Overview
Green Spirit was developed by breeding the revered strains Big Bud and Skunk #1. Both are High Times Cannabis Cup winners, and that award-winning pedigree is evident in this strain. Crossing Big Bud with Skunk #1 has taken the former’s revered characteristics and made them more consistent — giving growers access to an outstanding buzz and generous yields with an even easier grow.
What’s more, Green Spirit is a hybrid that offers that rare, perfectly even indica-sativa ratio. A 50-50 indica-sativa split, it’s able to produce a well-balanced high with plenty of depth. Yields are surprisingly large for a strain so quick to flower. And with potent, great tasting buds, this really is a strain for everyone.
Strain Effects
With a THC content of approximately 15-18%, Green Spirit is quite potent. But this strain is about more than pure strength. Its indica and sativa genetics work together in perfect harmony to produce buzz that relaxes both mind and body. A clear-headed high is slow to kick in but long-lasting. Green Spirit is a real mood booster, with an initial burst of euphoria eventually making way for a state of total serenity. Physically, it’s a superb muscle relaxant, capable of calming your limbs without inducing couchlock or lethargy. Consequently, this strain is great for brightening up day-to-day activities or as an accompaniment to socializing.
The beautiful indica-sativa equilibrium also gives it a range of medicinal uses. Green Spirit’s potent analgesic properties are commonly used to treat migraines and chronic pain. It’s also effective at alleviating the symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.
Growing info
One of Green Spirit’s many selling points is its rapid flowering time. Grown indoors, plants will be ready for harvest in just 8-10 weeks. This is a strain that thrives in a controlled environment and will produce especially good results using the Sea of Green growing method. Plants benefit from a prolonged vegetation period and experience explosive bud growth during the flowering phase. They can also do well outdoors, but require a ‘Mediterranean’ climate. When growing Green Spirit outside, aim for a late September harvest.
Plants reach heights of around 100-180cm and provide decent yields of roughly 300-400g/m2.
Appearance and Aroma
Green Spirit produces plants with a high bud to leaf ratio. And this makes for attractive plants. Dark, pine-colored fan leaves provide contrast, framing a profusion of spade-shaped nuggets. Buds are tight and dense, growing with a fern-colored tint that’s made lighter by a thick layer of trichomes. Vibrant orange pistils protrude from resin-coated calyxes to add a splash of color to buds with real visual appeal.
Plants give off a distinctly dank aroma during vegetation, becoming more pungent as they mature. As they flower, Green Spirit’s distinct skunky and spicy fragrance becomes more prominent.
MSNL Editors Verdict

And it grows like a dream. If you’re looking for a great all-rounder, this could be the strain for you.

Buds of Green Spirit are dank and pungent. A dominant, earthy aroma is underscored by notes of skunk, with the fragrance becoming spicier and more hash-like when burned. To taste, this strain is surprisingly floral. Smoke is smooth with delicately sweet, slightly herbal flavors. The overall flavor profile is complex and satisfying. Undertones of hash linger throughout. Notes of skunk return as you exhale, intensifying with repeated tokes.

"Super cross!"
Review by Jordi
This is a great cross because yeah, big bud can be very unpredictable. Love this smoke though, and such a clear head high for an indy.
