Bigaradine
Overview
Bigaradine is an F2 cannabis strain created by Aficionado French Connection as part of their Limited Edition collection. This unique hybrid emerged from the cross of (Orange Sorbet x Ztarbust) x (Orange Sorbet x Ztarbust), representing a sophisticated breeding effort to concentrate the most desirable traits from both parent lines. The strain's genetics trace back to Orange Sorbet (Sangria x Cherry Noir #18 x Sorbetto) and Ztarbust (Zkittlez x Agent Orange), creating a complex genetic foundation that includes influences from Forbidden Fruit and Pineapple Thai BX.
This predominantly sativa-leaning hybrid is renowned for its exceptional terpene concentration, making it particularly valuable for extraction purposes and concentrate production. The strain produces first-quality buds that are highly aromatic and become notably sticky during flowering, developing what appears to be a thick layer of oil. Bigaradine represents modern American cannabis genetics brought to European markets, showcasing the innovative breeding techniques that have emerged from the legal cannabis industry. The strain exemplifies the trend toward terpene-rich varieties that prioritize flavor complexity and extraction quality over simple potency metrics.

Growing Information
Bigaradine is suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with indoor flowering completing in approximately 9 weeks (63 days) and outdoor harvests ready by late September to early October. Indoor yields reach up to 550-600g per m². As a predominantly sativa strain, it's recommended to limit vegetative time indoors due to its vigorous early flowering stretch that can easily triple plant size. This makes it highly adaptable to SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green) techniques. Outdoors, the strain shows good mold resistance and benefits from staking to support heavy colas. The plants produce exceptionally resinous flowers that become very sticky during flowering, requiring careful handling. Difficulty level is moderate, suitable for growers with some experience in managing sativa-dominant strains.
