Big Buddha Seeds
From the underground networks of the UK arose a cutting that
became the infamous “G,” also known as G-Force. G’s origins
are unknown, but it has been making the rounds since the early
1990s. Rumors or educated guesses as to its composition have
included Sensi’s G-13 indica and Flying Dutchmen’s spicy Pot
of Gold, but these are unverified. Such guesses are based on
the qualities that G shares in common with superstar Dutch
indicas—a hardy and vigorous dark indica growth pattern, a
unique effervescent quality, and a decidedly spicy hash taste.
When G-Force made it into the hands of Big Buddha, it was
considered worthwhile to develop. Big Buddha feminized G by
crossing it with a reversed G clone father, resulting in allfemale, all-G strain, the G-Bomb. As a hefty indica, G-Bomb is a high yielding plant that forms gigantic colas the size of one’s
forearm. This plant likes to form a dense and impressive main
central bud, making it a very solid choice for sea of green
setups. If sea of green is unappealing, not to worry. Over many
years, this strain has been grown in just about every common
method from screen of green, big pots, hydro, coco, you name
it—and its solid indica diligence leads it to perform admirably
across the board. As such, it is a good plant to build up a
beginner’s confidence.
G-Bomb loves to be fed well and eats heavily. Indoor plants
finish in 8–10 weeks, and outdoor plants can be harvested at
the end of October. A little temperature variability is all right
as long as the weather stays above freezing. G-Bomb maintains
a steady monochromatic green, even when the nights turn cool.
These plants also stay pretty short; at maximum outdoor sizes,
they are still under the 6-foot mark (around 1.8 meters) at
finish. Certainly size matters, but the right kind of size—not
plant size, but bud size! This is where G-Bomb cashes in,
delivering outdoor yields of up to 900 grams (nearly 2 pounds)
per plant.
The G-Bomb aroma has been best described as dank lemony
hashish. The citrus bite and an edge of spice will come through
in the flavor. G-Bomb is a deep stone, with sedative potency. It
is a great addition to the medicine stash of chronic pain
sufferers, insomniacs, or others who want the soothing effects
of a heavy, slow-release body indica.
