Baldy
Also known as: BCSC Baldy
Baldy Strain Overview
Baldy is a distinctive indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by British Columbia Seed Company (BCSC) through the crossing of Big Bud and Northern Lights #5. This strain was specifically bred to address the shortcomings of Big Bud, which while known for its high yields, was criticized for mediocre taste and limited psychoactive effects. By incorporating Northern Lights #5 genetics, BCSC created a strain that maintains the commercial viability of its Big Bud parent while significantly improving flavor profile and potency. The strain is particularly notable for its exceptionally low odor production during cultivation, making it an ideal choice for discrete indoor growing operations. The name "Baldy" may reference the strain's tendency to produce buds with minimal red or orange pistils compared to other varieties. Originally developed for large-scale commercial cultivation, Baldy has gained recognition among both commercial producers and home growers seeking a stable, high-yielding strain with improved characteristics over its Big Bud lineage.
