More about Big Bud Automatic
Big Bud Automatic by Sensi Seeds is just as classic now as it was when it first appeared on the market 40 years ago. Originally bred in the U.S. during the 1980s, the Big Bud strain quickly became well known thanks to its huge yields and knockout effects. Later, when it made its way to the Netherlands, Sensi Seeds took things to the next level, adding premium genetics, stabilizing its performance, and creating the autoflowering jewel we know today. Big Bud Automatic combines potency, resilience, and effortless cultivation. Big Bud has received great awards over the years, including the 1989 High Times Cannabis Cup in the Indica Cup category.
Skunk #1
One half of the Big Bud genetics, Skunk #1, is one of the most iconic cannabis strains ever created. This balanced sativa-indica hybrid is known for its unmistakable skunky scent and energetic kick. In Big Bud Automatic, Skunk #1 adds a sharp, pungent aroma and a bit of mental stimulation to balance out the deep indica body high. It also boosts overall growth, helping the plant grow strong and steady from start to finish. If you are into iconic, old school cannabis strains, you can get your hands on Skunk #1 seeds by Sensi Seeds now, thanks to Sirius!
Northern Lights
Northern Lights is a legendary indica with Afghan roots, growing dense, crystal-coated buds with a calming, full-body effect. Northern Lights is what gives Big Bud Automatic its compact stature, resin-heavy flowers, and relaxing effects. It’s also responsible for much of the strain’s resilience, making it a forgiving option for newer and less experienced growers. Sirius online Seedshop sells Northern Lights seeds from Sensi Seeds so that you can grow this widespread favorite at home!
Ruderalis
To make it truly effortless, Sensi Seeds added Ruderalis genetics into the mix. This cannabis variety doesn’t rely on light cycles to flower, which makes Big Bud Automatic really easy to grow. Thanks to the ruderalis genetics, you get a fast grow time, potentially multiple harvests per year, and solid results even in cooler climates.

Effects of Big Bud Automatic Sensi Seeds
Big Bud Automatic Sensi Seeds delivers a mellow body high that wraps around you like a warm blanket. This is one of those strains that’s made for chilling out after a long day, due to its 80% indica genetic dominance. Expect to feel a full-body relaxation throughout the high, while the 20% sativa genetics adds just enough mental lift to keep things from getting too sleepy.
With THC levels between 15% and 18%, the effects are good but smooth, making it a great choice if you do not smoke every day or generally prefer softer weed. Its low CBD content means the experience is more about the classic THC high than the therapeutic benefits associated with CBD weed. That said, if you are specifically looking for CBD medicinal cannabis seeds, Sirius Seedshop has plenty of options for you, from pure CBD strains to 50/50 THC and CBD strains!
Warning: While cannabis can help alleviate various symptoms, it may also worsen anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues for some individuals. Always consult your healthcare professional before using cannabis as a treatment.
