Breeder's Description - 'Northern Lights x Big Bud'
|
Northern Lights x Big Bud was developed with the grower and smoker in mind. Big Bud has outragouse yield but tends to be a bit weak for the heavy smoker. Crossing Big Bud with a very potent Northern lights has made a more potent bud with losing only a small percent of the yield. The smoke from Northern Lights x Big Bud is rich and deep and the taste is lightly skunky.

10 NLxBB seeds were germed along with 10 B52s(a whole different story).The 5 most vigorous were selected and grown on an NFT 604 with the 5 B52s.
VEG growth:18/6.Early growth was vigorous producing a short squat plant with lime green leaves.They seemed to appreciate very much a graduated nute program erring on the low side of the Cf scale.
At 6 weeks and with height of 16-18",flowering was induced.
Flowering:12/12:Early stretching was quick but slowed considerably in comparison to the B52s.Between 7 and 15 days from the light change,2 females had shown themselves and of course the males were pulled.Pistil growth was spectacular,the plants soon leaving the B52s far behind.The buds started to pack it on around day 30 and continued until harvest which was at day 61.Ina ll honesty the plants could have gone another week but circumsatnces meant they had to finish.As You can see on the photos the finished colas were very impressive in size.What the photos can't convey is the stickiness of the flowers.
Odour:I utilise a carbon filter and it was most definitely required.Althought the smell was by no means overpowering it was detctable in the nest room and a filter has to be recommended.
Yield:The 2 plant yielded approx 5 OZ each dry.I am more than happy with that.I knwo of people who have yielded more but also of people who have gotten less so I'll settle for what I got.
Effects:This baby is all in the head.(Possible because they were pulled slightly early?)but its the headiest buzz I've had for a while.Coming home at 10pm yesterday after a 14 hour shift,it kept me up till after midnight all tiredness gone.
Taste:Presently,the buds are still curing.The taste and smell is detectable and is lemony with a spicy kick but the juries still out on this.
