Black n Blue
Also known as: Black and Blue, Black 'n Blue
Black n Blue Strain Overview
Black n Blue is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Black Domina and Blueberry. The strain first emerged in the early 2000s from breeders seeking to combine the potent sedative qualities of Black Domina with the flavorful berry characteristics of Blueberry. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Black n Blue has gained recognition among enthusiasts for its distinctive appearance and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a deep forest green coloration that often appears nearly black in certain lighting conditions. These dark hues are frequently accentuated by vibrant purple and blue undertones, particularly in cooler growing environments. The flowers are generously coated in frosty trichomes and feature contrasting orange pistils that create a visually striking appearance. The name "Black n Blue" directly references this unique color combination that has become the strain's signature characteristic.
Black n Blue is known for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet berry notes with earthy, skunky undertones. The flavor follows a similar pattern, offering a smooth smoke with pronounced berry sweetness on the inhale that transitions to deeper, earthier notes on the exhale. While not among the most commercially widespread strains, Black n Blue maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its aesthetic appeal and reliable indica-leaning effects.

Black n Blue Strain Growing Information
Black n Blue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to enhance the strain's characteristic coloration and providing adequate support for the dense, resinous buds. Growers should monitor humidity levels closely during late flowering to prevent mold development in the thick colas.
