Terpenes
Terpenes are another type of compound that is found within the cannabis plant. These compounds are present throughout nature, and every plant has a unique combination of terpenes that gives rise to different flavors and fragrances, which is why different strains of cannabis vary in smell and taste.

Myrcene
Ocimene
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.
Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Medical Applications
Utilizing CBD and other phytocannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis may help replace the lost endocannabinoids, helping treat pain and mood disorders associated with NF1 gene mutations. Using THC may help boost dopamine levels in the brain.
Medical cannabis may also help reduce the intake of stimulant medications. Terpenes like beta-caryophyllene and limonene may be beneficial for reducing the intake of stimulants and addiction in general.
THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to relieve some of the pain and other symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.
People with PTSD have more CB1 receptors in areas of the brain associated with fear and anxiety. Targeting CB1 receptors with plant cannabinoids (phytocannabinoids) can help relieve some anxiety associated with PTSD. THC may also aid sleep and reduce the occurrence of nightmares.
THC can stimulate the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.
Dosing
Dosing is a very personal issue. Bay Dream has a 26% THC punch, so it’s probably not the best strain for a first-time user. Indulge in a small dose and be aware of the slow onset of effects. Classic overindulgence can occur in users who don’t wait for the effects.
Taking too large a dose may result in dizziness, nausea, and a racing mind, with the potential for scattered thinking and panic in inexperienced users.
Growing
The Grandaddy Purple Collective has not released Bay Dream seeds for commercial purchase, so potential growers need to source cuttings to produce clones.
Height
Bay Dream can grow to a height of 10 feet outdoors.
Humidity and Temperature
This sativa-leaning hybrid strain grows best outdoors at 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Growers could expose Bay Dream to colder temperatures just before flowering to trigger purple hues on the leaves.
Flowering
Bay Dream strain can flower in approximately nine to 10 weeks and produce a high yield of around 14 ounces.
