Also known as: Blue Dank OG, Blue Dank Kush
Blue Dank Strain Overview
Blue Dank is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California and Oregon. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed it. Most sources suggest it emerged in the early 2010s as part of the 'blue' strain family trend. The name combines 'Blue' from its Blueberry lineage with 'Dank,' a colloquial term for high-quality cannabis, reflecting its reputation for potency and distinctive aroma.
Visually, Blue Dank plants produce dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a range of colors from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma is complex and pungent, combining sweet berry notes with earthy, diesel undertones that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Blue Dank is known for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has developed a following among experienced users who appreciate its potent effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Blue Dank has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who value its distinctive characteristics.

Blue Dank Strain Growing Information
Blue Dank is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Blue Dank prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation around the dense buds and monitoring for pests that are attracted to the sweet aroma. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
