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.

This is an amazing strain! Many people put down the BigBud for it's lack of potency... but I have found now that it is mixed with the Northern Lights it is a much better plant. The internodes are very tight together and the buds were super-dense. It is a very tough strain... I was growing it with Snow White and all issues I ran into showed up either only on the SW or on the Sw first. The NLxBB was very forgiving to nutrient issues etc. Again the yield is amazing, and the flavor and sent is a nice citrus as well. One thing I love about the flavor is it lasts right down to the last hit!
The high is also very nice.... Wonderful body buzz... (Weightless tingle type).. It harbors a unique body buzz to say the least. On top of that, it has a nice bit of heady high to kick it up a bit. It is a very pleasurable high. It's not 'one hit quit’ but definitely will get you there in a reasonable amount of consumption. This strain is leaps and bounds above the Original BB.
As far as appearance it is very very dense and very very trichome covered... it starts bulking up and getting frosty around 3 weeks flowering. Soon they get really sticky. When you break up a properly handled dry bud there is a pile of kif on the table!
All and all it is a wonderful strain... great yields, easy to grow, and great end product!
