Growing Tips for Big Buddha Cheese
Big Buddha is easy to grow even for first-time cultivators. It thrives in a controlled indoor climate or a Mediterranean climate outdoors. The seeds and flowers prefer semi-humid environments to grow to fruition, so if you live in a climate where it doesn’t reach optimum temperature and humidity, you might want to pivot and grow your plants indoors. Perfect for virgin growers, after a short flowering stage, you should find yourself harvesting solid yields of this dank and delightful bud. If you prefer a mellow high that isn’t too overpowering, then Big Buddha is a great strain for you. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept around 50-55% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40-45% during the flowering stage of growth. Keeping the humidity levels below 60% will help keep mold and mildew off your plants. Low-stress training and topping are the perfect techniques for Big Buddha, as well as Screen of Green methods. Each technique will promote light reaching all levels of your plant and will ultimately increase your final yields. Big Buddha Cheese plants require an 18-20 hour light cycle to get them started and to get them through the vegetative stage. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. You can maintain this light cycle through to your harvest.
