Blue Ecstasy
Also known as: Blue XTC
Blue Ecstasy Strain Overview
Blue Ecstasy is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s from the crossbreeding of Blueberry and an unknown sativa-dominant strain, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from the Dutch Passion seed bank's breeding programs. The strain gained popularity in European and North American markets for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones. Its name reflects both its blue-tinged appearance and the euphoric experience many users report.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers often show deep purple and blue hues alongside bright orange pistils, with a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. These visual characteristics are complemented by a complex aroma that blends sweet berries, citrus, and earthy pine notes, making Blue Ecstasy visually and olfactorily distinctive among hybrid strains.
Blue Ecstasy is known for its well-balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The strain has maintained consistent popularity in markets where it's available, though it remains less common than some of its parent strains. Breeders have continued to work with Blue Ecstasy genetics, sometimes using it as a parent strain for new hybrids seeking to combine its flavor profile with different effect characteristics.

Blue Ecstasy Strain Growing Information
Blue Ecstasy is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Blue Ecstasy responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity carefully during flowering, as the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. The strain's colorful expression is enhanced by cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
