Bering Sea Blues
Also known as: BSB
Bering Sea Blues Strain Overview
Bering Sea Blues is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but most sources trace it to Oregon-based cultivators who sought to create a strain with unique terpene profiles and balanced effects. The name references the Bering Sea region, though the connection appears to be more poetic than geographical, possibly alluding to the strain's cool-toned appearance and calming effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep purple and blue hues with vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually distinctive appearance. The coloration is most pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance that contributes to their visual appeal and potency.
Bering Sea Blues has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. While not widely available in commercial markets, it has maintained a cult following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. The strain's rarity and distinctive characteristics have made it a subject of interest among cannabis enthusiasts, though comprehensive information about its development and genetics remains limited compared to more mainstream varieties.

Bering Sea Blues Strain Growing Information
Bering Sea Blues is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled environment and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Bering Sea Blues benefits from cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering to enhance its distinctive purple coloration. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and manage plant structure.
