Big Lights
Big Lights Strain Overview
Big Lights is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular strains: Wedding Cake and Gelato #33. This genetic combination brings together the dessert-like qualities of Wedding Cake with the balanced effects of Gelato #33, resulting in a strain that has gained attention in the cannabis community for its potent effects and appealing flavor profile. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create new varieties that combined the best traits of established favorites.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually medium to large in size and covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Big Lights inherits the gassy, sweet aroma from its Wedding Cake parent while incorporating the creamy, citrus notes from Gelato #33. The strain's name likely references both its lineage (with 'Lights' possibly alluding to its Gelato heritage) and the bright, uplifting effects reported by users.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Big Lights has developed a following among enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced hybrid effects and complex terpene profile. The strain represents the continuing evolution of cannabis breeding, where established genetics are combined to create new experiences. As with many modern hybrids, precise information about its development history is somewhat limited, and different breeders may produce variations with slightly different characteristics.

Big Lights Strain Growing Information
Big Lights is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The plants tend to develop a bushy structure with medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should implement training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Big Lights prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. The strain shows good resistance to common molds and pests but benefits from proper airflow and humidity control, especially during the flowering phase. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering stage when the plants develop their dense, resinous buds.
