Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Big Buddha is rather easy to grow. It can thrive in a controlled indoor climate or a Mediterranean climate outdoors. The seeds and flowers prefer semi-humid environments to grow to fruition so if you live in a northern climate where it doesn’t reach optimum temperature and humidity you might want to pivot and grow your plants indoors. Perfect for virgin growers after a short flowering stage you should find yourself harvesting solid yields of this medium THC content bud. If you prefer a mellow high that isn’t too overpowering then Big Buddha is a great strain for you.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Big Buddha Cheese plants grow better indoors than they do outdoors. Outdoor grows require specific settings and a warm, humid climate to really reach their pinnacle. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-80 degrees fahrenheit. Starting your grow with an 18-20 hour light schedule will assist in vigorous vegetative growth. Once you hit the flowering stage you will want to change to a 12 hour on and 12 hour off light cycle.
•  Moisture control: Keep humidity levels between 50-55% during the vegetative stage. Lowering the humidity down to 40-45% during the flowering stage with adequate air flow will help keep mold away from your plants.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training and topping are the perfect techniques for Big Buddha as well as Screen of Green methods. Each technique will promote light reaching all levels of your plant and will ultimately increase your final yields.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Big Buddha Cheese:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Big Buddha Cheese seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That creative, happy and euphoric feeling you get when using the Big Buddha Cheese strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at around 18%, the THC in the balanced hyrbid strain is responsible for the happy and creative feeling you get when using Big Buddha Cheese.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Big Buddha Cheese are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.

The CBD in the Big Buddha Cheese strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
