Blue Heron BX
Also known as: Blue Heron Backcross
Blue Heron BX Strain Overview
Blue Heron BX is a stabilized backcross of the original Blue Heron strain, developed to enhance and preserve its distinctive characteristics. The strain traces its lineage to a cross between Blueberry and Heron strains, with the BX (backcross) designation indicating it has been bred back to one of its parent strains to reinforce specific traits. This breeding approach has resulted in a more consistent expression of the original Blue Heron's desirable qualities while maintaining genetic stability.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. Flowers typically exhibit deep purple and blue hues intermingled with vibrant orange pistils, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The coloration is most pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage. The aroma profile combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and subtle floral accents.
Blue Heron BX has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it maintains a dedicated following particularly among those who appreciate its unique genetic heritage and artistic appearance. The strain represents a successful example of backcross breeding techniques used to preserve and enhance specific cannabis genetics.

Blue Heron BX Strain Growing Information
Blue Heron BX is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature can be manipulated to enhance coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with limited vertical clearance. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to encourage the development of purple and blue pigments, and providing adequate support for branches as buds become dense and heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
