Gigabud Strain Overview
Gigabud is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by G13 Labs, created by crossing the legendary Big Bud and Northern Lights strains. This strain emerged from European breeding efforts in the late 2000s, with G13 Labs being credited as its primary promoter. The name 'Gigabud' directly references one of its most distinctive characteristics - the production of extraordinarily large, dense buds that maintain their structure even after drying. The strain has gained widespread popularity among both commercial cultivators and home growers due to its rapid flowering time, straightforward cultivation requirements, and impressive yield potential. Visually, Gigabud plants produce massive, Christmas tree-shaped structures that can reach heights of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) when given adequate space. The buds themselves are notably dense and heavy, displaying vibrant green coloration with occasional hints of purple when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. These oversized colas are covered in a thick coating of crystalline trichomes, giving them an almost frosted appearance that speaks to their high resin content.

Gigabud Strain Growing Information
Gigabud is considered an easy-to-moderate difficulty strain suitable for growers of all experience levels. Indoor flowering time ranges from 50-65 days, with most phenotypes ready by day 53-60. Indoor yields typically range from 350-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 400-800 grams per plant. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring Mediterranean-like conditions when grown outside. Harvest time for outdoor cultivation falls in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Plants exhibit vigorous growth with robust structures, reaching heights of 60-120cm indoors and up to 1.5-2.4 meters outdoors. Training methods such as LST, HST, SCROG, and topping work well to maximize yields. The strain requires 18-24 hours of light during vegetative growth and 12 hours during flowering.
