Big D
Also known as: Big D OG, Big D Kush
Big D Strain Overview
Big D is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily through word-of-mouth and regional cultivation rather than widespread commercial distribution. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with most sources tracing it to the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where it was reportedly developed by local growers in the early 2000s. The name 'Big D' is believed to reference both the strain's substantial bud structure and its potent effects, though some regional variations suggest it might also be an abbreviation for 'Big Diesel' due to its aromatic profile.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by deep green foliage interspersed with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The nugs are often chunky and compact, with a structure that reflects its indica-dominant heritage. Big D's visual appeal is enhanced by its frosty appearance, which gives the buds a shimmering quality under proper lighting conditions.
While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Big D has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis communities, particularly among growers who appreciate its robust growth characteristics and reliable effects. The strain's relative obscurity in mainstream cannabis literature means that information about it comes primarily from grower reports and user experiences rather than formal breeding documentation or laboratory studies.

Big D Strain Growing Information
Big D is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a temperate climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often requiring some height management techniques indoors. Big D responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage canopy height. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
