Big Bud Fast Version

Big Bud Fast Version is precisely how it is named. This plant produces large, trichome-laden buds in lightning fast speed compared to other photoperiod strains. Moreover, its low leaf-to-flower ratio also ensures prolific yields as the buds are mostly composed of smokable materials instead of low-potency fan leaves.

While the massive, insanely resinous buds may have earned Big Bud the spotlight, it is also cherished for its powerful psychoactive and therapeutic effects.

The profound sedation and full-body relaxation exerted by Big Bud are traits inherited from Afghani and Northern Lights. On the other hand, Skunk #1 passed on its uplifting and euphoric buzz. Together, the genetics of such legendary strains created the perfect blend of an earthy, pungent, and skunky hybrid that delivers the best of both worlds - a well-balanced mental stimulation and physical relaxation.

Homegrown Cannabis Co.’s fast-flowering rendition of Big Bud resulted from its cross with an auto-flowering variety. Such meticulous breeding process resulted in a plant that still responds to light cycles but blooms at a much faster rate. Moreover, it is incredibly easy to cultivate, making it a go-to strain of amateur growers.

Growing Big Bud from Fast Version Seeds

Big Bud Fast Version is most renowned for its humongous colas and rapid flowering period of just 6 to 7 weeks. In spite of such superior characteristics, this plant is non-finicky and low-maintenance. Its ease of cultivation is the reason why it is suitable for beginners.

It thrives in any environment - be it indoor or outdoor. A warm, dry, Mediterranean climate helps the plant achieve its full potential. In an open location, its height could reach 5 feet tall. Having plenty of sunshine helps in the production of up to 750 grams of fat buds per plant.

Meanwhile, indoor cultivation proves to be more efficient than outdoor growing as the setup allows for control of environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. The use of hydroponics combined with the Sea of Green method further boost the growth rate and encourage the production of more massive buds. Providing supporting mechanisms such as trellises is crucial to prevent the stalks from snapping under the weight of its enormous nugs. Ensuring adequate airflow in the grow room is also a must as its dense colas tend to be vulnerable to molds. When grown under a high-quality 600-watt HPS lamp, this hybrid could yield as much as 600 grams per square meter.

Fragrance and Flavor

Big Bud’s fast-flowering rendition exudes an earthy, skunky aroma outlined by a fruity undertone. This alluring aroma is then complemented by a complex flavor that delights the palate with a spicy, earthy, and skunky taste that tends to get sweeter and fruitier with repeated inhalations. If stealth is a priority, the use of odor control mechanisms prevents the pungent scent from escaping into the neighborhood. 

Effects

By today’s standards, Big Bud Fast Version’s 15% to 18% THC content may seem average, but it certainly does not fall short in delivering a full-bodied experience. Its effects start as a euphoric high that melts away worries and stress. Courtesy of its Sativa genetics, it also exerts a mild cerebral buzz that inspires an elated mood.

Meanwhile, its Indica-dominant lineage endows it with a profoundly relaxing and long-lasting body buzz that follows immediately after the cerebral effects start to wane. Unlike others, it does not induce a couch locking sensation - thereby allowing for some productivity amidst the calm. However, this strain could still weigh down on the body and cause drowsiness and sleep, so it is always best used before bedtime.

Consuming Big Bud Fast Version will also incur mild repercussions such as dry mouth and bloodshot eyes. Nevertheless, such symptoms could be minimized by drinking plenty of fluids. Sticking to the prescribed dosage is also of utmost importance, especially for those with low THC tolerance. Otherwise, overindulgence could cause more severe adverse effects such as dizziness, anxiety, or even paranoia.

Medical

Apart from its cherished psychoactive properties, Big Bud Fast Version also lends itself to medicinal use. Patients ailing from physiological and psychological illnesses can seek reprieve from Big Bud Fast Version’s potent and long-lasting therapeutic effects.

For one, its mood-enhancing properties work wonders in relieving symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and depression. Moreover, Big Bud Fast Version’s relaxing qualities help ease muscle tension, fatigue, and stress all while delighting both the mind and body with a wave of tranquil euphoria. Such calming effects eventually weigh down on the body and lulls the senses to a drowsy slumber. This makes it an ideal remedy for insomnia and other sleep disorders.

Apart from that, patients ailing from chronic pain and inflammation would also benefit from fast-acting and long-lasting analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Even with a small dosage, headaches, backache, arthritis, and many other pain-causing ailments will be alleviated. To top it all off, this strain is also effective in quelling nausea and vomiting. It can also increase appetite by inducing a ravenous hunger - often referred to as the “munchies” - thus, making it an effective remedy for nauseous patients undergoing chemotherapy or those diagnosed with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa.
