In the last decades, there have been more than a few musicians associated with cannabis. Not that any of them were cultivating or selling weed. But because they do use marijuana, some breeders have taken to naming some hybrids after them. For instance, Bodhi Seeds named a strain they developed after a music documentary, Sunshine Daydream, featuring the Grateful Dead back in the 70s.
Information about Sunshine Daydream:
To develop this hybrid, the breeder selected a male Appalachia as one of the parent strains. A descendant of Green Crack and Tres Dawg, this hybrid boast of a dreamy cerebral high followed by a full-body relaxation.
For the female plant, the breeder used a hybrid they previously developed Bubbashine (Bubba Kush x Blue Moonshine), a heavy-hitting Indica strain that can induce a heavy couch-lock after delivering its sedating physical effects.
Possessing an average of 19% THC, Sunshine Daydream is a very potent strain. A few tokes and it takes users to a blissful high before leaving users in deep relaxation. Not only is it an excellent hybrid for recreational use, but it is also a highly sought after medical cannabis.

Growing
Like typical Indica plants, Sunshine Daydream does not grow tall and tends to be bushy with a lot of lateral branching. It thrives indoors or outdoors.
Sunshine Strain
Sunshine can brighten the day. Like its namesake, it brings a ray of hope on an otherwise gloomy day. And, it is not only recreational users who benefit from its optimistic high. Read our full review!
One thing that growers can do before flowering is to expose the plant to some 10 degrees lower temperature to induce purple hues on its leaves and buds. Not that it has a bearing on its potency or yield, but it certainly makes it look much more beautiful.
Flowering Time
Indoors
Due to its pungent odor, growers will want to install a carbon-activated filter in the indoor habitat to eliminate the smell. It should be ready for flowering in 8 to 9 weeks. Under 600 watts of lighting, the estimated yield is 10 to 12 ounces per square meter.
Outdoors
Sunshine Daydream loves a semi-humid environment. Under normal conditions, it should start transitioning to bloom stage in the first two weeks of October. Once it reaches maturity, growers can expect to pick up at least 12 ounces of buds each plant.
