Bay Dream
Bay Dream
Overview
Bay Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain composed of 80% sativa and 20% indica genetics. Created by Granddaddy Purple, this strain is a dreamy sativa cross between the esteemed Blue Dream and Bay 11. The strain emerged from a period when Blue Dream crosses were being explored to refine and specialize the classic's hallmark qualities, with Bay Area breeders seeking to amplify the uplift and add zestier aromatics. Bay Dream sits in the lineage of modern West Coast classics, extending the legacy of Blue Dream with a sharper, brighter top note and a zippier pace.
Visually, Bay Dream is marked by its visually striking, medium-sized nuggets with a relatively loose bud structure, typical of sativas, with soft and pliable leaves that are predominantly light green. Some phenotypes may show traces of faint to dark purple hues, which are the result of anthocyanin pigments in the plant's genetics that trigger a color change when stimulated by cold temperatures. The buds have a mellow aroma of sweet pine with small fluffy spade-shaped dark olive green nugs featuring dark purple undertones and almost translucent amber hairs, coated with a visible layer of resin and sparse chunky white trichomes.

Growing Information
Bay Dream flowers within 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors and is ready for harvest in late October when grown outdoors. Growers can expect a higher than average yield, at about 4 to 5 pounds of flower per plant. Bay Dream can grow to a height of 10 feet outdoors and grows best at 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The strain leans towards intermediate growing difficulty, requiring a controlled growing environment with careful monitoring of temperature, humidity, and lighting. For indoor cultivation, a well-ventilated space with high-quality grow lights is recommended, while outdoors it thrives in a Mediterranean-like climate. Indoor plants can be easily managed as they reach medium height and can be trained by pruning and bending early in the vegetative stage, with topping helping low-lying buds get air and sunlight.
