Bill-Lee
Also known as: Bill Lee
Bill-Lee Strain Overview
Bill-Lee is a relatively rare cannabis strain named after the famous baseball pitcher William Francis "Bill" Lee, known for his unconventional personality and advocacy for cannabis legalization. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast genetics. It represents a balanced hybrid that combines characteristics from both indica and sativa lineages, creating a versatile profile that has gained a small but dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often have a slightly conical structure with tight calyx formation. Bill-Lee is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, herbal notes with subtle citrus undertones, creating a distinctive scent that sets it apart from more common hybrid varieties.
While not widely available in commercial markets, Bill-Lee has maintained a presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its balanced effects and unique heritage. The strain's connection to its namesake—a counterculture sports figure who openly discussed cannabis use—adds cultural significance beyond its botanical characteristics. Its relative rarity means that specific growing techniques and phenotypic expressions may vary more significantly than with widely cultivated commercial strains.

Bill-Lee Strain Growing Information
Bill-Lee is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative phase.
