Blue Cherry Kush
Also known as: Blue Cherry OG, Cherry Blue Kush
What is the Blue Cherry Kush strain?
Blue Cherry Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and blueberry and cherry flavor profile.
Blue Cherry Kush is a relatively modern indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene. This strain represents a deliberate cross between two well-established parent strains: Blueberry and Cherry Kush. Breeders sought to combine the relaxing, sedative qualities of classic Kush varieties with the distinctive fruity flavor profiles of berry strains, resulting in a cultivar that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and appealing sensory characteristics.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually compact and conical in structure, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give them a shimmering, crystalline appearance. Blue Cherry Kush is known for its striking visual appeal, with the purple hues becoming more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Notable features of Blue Cherry Kush include its complex aromatic profile and consistent genetic expression. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in several cannabis publications for its unique combination of flavors and reliable effects. While not as historically significant as its parent strains, Blue Cherry Kush has developed a dedicated following in legal markets and medical cannabis communities for its predictable performance and therapeutic potential.

How do you grow Blue Cherry Kush?
Blue Cherry Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually 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 thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be managed. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Blue Cherry Kush prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C).
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering. The purple coloration develops best with temperature drops of 10-15°F (5-8°C) during the final weeks of flowering.
