Blackberry Float
Also known as: Blackberry Float OG
Blackberry Float Strain Overview
Blackberry Float is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Blackberry Kush with the dessert-inspired Float strain. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the robust berry characteristics of Blackberry Kush with the smooth, relaxing effects of Float. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, it has gained recognition primarily through West Coast cultivators and has become increasingly available in legal markets across North America.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring dense, conical buds with deep purple and forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the flowers a shimmering appearance that hints at its potency. The name 'Blackberry Float' references both its genetic lineage and its flavor profile, which combines berry notes with creamy undertones reminiscent of the classic ice cream dessert.
Blackberry Float is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's popularity stems from its ability to provide substantial effects while maintaining a smooth smoking experience with minimal harshness. While not among the most widely cultivated commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor combination and reliable effects.

Blackberry Float Strain Growing Information
Blackberry Float is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants exhibit indica-dominant structure with bushy growth and medium height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring for nutrient sensitivity during flowering. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
