Auto Big Bud
Also known as: Big Bud Auto, Big Bud Autoflower, Auto Big Bud Autoflowering
Overview
Auto Big Bud traces its origins to the original Big Bud strain, which was first developed in the United States in the 1980s. To preserve its genetics during the War on Drugs era, it was transported to the Netherlands, where breeders at Sensi Seeds refined and stabilized it. The autoflowering version was later created by introducing Ruderalis genetics to the original Big Bud strain, allowing the plant to flower automatically based on age rather than photoperiod. As an 80% indica-dominant hybrid with 20% sativa characteristics, Auto Big Bud inherits its robust genetics from classic strains including Afghan, Northern Lights, and Skunk #1. This genetic combination results in a plant that delivers substantial yields while maintaining the signature characteristics that made the original Big Bud famous. Auto Big Bud is renowned for its substantial yields, rapid growth cycle, and impressive bud production. The strain completes its flowering phase in approximately 6 to 8 weeks, with a total lifecycle of around 13 to 17 weeks from seed to harvest. Despite reaching medium heights of 90 to 130 cm indoors and up to 150 cm outdoors, it produces large, dense, and resinous buds that often require branch support due to their weight. The strain has become a favorite among marijuana growers because it's easy to grow, resists pests and diseases well, produces huge buds, and has a really high yielding potential when compared to the autoflowering standard.

Growing Information
Growing Big Bud Auto is suitable for both beginners and experts. This strain stands out for its ease of cultivation, making it an ideal choice for those just starting in the world of cannabis growing. From germination to harvest, this strain completes its cycle in just 65 days. Indoor growers can expect yields ranging from 400 to 450 grams per square meter (up to 500gr/m2 under optimal conditions), while outdoor plants may produce between 100 to 175 grams each. This strain thrives in temperate and sunny climates, with ideal daytime temperatures around 69.8°F to 78.8°F, though its resilience allows it to adapt to a wide range of environments. Plants typically reach heights of 24 to 39 inches indoors and up to 47 inches outdoors. Due to the indica genetics, buds grow denser than usual, requiring adequate airflow to prevent mold. The strain responds well to gentle training techniques like LST. This autoflower can reach heights of 2'7"-4' (80-120 cm), making it suitable for discreet grows.
