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.

The Northern Lights Big Bud is a great strain for stealth cabs, new growers or anyone looking for an easy-to-grow potent plant. It handled transplants, abuse and high ferts well. I grew it FIM and scrog style. My yield was approx. 5 ounces (dried) under fluoros. I feel the total yield could have been more, but am attributing most mistakes to user error.
After it was all said and done, I would definitely grow this plant again. My planning will be a little better as will my methods next time around.

I grew in Sams Choice soil with 15% perlite and 15% vermiculite, Super Triple Phosphate for the pH balance and some cow manure.
In vegetative growth I used Alaskan fish emulsion @ 1/4 strength in every watering and slowly increased to 2X strength by end of veg growth.
After preflowering I transplanted all females [4 of 5] to 3 gallon rectangular garbage cans and added 2 table spoons bloodmeal to soil mix.
During flowering I used FoxFarms bigbloom @ full strength every other watering. I watered every 2-4 days depending on the weight of the container.
I did encounter a gnat problem and used a soap solution then let plants completely dry out. Probably 6 days before watering again.
My lighting setup:
Primary veg: 320 w cool white fluoro
Secondary veg: 480 w cool whites
Tertiary veg:1400 w cool whites VHO
Flowering: 1100 full spectrum/warm whites combo VHO
