Blue Cush
Also known as: Blue Kush
What is the Blue Cush strain?
Blue Cush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and blueberry and earthy flavor profile.
Blue Cush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly gaining popularity in California and Colorado. The strain represents a carefully selected cross between two renowned parent strains: Blueberry and OG Kush. Breeders sought to combine Blueberry's distinctive fruity flavor profile and relaxing effects with OG Kush's potent cerebral impact and earthy pine notes, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has become favored by both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a striking color palette. Deep forest green nugs are accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance. When properly cultivated, Blue Cush buds may exhibit subtle purple and blue hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions, which contribute to its name. The nugs are typically compact and resinous, breaking apart to reveal a complex aromatic profile.
Blue Cush has gained recognition for its well-rounded effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's popularity stems from its ability to provide substantial therapeutic benefits while maintaining functional clarity for many users. Its balanced genetic heritage makes it suitable for evening use when relaxation is desired without complete sedation. The strain has become particularly noted among connoisseurs for its smooth smoke and flavorful terpene profile that distinguishes it from more one-dimensional indica varieties.

How do you grow Blue Cush?
Blue Cush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic setups indoors. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F) and moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture issues. The plants respond well to nutrient regimens designed for indica-dominant hybrids.
