it's a potent strain and a heavy indica but you must be careful about where/who they come from. dj short is the one to look for as bb has been knocked off by many with some weak potency results. it's really no harder than any other but does have a tendency to start seedling stage with crumpled and twisted leaves which they outgrow. bb has always been one of my top picks along with it's many hybrids that have been made using it (sweet tooth, shishkeberry, nl x bb, etc etc etc) but the breeder is the one to shop for with bb...
