Seb's take
Big Bud's pedigree goes back to a High Times Cannabis Cup win in 1989, and this autoflowering version carries the same laid-back charm forward. Sweet, fruity and floral on the nose; the high is uplifting, relaxed and happy, the flavour lingering long after you have sunk into the couch. The sitting-down sort, dressed up for a new generation.
Where it comes from
Big Bud carries a happy history back to the late eighties, and a properly documented one: she took the High Times Cannabis Cup for best indica in 1989. This autoflowering version, crossing Big Bud with FB Fem Auto #13, carries all of that value forward with the added convenience of setting her own clock. The pedigree is real and the manner is unchanged, a laid-back plant to grow and a laid-back one to enjoy. A trophy strain made available to the impatient.
Nose & flavour
Sweet at the front, with a fruity body and a floral lift over the top. It is an inviting, dessert-leaning nose rather than a sharp one, and the record notes that the flavour lingers, staying with you as the effect takes hold. A pleasant, well-mannered aroma that suits the plant's easygoing character and holds its sweetness through the exhale.
The high
Uplifting, relaxed and happy, with the flavour lingering long after you have sunk comfortably into the couch. It is the sitting-down sort, dressed up for a new generation, the kind of high that improves an evening spent going nowhere in particular. Genial and settling rather than sedating outright, it keeps the mood bright while the body eases down. A fine way to close a day.
Growing it
An autoflower that finishes in 56 to 63 days, reaching a medium 90 to 120cm. Indoors she returns 400 to 500 g/m². The genetics are 70 percent indica, 30 percent sativa, with THC at 23 percent. The record describes her as a very pleasant and laid-back plant to grow, which tallies with her Cup-winning parent's reputation for being generous rather than temperamental. Give her modest headroom and steady care, and she carries the same easy charm through to harvest.
