Bear Dance
Bear Dance
Overview
Bear Dance is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain meticulously bred by the renowned 303 Seeds of Colorado. Created by crossing a Humboldt Snowcap mother (a cross of Humboldt Snow and Haze) with a Pure Kush x Uzbeki Hashplant father, this strain represents a sophisticated blend of genetics that delivers both recreational and medicinal benefits. The strain was originally thought to contain Durban Poison genetics due to its sativa nature and lemon zest terpene profile, but was later identified as containing Snowcap genetics.
Bear Dance is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, grape-shaped dusty green buds adorned with thin amber hairs and a generous coating of lavender-tinted crystal trichomes that give it a frosted, almost snowy appearance. The strain is known for its powerful and complex aroma profile that marries earthy richness with bursts of citrus, particularly dominant lemon zest notes, complemented by herbal undertones and subtle spicy accents. The funkiness of its aroma and flavor profile has made it a standout strain among cannabis connoisseurs, with many noting its ability to dominate even the skunkiest of rooms with ease.
This strain is particularly renowned for its potent effects and high THC content, making it suitable primarily for experienced cannabis users. Bear Dance has gained recognition for its versatility, appealing to both recreational users seeking an energetic, creative high and medical patients looking for symptom relief. The strain exemplifies modern cannabis breeding excellence, representing the culmination of careful genetic selection and stabilization techniques employed by 303 Seeds.

Growing Information
Bear Dance is recommended for intermediate to experienced growers due to its moderate difficulty level and specific growth characteristics. The strain has a flowering time of 9-11 weeks and is known for its significant stretch during the flowering phase, requiring adequate canopy space for optimal light penetration. Indoor yields average around 500 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 800 grams per plant. The strain grows well both indoors and outdoors, reaching heights of 30-60 inches, with indoor cultivation offering better environmental control. Plants thrive in temperatures between 70-85°F with humidity levels of 55-68% during vegetative stage and 50-60% during flowering. Training techniques such as topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and SCROG are recommended to manage the vigorous growth pattern and optimize yields. The strain is resilient against common pests and diseases, though proper ventilation is essential due to its strong aroma during flowering.
