Baba Addis
Baba Addis Strain Overview
Baba Addis is a relatively rare cannabis strain named in honor of the Ethiopian Rastafarian elder and spiritual figure Baba Addis. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. It appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, developed by breeders seeking to create a strain with both potent effects and spiritual resonance. The name reflects the Rastafarian tradition of honoring elders and spiritual guides, though the strain's genetic lineage doesn't have direct connections to Ethiopian landrace varieties.
The strain presents as a balanced hybrid with indica-dominant characteristics. Plants typically develop dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a dense, compact structure characteristic of indica genetics. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance that hints at their potency.
Baba Addis is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, spicy, and sweet notes. The flavor often carries through to the smoke or vapor, with users reporting a smooth experience despite the strain's high THC content. While not widely available in commercial markets, it has maintained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and spiritual namesake.

Baba Addis Strain Growing Information
Baba Addis is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
