Overview
Big Buds THC levels vary widely depending on the conditions in which it is grown, with a typical range of 15-20%. Under ideal conditions though the THC levels of this strain have been measured above 26%. CBD levels remain low, with only trace amounts well below 1% shown in regular testing. Despite this Big Bud offers the intense body relaxation qualities that premium quality indica weed is famed for.
Strain Effects
A true indica experience, Big Bud produces an amazing body numbing high and deep sense of relaxation. The stone comes on slowly but delivers exceptional effects when it does, leading many to become couch-locked and sleepy. Combined with the comforting feeling of positivity it creates this is a strain highly recommended for enjoying on a quiet night in or before bed.
Growing info
Higher average plant height, ranging between 150-220cm, Big Bud might need some extra space compared to other strains. This is offset by the frequently large yields the plants deliver with takes of between 500-600g/m2 being commonplace under the right setup. Due to the incredible size of the buds and relative lack of leaves the quality of the yield is also unsurpassed. Combined with a flowering time of 7-9 weeks, Big Bud is an exciting prospect for the passionate grower.
MSNL Editors Verdict
Big Bud is a genuine survivor, rescued by expert growers with a real passion for unique high quality cannabis. Boasting exceptionally high yields, a smooth smoking experience and an incredibly calming high this is a strain that delivers time and time again.

"Agreed, not strong enough"
Review by Bud Craver
Have to agree with the other users. This bud just isn't potent enough for me to consider it one of the top strains out there.

"Huge buds"
Review by Baker
The buds are so huge, I love taking them out of the bag and just looking at them. The high could be a bit stronger, but I smoke a lot.

"not so potent, but will put you to sleep"
Review by Budder
This is the best "go to sleep" strain i've ever smoked. Not really the thing you smoke with friends. One smoke of this and you will go to sleep, like a baby! It helped with my muscle tensions to. Liked this smoke a lot but a bit to heavy for everyday-smoke

"Big buds only go so far"
Review by Andrew
I always think I'm gonna be impressed by Big Bud, but never am. I just never find it all that potent, and I like a weed that's gonna knock me on my butt. It tastes good, definitely not garbage, just wish I got a lil higher from it.

"Can't go wrong "
Review by Rebecca
I grew these in Australia and they are amazing. I had next to no issues with growing it. First time grower. It's very hardy and endure some crazy weather patterns. Massive yielded but I used smaller pots so they would be a bit smaller for outside. Had to still tie them down. A bit of a creeper and perfect for pain issues. Love the mellow high. Smells and tastes amazing.

"Rock hard, could have more flavour"
Review by Bucky Kez
Tried this in a coffee shop in the 'dam, looked great with rock hard buds but could do with a bit more in the flavour department.
