Strain Guide

Big Bud Strain

Big Bud is an indica dominant hybrid (85% indica/15% sativa) strain that was the overall winner of the 1989 High Times Cannabis Cup. This strain was named for its enormously oversized buds and huge yields for growers, as well as its intensely high THC level ranging from 23-26%. Although the original Big Bud strain was a cross between the insanely popular Afghani X Skunk #1 strains, it has since then been rebred and bred with other strains to create different effects and potencies.
