Big Foot
Also known as: Bigfoot, Big Foot OG
Big Foot Strain Overview
Big Foot is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The name likely references both the legendary cryptid and the strain's reputation for delivering substantial, powerful effects that some users describe as 'monstrous' in their intensity and duration.
Visually, Big Foot typically produces dense, resinous buds that are medium to large in size, often taking on a conical or spade-like shape. The flowers display a vibrant green color palette with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a thick coating of milky-white trichomes and contrasting orange pistils. The strain's foliage tends to be broad and dark green, characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage, though the plant structure can show some sativa-like stretching during flowering.
Big Foot is noted for its complex aromatic profile and balanced genetic expression. The strain has maintained consistent popularity among both recreational and medicinal users due to its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Big Foot has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in regions where it was originally developed and stabilized.

Big Foot Strain Growing Information
Big Foot is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Big Foot requires good airflow to prevent mold in its dense buds and responds well to organic nutrients. The strain is relatively resistant to common pests and diseases but can be sensitive to overwatering.
