B.F.G.
Also known as: BFG, Big Friendly Giant
B.F.G. Strain Overview
B.F.G., an acronym for 'Big Friendly Giant,' is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Ripper Seeds. The strain was created by crossing two notable parent strains: Critical Mass, a renowned indica-dominant hybrid known for its substantial yields and relaxing effects, and an undisclosed sativa-dominant strain that contributes to its balanced nature and cerebral qualities. B.F.G. has gained recognition primarily within the European cannabis market, particularly among home growers and enthusiasts who appreciate its combination of manageable cultivation characteristics and potent effects.
The strain exhibits a distinctive appearance characterized by dense, resinous buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a vibrant green color palette often accented with purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Orange pistils weave through the buds, while a generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The plant structure tends to be robust with strong branches capable of supporting the weight of its substantial buds.
B.F.G. is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, sweet, and fruity notes. The flavor experience typically mirrors the aroma, with users reporting a smooth smoke that carries hints of berries, citrus, and pine. The strain's balanced genetic heritage results in effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

B.F.G. Strain Growing Information
B.F.G. is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Plants tend to reach medium to tall heights, requiring adequate vertical space, particularly when grown outdoors. Special considerations include providing strong support for branches during the flowering phase due to the weight of the dense buds and maintaining proper air circulation to prevent mold in the thick colas.
