Green Giant
Also known as: Brothers Grimm Green Giant
Green Giant Strain Overview
Green Giant is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the legendary Brothers Grimm seed company, known for their precise breeding work and stable genetics. This strain was created by crossing an extremely heavy-yielding Big Bud female, which consistently averaged 40 grams per square foot, with a stocky Shiva Skunk male. The combination resulted in a strain that emphasizes both exceptional yield and potent effects, making it particularly appealing to both commercial growers and medical patients seeking strong therapeutic effects.
The strain exhibits classic indica-dominant characteristics with a compact growth structure and dense, resinous buds. Green Giant is recognized for producing what breeders describe as a 'narcotic smoke,' indicating strong sedative properties typical of indica-heavy hybrids. The plant maintains the Big Bud lineage's reputation for exceptional yields while incorporating Shiva Skunk's stability and potency. This breeding combination has created a strain that balances commercial viability with therapeutic efficacy, making it a noteworthy entry in the Brothers Grimm catalog of cannabis genetics.

Green Giant Strain Growing Information
Green Giant is an indoor-focused strain with a flowering time of approximately 55 days (7-8 weeks). The plant exhibits indica-dominant growth characteristics, remaining relatively compact at 100 cm or less in height, making it suitable for indoor cultivation with limited vertical space. The strain is renowned for its exceptional yield potential, averaging 400 grams per square meter, which reflects its Big Bud heritage.
