Big Buns
Big Buns
Overview
Big Buns is a hybrid cannabis strain created by renowned breeder Capulator through a genetic cross between Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) and Big MAC, offering a balanced 50% sativa and 50% indica composition according to some sources, though others classify it as indica-dominant (65% indica/35% sativa). This strain emerged as part of Capulator's innovative breeding program focused on high-quality glue crosses that merge potent genetics with visually stunning yields. Big Buns has quickly gained recognition in the cannabis community for its dense, trichome-rich buds and robust cannabinoid profile, with THC levels consistently ranging between 20-28% by weight. The strain exhibits dense, pepper-shaped forest green nugs with vibrant undertones, thick orange hairs, and a coating of frosty, chunky purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. Its complex terpene spectrum is dominated by myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene, producing a layered aroma of earthy diesel, spicy herbs, and subtle sweet dough with an underlying skunky finish. Big Buns has been documented to achieve resin production exceeding 0.8 grams per gram of dry weight, making it impressive even among elite cultivars. The strain's genetic stability and consistent expression of traits over multiple generations have made it a subject of academic research and a benchmark for next-generation glue crosses.

Growing Information
Big Buns is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate growing difficulty. The strain can be cultivated indoors and outdoors, though it was never available as feminized seeds according to breeding records. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks, while outdoor harvest occurs in late March to early April in the Southern Hemisphere. The strain benefits from proper airflow and humidity control (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold issues due to its dense bud structure. Big Buns responds well to training techniques and produces dense, heavy buds that may require support during late flowering. The plant exhibits typical hybrid growth patterns and can be grown using various methods including SOG (Sea of Green) setups. Growers should monitor for proper nutrient management and maintain adequate ventilation throughout the growing cycle.
