Bacon
Bacon Strain Overview
Bacon is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention primarily through online cannabis communities and seed banks. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation from established breeders. Most available information suggests it emerged in the early 2010s, likely developed by smaller-scale breeders rather than major cannabis genetics companies. The name appears to be primarily marketing-driven, playing on the novelty of a strain named after a popular food item, though some users report detecting savory, meaty undertones in its aroma profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The coloration can vary significantly depending on growing conditions, particularly temperature fluctuations during the flowering phase. Bacon's visual appeal is one of its notable characteristics, with the contrast between dark foliage and bright pistils making it visually striking.
In terms of cultivation, Bacon is considered a moderately challenging strain to grow, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. It tends to have a longer flowering time than many commercial hybrids, which may contribute to its relative rarity in mainstream markets. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, with both cerebral and physical components. Due to its limited commercial availability and inconsistent genetic stabilization, individual phenotypes can vary considerably, making generalized descriptions somewhat speculative.

Bacon Strain Growing Information
Bacon is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, recommended for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 9 to 11 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Bacon requires careful attention to nutrient levels and is sensitive to overwatering. The strain benefits from techniques like low-stress training to improve light penetration and air circulation. Temperature fluctuations during the final weeks of flowering can enhance purple coloration in the buds.
