Baja Blast
Baja Blast
Also known as: Mountain Dew Baja Blast, Mtn Deux Baja Blast, Baja Blast S1, Wild Baja Blast
Overview
Baja Blast is a cannabis strain with somewhat uncertain origins, as there is little documented information about its production history and multiple breeders claim to have created variations of this strain. The strain was believed to have been created by mixing a grapefruit strain with a diesel strain, both noted for their strong flavors and effects. It is generally accepted that the strain was bred in the United States, quite likely California. The most documented version is Mountain Dew Baja Blast by Mosca Seeds, which is a 60% indica-dominant hybrid created from crossing Sour Kush and Pink 2.0 strains. This particular breeding project took five years to complete, with Mosca Seeds waiting to find the perfect Pink 2.0 male plant to pollinate their Sour Kush female. Named after the popular Mountain Dew Baja Blast soda flavor, this strain aims to capture the essence of a refreshing, tropical experience in cannabis form. The buds are dense and compact with medium to large size and a chunky, globe-like shape, displaying bright greens with violet and blue hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering.

Growing Information
Baja Blast grows as a fairly compact 60% indica strain reaching an average height of 107 cm, taking 9 weeks to finish flowering indoors with yields of about 1000 grams per plant when given sufficient vegetative time and space. Outdoors, it will be ready in October, making it less suitable for outdoor cultivation in temperate regions. Under optimal conditions with direct sunlight and open ground cultivation, it can produce over 1kg of dry flowers per plant outdoors, while indoors it can easily yield more than 500g per m2 of high-quality, dense, and resinous buds. This strain requires a moderate level of expertise as its rapid growth and vigorous development are best handled by growers who have a couple of grow cycles under their belts. Baja Blast performs best in Mediterranean-type climates with mild temperatures and moderate humidity, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation offers better environmental control.
