Family: Big Bud Strains
Strain: BC Big Bud
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: Oregon/British Columbia Breeder: Undetermined
Description:
“BC Big Bud is a stabilized 65% indica/35% sativa, the Dutch Big Bud (Sensi) is all indica. BC Big Bud has
tremendous resin, its the crystally bud on the cover of the Cannabis Culture #18 (Steve Kubby header), and a
citrusy scent. Usually only available in clone, (hence the crosses, its usually the female in those Romulan x BC
Big Bud or Mikado x BC Big Bud), it is now available in seed (pure) at $50 CN/$40 US for 10 seeds. Giant seeds,
largest I have (not that that information has meaning, seed size has no relevance despite what mythology
persists about them). Very nice smoke, the Dutch Big Bud can be a good yielder like BC Big Bud but the high is
superior in the BC Big Bud version. The leaves in the BC Big Bud variety are more sativa like.” – Marc Emery

Strain: Big Bud
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: Oregon, USA Breeder: Sensi Seed Bank
Images: 1 2 3
Description:
“Winner of the Cannabis Cup in 1989. Mostly Indica. All plants have guaranteed high yields, 25% has
something special to it. Usually the lower branches collapse under the weight of the buds. Cash cropper’s
delight.
Specifications: ~ Flower: 7.5-8.5 weeks – Sensi Seed Bank catalog
Growers Comments:
“Ed Rosenthal says Big Bud came from Portland, Oregon.”
“The Big Bud was the same as usual. The buds are large for sure, but this strain just doesn’t do it for me. They
reached about 15 inches in height and yielded at least an ounce each. I've grown this strain 2 times before
and to be honest I thought it came out poorly originally because they were my first crops, but even this latest
batch, which was grown and dried as perfect as I have ever done, still pales as far as potency goes. This will be
the last time I take up space with this strain.” – James Hetfield
“While I'm not going to say that Big Bud isn't a good strain, it's not as magical as many people seem to think.
The main problem is the name, Big Bud, everyone expects massive buds. They are big, but not significantly
larger than many other top strains. The potency is good but not knock you off your feet good. There is huge
variations from plant to plant, some are killer and deserving of some of the legends, but the majority are just
typical(of high quality strains). Overall, a good plant as long as you don't expect miracles. I just finished a
bowl of it myself.”
“Friend has been growing supposed BB for a while now, and let me say that the BB from Sensi I grew and
selected a perfect mother (maybe just great luck?), but mine sure is different. Much greener, tastier, more
potent, amazing. 8-10 in my opinion. But even Sensi says that 25% are "Special". So I'd advise germing the
whole batch (pack ) of seed as to give yourself a better shot at a primo Mom! Good luck dude. If you never
grew any exotics before, try an easier strain. You really kind of need to know what your doing (selection wise).”

“Piece of crap - hard to clone. I grew a few seeds from a seedbank selling Sensi BB, and I’m glad I didn’t
waste time and space with any more than 2 females. Maybe I was unlucky and didn’t score that hard to find
large producer. Dunno. the plants were grown indoors under plenty of light. They were big in circumference, with
spread out bud yield. I was expecting fatty kolas, but nope. It looked more like Holland/Canada Big Treat than
BB is supposed to be. Anyway, that’s my two cents.” – dak
“Afoaf has a Posi Big Bud Mom that is 70% pistils ripe, with cloudy heads in about 43-45 days and it yields real
nice. Its a real tough strain, eats ferts big time, not the strongest most devastating buzz, however it has a
long duration 4 hours, but a repeat for sure, the strain has really "grown on me." Its just an all-around good
strain, now if it took 55-60 days it would be history, its speed to harvest is a big consideration.” –Budm

Growers Comments:
"(Big Bud x Skunk #1) 23.25 oz. Cured, VERY well manicured. Also made 2 lb of butter, that turned out way too
strong) and 10 grams of hash. There were 8 1/2 plants grown from clone(one was a complete runt, I don't
know why I even let her live). Plants were vegged in an aeroponic/NFT system for 3 weeks under a 1000MH with
an AgroSun bulb. They were about 18-20 inches tall when switched. Each plant was topped twice. Flowering was
in an NFT system. The first 2 weeks a single 1000MH w/ AgroSun was used. A second identical light was added
at the third week. Flowering took about 70 days. These were the most crystallized plants of this variety that
I've ever grown. Slow cured over 1 1/2 months. First on newspaper, then into paper bags, then into mason jars.
Smell is incredible. High is incredible. Normally I find BB a little less potent that I'd like. This crop just floors
me. High starts out mellow, upbeat, then when you start the second round of bong hits it just hits you like a
wave. Immediate couch melt. Cancel your plans, you're not going anywhere. But it lets your mind stay
somewhat sharp, which is the best thing about it. Overall I was pretty pleased with this harvest. I had a couple
of problems in the early weeks of flowering with mites, and then nearer the end the cold started to set in a bit.
So considering that I was pleased with the yield. Although it did suffer the typical Big Bud problem of slightly
looser buds. I had one plant that was a monster! A good 8 inches taller than all the other plants, I ended up
having to tie her down. 4 huge colas each around 4x11. That plant probably yielded almost 4 ounces alone." -

Strain: Green Spirit
Strain Type: Sativa/Indica mix Origin: Holland Breeder: Dutch Passion Seedbank
Images: 1 2 3
Description:
“Green Spirit is a hybrid of Big Bud and Skunk #1. Was developed because Big Bud itself is not a very
consistent strain, with very big differences among individual plants. By crossing Big Bud and Skunk #1, Green
Spirit became quite homogeneous. Good results under artificial lights. Clear and strong high. The plants have
an explosive flowering trait and are extremely resinous. Very high yield.
Specifications: ~ Flower: 8-9 weeks ~ Harvest: 1st week of Nov.” - Dutch Passion seedbank catalog
Growers Comments:
"Green Spirit is a short resiny 8 week strain that crystals up nicely and has a real bomb taste. The only
drawback I see is the mold susceptibility trait inherited from its Skunk#1 forefathers."-Mcgee
