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.

Very easy to grow. Handled transplanting and high nutes very well. Low odor, would be good for stealth cabs. Had a little trouble cloning but was moslty user error. My plants had very tight internode spacing, and bushy. I vegged them for 4 weeks and switched to 12/12, plants were about 2 1/2 ft at h ...continued

This is my first 100% Indica I've grown and I love it! The second you toke on this you get the hit - no creeping at all, I knew exactly where I was - deep in the body stone.
At a party, where everyone had been smoking C99, as soon as this got passed around people went quiet and smiles came onto t ...continued

Taste: I believe came from the nice Northern Light side, was a bit smooth, didn't have ...continued

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 d ...continued

Grew out two NLxBB seeds left over from last year under a 100 watt MH. Took two clones of each plant, and sexed the seeded plants. Kept the two female clones. One died due to grasshoppers. They were transplanted outdoors mid June into 5 gallons of organic soil. Grew into one main cola with some side ...continued

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 Sn ...continued

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 bee ...continued

NL#5 x BigBud is a GREAT beginner strain! This was my very first grow and these plants took some heavy abuse during the early stages due to my lack of experience, especially with watering. To my surprise, they bounced back beautifully every time. A very forgiving strain!
I was lucky to have a 10 ...continued

10 NLxBB seeds were germed along with 10 B52s(a whole different story).The 5 most vigorous were selected and grown on an NFT 604 with the 5 B52s.
VEG growth:18/6.Early growth was vigorous producing a short squat plant with lime green leaves.They seemed to appreciate very much a graduated nute program erring on the low side of the Cf scale.
At 6 weeks and with height of 16-18",flowering was induced.
Flowering:12/12:Early stretching was quick but slowed considerably in comparison to the B52s.Between 7 and 15 days from the light change,2 females had shown themselves and of course the males were pulled.Pistil growth was spectacular,the plants soon leaving the B52s far behind.The buds started to pack it on around day 30 and continued until harvest which was at day 61.Ina ll honesty the plants could have gone another week but circumsatnces meant they had to finish.As You can see on the photos the finished colas were very impressive in size.What the photos can't convey is the stickiness of the flowers.
Odour:I utilise a carbon filter and it was most definitely required.Althought the smell was by no means overpowering it was detctable in the nest room and a filter has to be recommended.
Yield:The 2 plant yielded approx 5 OZ each dry.I am more than happy with that.I knwo of people who have yielded more but also of people who have gotten less so I'll settle for what I got.
Effects:This baby is all in the head.(Possible because they were pulled slightly early?)but its the headiest buzz I've had for a while.Coming home at 10pm yesterday after a 14 hour shift,it kept me up till after midnight all tiredness gone.
Taste:Presently,the buds are still curing.The taste and smell is detectable and is lemony with a spicy kick but the juries still out on this.
Garden Information for this report 2Mx2M area with 850w suspended above it.Carbon filter with silencer and acoustic ducting. Nft 604 tray with vita link nutes. |
