Origin
Big Bang is a three-way Green House Seed Company cross of Skunk #1, Northern Lights and El Nino, with landrace genetics from Brazil, Mexico, India, Thailand and Afghanistan behind it. That deep landrace base is part of what a buyer is paying for. It has no descendants recorded here, and it is best understood as a flavor-first indica from old stock.

About
Big Bang has a cosmic name and tastes like candied apples.
Green House Seed Company built it from Skunk #1, Northern Lights and El Nino, a mix with landrace genetics from five continents. The result is a mild, nearly narcotic indica with an oddly specific flavor. THC tops out below 20 percent.
The name oversells; the flavor surprises.
What to Expect
Big Bang is a gentle, chatty indica. The one effect word on file is happy, with a talkative streak in the wider data, and the descriptions run to a mellow, near-narcotic body calm rather than anything strong. It is a night strain despite the mild THC.
Dry eyes lead the side effects here, ahead of dry mouth, with a sleepy note behind. Nothing sharper is on file. It is an easy strain at a normal dose. Not a daytime or energetic option.
Flavor and Aroma
Big Bang smells of citrus and candied fruit, with sources naming candied apples and flowers specifically. The flavor is sweet and sour orange with a lemon note. It is a distinctive, dessert-like profile for an indica.
Terpenes Explained
Big Bang has no terpene test in our data, with only Limonene and Ocimene named.
That candied-apple character sits in lighter compounds a standard panel does not report. A jar with a genuinely fruity, almost sugary smell is the one that matches the strain's reputation.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Big Bang THC is reported from about 13 to 19 percent, a moderate range, with no clean lab sample in our data. CBD can reach a couple of percent, higher than most.
Big Bang is a moderate strain sold on a big name, so buy it for the candied-apple flavor and the mellow calm, not for strength.
