    Unfortunately i cannot recommend this strain.

This plant was grown under 23 CFL bulbs (26watt each). 5 Gallon air pot. Topped and LST`d. All organic with General Hydroponics BioThrive line. Flowered for 8.5 weeks. I got 58 grams DRY weight off the plant,not counting a good sized branch i broke off accidentally a few days before harvest. Should also mention under those same lights were a Northern Lights, sour D,white widow, Church, Auto SPeedy gonzales and auto NYC Diesel. I got 70 Grams off the Northern lights dry. 48 Grams of white widow, 31 grams of Church, about a little over an ounce and a quarter of Sour Diesel, and about an aounce combined off the autos. I think pretty freakin good yield for organic, soil grow. Oh also it was my First grow.
Let me know what you think. If i get some comments I will do a journal foro the whole grow. I want to but no MOtivAtiOn!!

Ya i was very surprised because of what i read about not getting yields off of CFL. I had some problems with my PH too the whole grow i couldnt get it under 7.5-7.6 for more than a day at a time. And wow i never added it up before (dont know why) and didnt realise i got 7 ounces. Now im sittin here smokin some of that Nirvana Northern Lights (gonna do a smoke report in a minute) and dreaming of the yield im gonna get off my 600W hid :-)
I have 3 Super lemon Haze, a Chocolope Kush, Sweet Afghani Delight Auto, Dark Devil Auto, Think Different, And an Auto Viking Blueberry in the tent, theyre about 10 days from germ and lookin goood.

Firstly I'm not a arjan hater he seems like a tidy guy on the expeditions, so I had train wreck 5 years ago and lucky to have a keeper which kept my faith in Ghs and ignored the bad press and decided to try GHS BIG BANG what a let down. It's a great looking plant but it literally has no trichomes and no smell. If you ever been tempted to buy it please try something else, I mean I only have a small set up to do a couple and for me to give it love and attention for 9 wks to find out it might as well been a male or something. Possibly the worst strain I've tried. How annoying another good seed bank struck off my list, I hope someone who knows or works in GHS reads this I still have 3 seeds left i am embarrassed to give them away not cool at all and now leaning towards the arjan bashers by the end of this report.

Find a better breeder, you did well for those genetics but green house seeds aren't known to have the best genetics, just the best marketing.

I was thinking the exact same thing because of all the negative anti ghs posts but i didnt see alot of pictures of people actually trying to grow any ghs stuff.
I wrote them off but my gf bought me a pack of chemdog for my birthday and im impressed so far.
I figured i should try one before writing off an entire breeder.
Im not surprised the op didnt like this one that much because i think it was meant more as a quick cash crop strain than a primo secret grower stash strain.
