Animal Blues
Animal Blues
Overview
Animal Blues is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by In House Genetics, created through crossing Platinum Blueberry Kush with Animal Cookies. This carefully bred cultivar represents a sophisticated example of modern cannabis breeding, combining the genetics of two highly regarded parent strains to produce a distinctive and potent variety. The strain exhibits a notable 80% indica to 20% sativa genetic profile, resulting in predominantly relaxing effects with subtle cerebral qualities. Animal Blues is renowned for its exceptional bag appeal, featuring dense, chunky forest green buds that develop distinctive blue and purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. These oversized, tapered nugs are heavily coated in milky amber trichomes and adorned with bright orange pistils, creating a visually striking appearance that reflects its premium genetics. The strain's aromatic profile is complex and inviting, combining sweet fruity berry notes inherited from its Platinum Blueberry Kush lineage with the earthy, nutty characteristics of Animal Cookies. This results in a distinctive scent that blends blueberry and cherry undertones with biscuity, earthy base notes and subtle spicy, piney accents that become more pronounced when the flower is broken apart.

Growing Information
Animal Blues is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (approximately 56-70 days). The strain exhibits typical indica growth characteristics with squat, bushy plants featuring strong lateral branches and minimal stretch during flowering. Indoor yields average 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation in suitable climates can produce 400-500 grams per plant. The strain thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be monitored closely, though it requires hot and humid conditions with consistent sunlight for optimal outdoor results. Growers can enhance the strain's distinctive blue and purple coloration by exposing plants to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle. The plants are considered moderately easy to grow but benefit from training techniques such as LST (Low Stress Training) or topping to maximize yields. Proper ventilation is essential to prevent mold, and harvest timing is crucial - trichomes should be predominantly milky white with some amber for optimal potency and flavor.
