Blue Barrel OG
Also known as: Blue Barrel OG Kush, Blue Barrel
Blue Barrel OG Strain Overview
Blue Barrel OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, specifically associated with California breeders. The strain represents a carefully crafted combination of classic OG Kush genetics with Blueberry lineage, resulting in a plant that exhibits characteristics of both parent strains. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources agree it was developed by crossing a Blueberry phenotype with a selected OG Kush cut, though some accounts suggest additional genetic contributions from other indica-dominant varieties.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a complex coloration palette. The flowers typically show deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The name 'Blue Barrel' references both its Blueberry heritage and the barrel-like shape of its compact buds. The plant structure tends to be indica-dominant with broad leaves and moderate internodal spacing, though it can exhibit some sativa-like stretching during flowering.
Blue Barrel OG has gained recognition for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. The strain is noted for its relatively consistent performance across different growing environments and has become popular among both medical and recreational users. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream OG varieties, it maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets and among connoisseurs who appreciate its specific combination of effects and flavors.

Blue Barrel OG Strain Growing Information
Blue Barrel OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, implementing proper nutrient management as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding, and employing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield and manage height. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) methods and produces dense, resinous buds that benefit from good air circulation.
