What is the Blue 16 strain?
Blue 16 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and blueberry flavor profile.
Blue 16 is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by the renowned California-based breeder Grandiflora Genetics. This exceptional strain is the result of crossing Blue Cookies (also known as "2 Took Blue Cookies") with Project 4516, creating a unique genetic combination that inherits the best traits from both parent strains. First developed in 2018, Blue 16 showcases Grandiflora Genetics' commitment to meticulous breeding and genetic excellence. The strain features striking visual appeal with deep blue-green nugs that exhibit enchanting purple and midnight blue hues, especially when broken open. The buds are dense and heavily coated with a thick, frosty layer of blue-tinted white crystal trichomes, complemented by thick orange pistils that wrap around each nug. Blue 16's remarkable appearance is matched by its complex aromatic profile, which blends sweet fruity notes of blueberry and candied fruit with creamy vanilla cookie fragrances, doughy cream elements, and subtle herbal earthiness. The strain also displays spiced nuttiness and hints of citrus, creating a multi-layered sensory experience that has made it a favorite among cannabis connoisseurs.
