Not an actual strain

Big Bud Feminized is the strain Sensi built around a single dominant specification: maximum yield per square metre. An 85% indica, 15% sativa hybrid, she's prized around the world for bumper harvests — one of the main reasons the strain is a popular commercial option. The original Big Bud dates back to the 1980s US, but the War on Drugs drove breeders to bring the strain to the Netherlands, where Sensi added Skunk #1 and Northern Lights into the genetic makeup to produce the modern Big Bud: robust, skunky, and capable of impressive harvests. She took a Cannabis Cup in the Indica category shortly after entering the market. Deliciously sweet, fruity aroma with notes that users often compare to molasses, huge resin-coated buds, and a potent relaxing stone. Also available as Big Bud Regular and Big Bud Automatic for growers with different format requirements.
