Blissful Wizard IX
Also known as: Blissful Wizard, BWS
Overview
Blissful Wizard IX is a balanced 50/50 indica-sativa hybrid strain developed by The Captain's Connection, representing the IX (ninth generation) version of their flagship Blissful Wizard line. This strain is a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Captain's Cookies, resulting in an intensely potent cultivar with exceptionally high THC levels reaching up to 34%. The strain gained significant recognition in 2015 when it won first place in the Non-Solvent Hash category at the SoCal High Times Cannabis Cup, establishing its reputation as a premium hash-making variety. Blissful Wizard IX produces dense, resin-coated buds that are small to medium-sized with a pebble-like structure, featuring forest green coloration with vibrant orange pistils and an abundant coating of crystalline white trichomes. The strain's extraordinary trichome production makes it highly valued for concentrate production, particularly solventless extraction methods. Known for its decadent flavor profile combining lemon, lime, and cream notes with earthy undertones, this cultivar has become a cornerstone strain in The Captain's Connection breeding program and is used as a parent strain in many of their newer hybrid developments.

Growing Information
Blissful Wizard IX presents a moderate growing difficulty suitable for intermediate to experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-64 days) and is photoperiodic, requiring careful attention to light cycles. Plants remain compact at 0-4 feet in height, making them suitable for limited space cultivation. Indoor yields range from 250-400 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 250-500 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers warm, temperate to Mediterranean climates with 40-50% humidity during flowering and temperatures no higher than 75°F. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping and LST are recommended to maximize yields and ensure proper light penetration. Plants require good airflow and ventilation to prevent mold and mildew. Harvest typically occurs in late September to early October for outdoor cultivation.
