Blue Cadillac
Also known as: Blue Caddy
Blue Cadillac Strain Overview
Blue Cadillac is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive appearance and complex flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is generally believed to be a cross between Blueberry and Cadillac Purple, combining the genetics of two well-regarded parent strains. Some sources suggest it may also contain genetics from other purple varieties, contributing to its unique coloration. The strain emerged in the early 2000s and has been cultivated by several breeders, though it remains less common than many mainstream hybrids.
The plant is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a range of colors from deep forest green to vibrant purple, often with bright orange pistils weaving through the flowers. The purple hues become more pronounced as the plant matures and experiences cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's name reflects both its blueberry lineage and the luxurious, smooth experience many users report.
Blue Cadillac is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Blue Cadillac has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics and reliable effects. The strain's relative rarity means that specific characteristics can vary between different growers' expressions of the genetics.

Blue Cadillac Strain Growing Information
Blue Cadillac is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (70-80°F during day, 60-70°F at night) and providing good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. The purple coloration is enhanced by exposing plants to cooler temperatures (around 60°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering.
