Also known as: Blueberry, Blueberry Kush
What is the Blue Berries strain?
Blue Berries is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and blueberry flavor profile.
Blue Berries is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain that has maintained popularity since its development in the late 1970s. The strain was originally bred by legendary cannabis breeder DJ Short, who crossed a Thai sativa with a Purple Thai and an Afghani indica. This genetic combination resulted in a strain that became famous for its distinctive blueberry aroma and flavor profile, which was relatively unique in the cannabis world at the time of its creation. The strain's development represented a significant achievement in cannabis breeding, as it successfully combined desirable flavor characteristics with reliable growing traits and potent effects.
Blue Berries plants are characterized by their dense, resinous buds that often display a range of purple and blue hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering stage. The leaves may also show purple coloration, and the buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's most notable feature is its unmistakable aroma, which strongly resembles fresh blueberries with sweet, fruity undertones. This distinctive scent has made Blue Berries one of the most recognizable strains in cannabis culture.
The strain has been used extensively in breeding programs and has contributed genetics to numerous popular hybrid strains. Despite its age, Blue Berries remains a sought-after strain for both recreational and medicinal users due to its consistent effects and unique sensory profile. It has won multiple awards at cannabis competitions, including first place in the indica category at the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup, cementing its status as a legendary strain in cannabis history.

How do you grow Blue Berries?
Blue Berries is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown 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 prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and does well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, typically reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Blue Berries requires careful attention to humidity levels, particularly during the flowering stage, as the dense buds are susceptible to mold and mildew. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to improve yields and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and providing good air circulation throughout the grow space. The strain's tendency to develop purple and blue coloration is enhanced by exposing plants to cooler temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final weeks of flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, and growers should be cautious with nitrogen during flowering to avoid nutrient burn.
