These figures are ranges, not promises. Flowering time, harvest date and yield vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →
Taste & Aroma Profile
The flavour is sweet fruit and earth, with ripe fruit and a subtle spice on the nose; one outdoor grower appreciated that it was “not overly stinky for the neighbours”.
About Big Bud
Genetics & strain profile
Big Bud is exactly what its name promises. Developed in the 1980s from Afghan, Northern Lights and Skunk #1, it became the benchmark for yield in the Dutch seed scene and has been a commercial grower’s staple ever since. Our feminized Big Bud is a well-balanced, resilient hybrid with a moderate 18% THC, made for growers who want a productive strain that stays easy — beginners and experienced growers alike. It is also a useful breeding parent: one Quebec customer uses it to pollinate his own females to carry the genetics forward. Five reviews, all five stars, with “100% germination” and “very strong” being the recurring words.
How Big Bud grows
The plant has a compact, bushy structure that is easy to manage, even in smaller indoor spaces, and the colas get heavy enough that you should plan on staking or netting late in flower. Indoors it flowers in 8 to 10 weeks and gives 600 to 750 g/m² given proper care — one of the highest indoor figures in our catalogue. It also clones easily; a reviewer rooted cuttings with nothing but honey. Outdoors it is typically ready early to mid-October. One Ontario grower started seeds in March, moved them out in June and harvested 1.5 lbs wet from a single plant, topping it several times to keep it below the fence line; another said his Big Bud grew twice as tall as the Fruity Pebbles 2.0 planted beside it. Keep humidity in check in the last weeks, as dense colas can hold moisture.
Taste, aroma and effect
The flavour is sweet fruit and earth, with ripe fruit and a subtle spice on the nose; one outdoor grower appreciated that it was “not overly stinky for the neighbours”. The high begins with a cerebral lift, euphoric and happy, and settles into a balanced, comfortable relaxation. At 18% THC it is approachable and suits people who want quantity and a mellow effect rather than maximum strength. For a related, faster strain from one of its parents, see Northern Lights.

These are strong growers, indeed! I have two growing outside and they are spread by about 6 weeks in germination time. The first one took hold fast and grew twice as tall as the "Fruity Pebbles 2" strain planted at the same time. Also, I am getting strong beginnings of buds (10 weeks) growing with a gorgeous lemony fruity smell. Great seeds!

Seeds all sprouted, strong healthy plants, started the seeds in March indoors and moved outdoors in June. Harvested 1.5lbs of wet weight (1 plant). Not overly stinky for neighbors. I had to top the plant multiple times to keep her lower than my fence. What a huge plant she became.
Speedy delivery by QCS and great quality.
