue.
Matty’s Take: “One-way ticket to ‘don’t bother me’ island — tension just slides off.”
What’s Inside Big Bud: Genetics & Terpenes
Unpack the core components that give Big Bud her legendary power, robust growth, and distinct profile.
Genetics: Indica-dominant Hybrid (Afghani x Skunk x Northern Lights)
Big Bud’s lineage reads like a “who’s who” of classic cannabis. She’s a formidable Indica-dominant hybrid, skillfully bred from the legendary Afghani, celebrated for its dense resin production; Skunk, an iconic strain known for its vigorous growth; and Northern Lights (NL), a pure Indica powerhouse bringing deep relaxation. This masterful genetic blend results in a plant that embodies the best traits of its ancestors: impressive size, deep relaxation, and a rich, complex flavour profile.
How I Grow Big Bud (Matty’s Way)
Alright, growers, if you’re chasing truly massive yields, listen up! Big Bud is an absolute champion in the garden, built for abundance and surprisingly forgiving. Here’s how I get her absolutely stacked, Aussie style!
Skill Level: Easy to Moderate
Maximising Those Monster Yields
Keep her low and tidy in veg with training, but don’t leave her in there too long — once she hits flower, Big Bud can stretch like mad if you haven’t timed your flip right. This girl absolutely loves training to get those yields pumping. I’m a big fan of Low-Stress Training (LST) early on to open up her canopy and create a heap of colossal colas. If you want an absolute sea of green, she takes to Screen of Green (ScrOG) like a duck to water, creating a flat canopy of monster buds. A Sea of Green (SOG) setup also works a treat, since her genetics are perfectly suited for pumping out big, dominant colas. Just remember to get your training done in veg; once you flip her to flower, it’s all about bulking up those incredible buds. No mucking around!
Big Bud has a relatively quick flowering time of around 7–9 weeks, which is fantastic for a strain that puts on so much weight. This means quicker turnarounds and more harvests throughout the year. Indoors, with decent light and a bit of love, expect 500–650g/m² with the right training and nutrients. Outdoors? Let her bulk up and she can hit up to 700 g per plant (or even more if she truly loves her spot!).
Big Bud is generally resistant to common pests and mould, which is a huge bonus, especially for those incredibly dense buds. However, ‘generally resistant’ doesn’t mean ‘invincible’! During peak flowering, her sheer bud density can create microclimates that invite mould if airflow is poor. So, maintain excellent air circulation (fans, fans, and more fans!) and keep humidity levels below 50% in flower. In the final 7–10 days, it’s flush time – pure, pH-balanced water only. This cleans out salts for a smooth, pure smoke, bringing out her best flavours. Watch those trichomes for that perfect milky-to-amber ratio!
Matty says: “Keep airflow solid indoors and don’t let her fat nugs sit soggy too long—she stacks thick, and that can mean trouble if you’re growing in the tropics.”
Outdoor Specifics: Outdoor growers, this one’s for you. Big Bud thrives in Aussie sun and kicks out monster colas that’ll make your neighbours suspicious. Give her some solid support, or she’ll keel over from the sheer weight of those monster nugs—and probably raise a few eyebrows in the neighbourhood while she’s at it. Get her in early in the season, and she’ll reward you with absolutely monstrous yields. Best suited to warm, dry climates – think inland Aussie summers. But with those monster colas, definitely watch for mould late in flower, especially if you get unexpected rain. Good air circulation and perhaps some gentle shaking after a downpour can help.
Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)
- PPFD: 600–850 µmol/m²/s in flower; push 900+ if CO₂ & airflow are dialled
- VPD/RH: Veg 0.8–1.1 kPa (~55–65% RH); Flower 1.1–1.3 kPa (~42–50% RH)
- EC targets: Veg 1.4–1.8; Early flower 1.8–2.0; Mid-flower 2.0–2.2; Flush with plain, pH’d water
- pH: Soil 6.2–6.8; Coco/Hydro 5.8–6.2
- Airflow: Two opposing fans minimum — those bricks trap moisture like a raincoat
Matty’s Feeding & pH Know-How: “Keep pH boring and stable — that’s how you turn big into massive.”
Grow Log: Inside the Tent
| Phase/Week | Key Action/Status | Matty’s Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Veg (Weeks 1–4) | Bushy structure; topping + LST to flatten the canopy | Train early—flat canopy now means fat bricks later. |
| Early Flower (Weeks 1–3) | Flip 12/12; moderate stretch; first defoliate | Stake/net now—don’t wait for the “oh no” snap. |
| Mid-Flower (Weeks 4–6) | Buds stack hard; airflow becomes critical | Keep RH <50% and run a fan through the canopy, not just at it. |
| Late Flower (Weeks 7–8) | Colas dense; trichs mostly cloudy | Start your flush; avoid soggy pots—wet bricks breed mould. |
| Harvest | Cloudy with a lick of amber | Handle like dynamite—book your ticket to trim jail. |
🚫 Mythbusting
Myth: “Big Bud only has size, no punch.”
Truth (Matty): “Skunk and NL give her plenty of thump—she’ll tuck you in after she wows you.”
Myth: “Bigger buds are always airy.”
Truth (Matty): “Not here. Keep airflow up and you’ll be trimming bricks, not popcorn.”
Myth: “She’s only for commercial growers.”
Truth (Matty): “She’s commercial because she’s easy. If you can run a fan and a pH pen, you’re laughing.”
Pitfalls & Grower Warnings for Big Bud
Even legends have their quirks. Be aware of these potential challenges to ensure a smooth, problem-free Big Bud grow and experience.
- Bud Density & Mould Risk: Big Bud’s incredibly dense buds are susceptible to mould issues. Maintain excellent air circulation and low humidity (below 50% in flower).
- Nutrient Hunger: She’s a hungry girl! Big Bud will demand a robust nutrient regimen, particularly heavy on phosphorus and potassium during flowering. Monitor EC closely.
- Branch Support is Non-Negotiable: Those colas get heavy, fast. Without adequate support (stakes, netting, or a ScrOG setup), branches can snap. Get your support system in place early in flowering.
Matty’s Warning: “This girl packs on weight like she’s training for the heavyweight championship! Feed her well, support her branches like she’s family, and keep that air moving. And when you spark her up, clear your calendar – she’ll turn you into a happy slug on the sofa!”
Who It’s For?
Perfect If You:
- Want maximum ROI per square metre.
- Like classic, earthy-skunky flavour with a sweet finish.
- Prefer forgiving, low-fuss genetics that still look pro on harvest day.
Maybe Not for You If You:
- Hate staking or netting heavy colas.
- Grow in humid spaces without reliable airflow control.
🏆 Final Verdict
- Legendary yields without diva behaviour.
- Old-school flavour, modern harvest numbers.
- Balanced chill that lands you softly, not sideways.
Matty’s Final Word: “Big Bud’s the forklift of the garden—does the heavy lifting while you smile. Treat her right and she’ll over-deliver. 🍻”
