Baby Boom
Also known as: Baby Boom OG, Baby Boom Kush
Baby Boom Strain Overview
Baby Boom is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, with some sources suggesting it emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2000s, while others attribute its development to underground breeding collectives. What is generally agreed upon is that Baby Boom represents a carefully selected phenotype from a larger breeding project aimed at creating a consistently potent indica with reliable growth patterns.
The strain is characterized by dense, compact buds that are typically medium to dark green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. Baby Boom plants tend to be relatively short and bushy, displaying the classic indica growth structure with broad leaves and tight internodal spacing. The strain's name likely references both its manageable size (suitable for 'baby' or small-scale grows) and its 'boom' of potent effects.
Notable features of Baby Boom include its resilience to common cultivation issues and its relatively short flowering time compared to many other high-THC indicas. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis markets despite not achieving widespread commercial distribution, suggesting it has particular appeal to home growers and connoisseurs who value its specific combination of characteristics. While not as extensively documented as some mainstream strains, Baby Boom has developed a reputation among experienced users for its reliable effects and cultivation traits.

Baby Boom Strain Growing Information
Baby Boom is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and implementing low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration to lower branches. The plants respond well to topping and can be grown in Sea of Green setups due to their uniform growth pattern.
