What is the Big Mac strain?
Big Mac is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Big Mac is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing BC Big Bud and Mikado. This strain gained recognition by taking home Second Place overall at the 2000 Nimbus Cup thanks to its potent THC levels and hard-hitting full-bodied effects. The strain is characterized by its dense, bushy appearance with broad, dark green leaves typical of indica genetics. Big Mac produces medium-sized forest green round buds with furry dark amber hairs and a coating of chunky clear crystal trichomes, making for an exceptionally resinous end product.
Originally developed by Federation Seed Company, Big Mac has since been reproduced by various breeders including DNA Genetics in autoflowering form. The strain combines the legendary genetics of its parent strains - BC Big Bud, known for its massive yields and classic indica effects, and Mikado, an indica-dominant hybrid celebrated for its relaxing properties. This genetic combination has resulted in a strain that is both robust and highly rewarding for cultivators while delivering a potent smoking experience. The strain's quick flowering time of 7-9 weeks and resistance to common pests and diseases has made it popular among both novice and experienced growers seeking reliable, high-yielding plants.
