Big Wheels
Big Wheels Strain Overview
Big Wheels is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains Cookies and Cream with Triple OG, resulting in a genetic profile that combines desirable traits from both parent strains. First introduced to the cannabis market in the mid-2010s, Big Wheels gained attention for its impressive resin production and complex terpene profile, making it appealing to both recreational users and concentrate producers.
The strain's name references both its substantial bud structure and its ability to produce large yields under proper cultivation conditions. Big Wheels plants typically develop dense, chunky buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a white, crystalline appearance. The coloration often includes deep green hues with occasional purple accents, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast.
Big Wheels is noted for its relatively fast flowering time compared to other high-yielding strains, typically maturing in 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. The strain has gained particular popularity in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where it has been featured in several cannabis competitions and exhibitions. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Big Wheels maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.

Big Wheels Strain Growing Information
Big Wheels is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to grow to medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Big Wheels responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a stable environment with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) during the flowering phase. Big Wheels is known for its heavy resin production, making it an excellent choice for concentrate and extract production.
