Breeder's Description - 'Northern Lights x Big Bud'
|
Northern Lights x Big Bud was developed with the grower and smoker in mind. Big Bud has outragouse yield but tends to be a bit weak for the heavy smoker. Crossing Big Bud with a very potent Northern lights has made a more potent bud with losing only a small percent of the yield. The smoke from Northern Lights x Big Bud is rich and deep and the taste is lightly skunky.

I grew these two Northern Lights x Big Bud indoors from seed. One matured much faster than the other and yielded about a half ounce less than the longer flowering plant.
First plant came down after 49 days of flowering (counting from onset of flowering, not from light switch). Second plant came down after 60 days of flowering.
This was my first grow and I'm really pleased with this strain. I have no scale but I estimate the yeilds at 2 1/2oz and 3oz for each plant. I'm pretty sure they would have yeilded better if I didn't make a few mistakes along the way.
Overall I give the strain a thumbs-up and will likely grow it again someday.

Grow was done organically in soil. Flowering nutes included Foxfarm Bigbloom and Alaska Mor-Bloom.
Initially flowering was started with two 150w HPS lamps but a week or so into flowering I switched to a 1000w Hortilux HPS. The plants really responded well to the switch to a larger light.
