That's a nice plant and bud, CareStaker.
Have you considered doing a smoke report on it, at least you have an objective standpoint and it would be very useful..?
Thanks kindly, narush. The quick down and dirty.....The one I had looked and grew more sativa than expected, given the parental lines, and it comes out in the smoke. She smells very fruity, grapey, with some topnotes of mild spice and sweet florals. There's not much underlying dankness, musk or skunk. When you light her up and inhale, the aromas translate directly to taste. The effect is immediate, and uplifting with and just the right amount of energy to not be buzzy. I can count to ten, and know that by the time I hit ten, I'll be smiling wide - every single time. The effect is long lasting, and does get a bit fuzzy minded as you go up the ladder, and will tire you out if you go to far. The energy component is greater than it is in any other 'Kush' I've had, but it has good balance with the other effects - good synergy. Great for daytime and nightime if doesd correctly. Easy to grow, vigorous, and the pheno I pulled is total headstash. It could just be a happy accident, but it's happy enough for me to toss the other two seeds I have on the next seed grow.
BDOGKush, I've never grown BigBud so I can't really say, sorry.
