The Big Bud strain first found its way into the Netherlands from America back in the 80s. Surviving the War on Drugs, this indica strain has become a treasure among growers seeking big yields. As the name implies, it delivers enormous buds with comparatively few leaves and has potentially potent sedative effects. Spicy and sweet fruit aromas erupt from this classic cultivar.
Looking at some nugs from the Big Bud strain, it’s apparent why the strain has become such a timeless favorite. The leaves have a gorgeous green hue that’s met with a sparkling display of trichomes across its surface. Initially, this strain has a loud musky spice that turns up the volume in any room. Underneath that layer of gas, you can pick up the presence of sugary citrus fruit. Big Bud sort of comes across like a high-octane cut of OG Kush.
There is no lab data available to truly pinpoint the dominant terpenes in the Big Bud strain. But, judging from user reviews and a little more research, I can make an inference. If we’re going off of the reports of smells, as well as the fact that it produces a lot of resin, I feel like limonene could be present. This would explain some of the sweetness and its potential for uplifting and happy highs.
Big Bud Strain
Considering that there’s a prevailing spiciness, it’s not unfair to assume there’s some beta-caryophyllene in there. This terpene has a very strong potential for anti-inflammatory effects and represents musky, peppery, and spicy flavors in a given strain. Lastly, the fruitiness that many reports say it has could possibly be myrcene. This is a common terpene for indica strains, giving off floral and berry aromas and lending to classically calming highs.
Smoking on some of the Big Bud strain, you might want to sit down. A deep, relaxing full-body high might quickly wrap around you like a coat. Many denizens of the West Coast back in the early 90s regale this strain as potentially being the perfect knock-out medicine. The smoke will showcase more spicy and peppery flavors with just a hint of sugary fruit. Those who have trouble with chronic body pain or anxiety might find this strain to be quite enjoyable.
