Blue Elite Sativa
Also known as: Blue Elite
Blue Elite Sativa Strain Overview
Blue Elite Sativa is a relatively modern cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, developed by breeders seeking to combine the cerebral effects of classic sativas with the appealing visual characteristics and flavor profiles of blue-tinted varieties. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it appears to be a carefully selected phenotype from a larger Blue family breeding project, possibly involving multiple generations of selective breeding to stabilize its sativa-dominant traits.
The strain is characterized by its striking appearance, featuring dense, elongated buds with a distinctive blue and purple coloration that becomes more pronounced during cooler nighttime temperatures in the flowering stage. The nugs are typically covered in a generous layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually appealing contrast. The plant structure is classic sativa, with tall, slender growth patterns and narrow, serrated leaves that often display hints of the same purple and blue hues found in the flowers.
Blue Elite Sativa is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fruity, floral, and earthy notes. The name 'Blue' in its title refers not only to its visual characteristics but also to the subtle berry-like undertones in its flavor. The strain has gained popularity among sativa enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced effects and reliable performance, though it remains less widely documented than some more established sativa-dominant hybrids.

Blue Elite Sativa Strain Growing Information
Blue Elite Sativa is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant.
The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and thrives in controlled indoor environments with good air circulation. Plants can reach considerable heights, often growing 150-200 cm indoors and potentially exceeding 250 cm outdoors if given sufficient space. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training are recommended to manage height and improve light penetration. Blue Elite Sativa responds well to organic nutrients and requires careful monitoring of pH levels. The strain's colorful expression is enhanced by exposing plants to cooler temperatures (approximately 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering.
