Big Bang Feminized Seeds by Green House Seed Co. – Legendary Skunk x Northern Lights x El Niño Genetics

Big Bang feminized seeds from Green House Seed Co. are your ticket to cultivating a legendary, high-yielding medical strain with rock-solid genetics and a famously balanced, calming effect.

Ever feel like your grow space is a constant battle against height restrictions and low yields? You're not alone. Many growers struggle with sativa-dominant monsters that stretch out of control or finicky plants that promise big but deliver small. This frustration wastes time, light, and nutrients, leaving you with a harvest that doesn't meet your needs. The solution is a plant built for efficiency and power. Big Bang is that solution: a compact, bushy, indica-dominant powerhouse designed to maximize your space and reward your effort with heavy, trichome-laden buds.

Before You Pop Your Big Bang Seeds

Preparation is key to unlocking this strain's potential. Start with a quality, well-aerated substrate like our Coco Mix to ensure excellent drainage and root health. Big Bang thrives in a controlled environment. For indoor growers, plan your space; this plant grows wider than taller, making it a prime candidate for a ScrOG (Screen of Green) setup to maximize canopy coverage.

• Germinate in a warm (22–25 °C / 71–77 °F), humid environment using the paper towel method.
• Transplant into its final pot early to avoid stress. A 15–20 L (3.96–5.28 gal) container is ideal for photoperiod plants.
• Ensure your grow area has good airflow from the start to strengthen stems and prevent issues later.
• Have a simple, balanced nutrient regimen ready. A beginner-friendly kit like the Try-Pack Kit for 3 Plants covers all the bases.

During the Big Bang Grow Cycle

During the vegetative stage, Big Bang exhibits vigorous, bushy growth with tight internodal spacing. It responds very well to low-stress training (LST) to open up the canopy. Keep temperatures between 22–26 °C (71.6–78.8 °F) and humidity around 60–70%. When you switch the lights to 12/12 for flowering, expect a moderate stretch. The plant will fill out with dense, compact colas that quickly become heavy with resin. Maintain humidity around 40–50% during flowering and ensure constant, gentle air movement around the buds.

After Harvest: Results and Enjoyment

After a flowering period of approximately 8–9 weeks indoors, you'll be rewarded with a substantial harvest of rock-hard, frosty nugs. The aroma is a complex blend of sweet Skunk, earthy Northern Lights, and spicy, pungent notes from El Niño, often described as having hints of floral sweetness and apple. The effect is profoundly relaxing and calming, making it a perfect evening strain. Post-harvest, a proper dry (10–14 days at 18–22 °C / 64.4–71.6 °F and 50–60% RH) and cure (2–4 weeks in jars) will refine the flavours and smooth out the smoke.

Short- and Long-Term Advantages and Benefits

• Immediate Space Efficiency: Its naturally short, bushy stature (0.80–1.10 m / 2.62–3.61 ft indoors) makes it perfect for tents or spaces with height limits.
• Quick Satisfaction: As a photoperiod, you control the veg time, but its 8–9 week flowering period is relatively swift for the yield it provides.
• High Yield Guarantee: Proven genetics deliver consistently heavy harvests—up to 800 g/m² (2.63 oz/ft²) indoors or 1000 g/plant (2.20 lb/plant) outdoors.
• Medicinal Powerhouse: Renowned for its therapeutic effects, ideal for unwinding after a long day or managing discomfort.
• Grower-Friendly: High resistance to common moulds and pests makes it a reliable choice for beginners and experts alike.
• ScrOG Specialist: Its lateral growth pattern is perfectly suited for screen-of-green techniques, maximizing light penetration and yield.
• Consistent Genetics: Green House's stabilization means predictable results, pheno after pheno, grow after grow.
• Flavour Journey: The cure unlocks deeper layers of its complex terpene profile, offering a tasting experience that evolves over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Big Bang good for a first-time grower?

Absolutely. Its resilience to mould and pests, combined with manageable size and predictable growth pattern, makes it an excellent choice for beginners. Just stick to a simple feeding schedule.

How tall does Big Bang get indoors?

It stays relatively short and bushy, typically wider than it is tall. With training, you can easily keep it under 1 m (3.28 ft), making it ideal for confined spaces.

What does Big Bang smell like while growing?

The aroma is strong and complex—sweet, skunky, and earthy with spicy undertones. A carbon filter is highly recommended for indoor cultivation to manage the potent scent.

What is the best way to train Big Bang?

Low-Stress Training (LST) and ScrOG (Screen of Green) are highly effective. Its bushy, lateral growth habit responds perfectly to being tied down or guided through a screen to create an even canopy.

When is Big Bang ready to harvest outdoors?

In the Northern Hemisphere, expect harvest time around the end of September. Always check trichomes with a jeweller's loupe for the perfect milky-to-amber ratio based on your desired effect.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Big Bang has been a staple in my personal garden for years, and it's one I always recommend to growers looking for reliability and a heavy-handed indica effect. I love how it practically trains itself—just a little LST early on and it becomes a perfect, flat canopy of buds. I've found it performs exceptionally well in a simple soil mix, but it truly shines in coco where you can push the nutrients a bit more during the stretch. My preferred method is a ScrOG net; it keeps the structure in check and turns a single plant into a tabletop of solid colas. The aroma during the last few weeks is intense; my whole room smells like a sweet, earthy spice shop. For feeding, I keep it straightforward: a good base nutrient during veg, then I introduce a PK booster like Green Sensation by Plagron around week 3 of flower to really pump up those already-dense buds. The smoke is smooth and deeply relaxing—perfect for shutting down after a long day. It's not the most exotic flavour on the market, but for sheer yield, ease of growth, and consistent medicinal effect, it's incredibly hard to beat. A true workhorse strain.
