Overview
Originally created in the US in the 1980s, Big Bud was taken to The Netherlands and then further hybridised and stabilised. Sensi Seeds brought it back to its roots, then added Skunk #1 and Northern Lights to its genetic background. Big Bud Automatic is an 80% indica-dominant strain. Big Bud Auto is Sensi Seeds' highest-yielding autoflowering strain, which explains its popularity! It produces huge, weighty buds, which are completely covered in resin.

A high-yielding automatic variant, which produces a typically indica high. This is an autoflowering strain, which makes it ideal for novice growers. As an auto, it's capable of thriving in most climates, and offers a faster flowering time too. Growers can expect 45-55 days of flowering in total, with a growth cycle of around 13 to 17 weeks. This is advantageous for anyone wanting swift results, or multiple harvests per year. Most plants will range from 90 to 130 cm; with those grown outdoors reaching slightly larger heights (of around 150 cm at most).
