Original Big Bud Super Skunk
Also known as: Big Bud Super Skunk, BBSS
Original Big Bud Super Skunk Strain Overview
Original Big Bud Super Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines two legendary parent strains: Big Bud and Super Skunk. This strain was developed to create a plant that inherits the massive yields of Big Bud with the pungent aroma and potent effects of Super Skunk. The exact origins and breeder of this specific cross are not well-documented in mainstream cannabis literature, suggesting it may be a regional or boutique creation rather than a widely commercialized strain. The name reflects its genetic heritage rather than indicating a standardized cultivar from a major seed bank.
Visually, Original Big Bud Super Skunk typically displays characteristics from both parent strains. Plants often show the dense, heavy cola structure associated with Big Bud, combined with the resin production and leaf structure of Super Skunk. The buds are usually medium to large in size, with a dense structure that can make them appear heavier than they actually are. Color variations can include deep greens with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The trichome coverage is typically generous, giving the buds a frosty appearance.
Notable features of this strain include its strong aroma profile and balanced effects. The combination of genetics results in a plant that appeals to both recreational users seeking potent effects and growers interested in substantial yields. However, due to the variability in how this cross has been stabilized (or not) by different breeders, individual phenotypes can show significant variation in characteristics. This lack of standardization means that experiences with Original Big Bud Super Skunk can differ considerably depending on the specific grower's cut or seed batch.

Original Big Bud Super Skunk Strain Growing Information
Original Big Bud Super Skunk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 150-200 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Yield is typically high, with indoor growers reporting 500-600 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, and outdoor plants producing 600-800 grams per plant.
The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) are recommended to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain has moderate resistance to common pests and molds, though the dense bud structure inherited from Big Bud genetics makes proper airflow crucial to prevent bud rot. Nutrient requirements are average, though plants may benefit from additional support during the heavy flowering phase due to the weight of the developing colas.
