Blue Bud
Blue Bud
Also known as: Cocotte Bleue
Overview
Blue Bud is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Hempire Seeds co. as a combination of Blueberry and Big Bud genetics. This strain represents the classic blue cannabis lineage that traces its origins to DJ Short's legendary Blueberry genetics from the 1970s, combined with the production qualities of Big Bud. The breeder has further crossed this combination with a 'secret strain' to enhance resistance to insects, mold, humidity, and water stress, making it particularly suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The strain maintains the compact stature characteristic of Big Bud while producing exceptionally heavy yields with superior flavor profiles. Blue Bud exhibits the typical blue-tinted characteristics of its Blueberry heritage, which result from anthocyanin compounds that become more pronounced when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The strain has gained recognition for its medicinal properties and is known for producing dense, resinous buds with an appealing aesthetic that includes potential blue and purple hues. Its development represents a modern iteration of classic blue genetics, maintaining the essential characteristics of its parent strains while improving cultivation ease and resistance properties.

Growing Information
Blue Bud is considered an excellent strain for both beginner and professional growers due to its enhanced resistance to insects, mold, humidity, and water stress. The plants remain relatively small and compact like Big Bud, making them ideal for indoor cultivation while producing incredibly heavy yields. Flowering time ranges from 60-65 days (8.5-9 weeks). The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with indoor growing being particularly recommended due to the plant's manageable size. The enhanced resistance traits make it forgiving for new growers while still rewarding experienced cultivators with substantial harvests. Plants respond well to standard indica growing techniques and benefit from proper nutrient management during the flowering period.
