Blue Hippo
Also known as: Blue Hippo Kush
Blue Hippo Strain Overview
Blue Hippo is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two well-established parent strains. The strain was developed to create a balanced experience that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While its exact origin story varies among sources, most accounts suggest it emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders working with established genetics.
The strain's name references both its Blueberry lineage and the heavy, sedating effects some users report. Blue Hippo typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep green foliage often accented with purple hues and covered in a frosty layer of trichomes. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a compact structure characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its reported balanced effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Blue Hippo has developed a following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those seeking a strain that provides relaxation without complete sedation.

Blue Hippo Strain Growing Information
Blue Hippo is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor specimens potentially growing taller. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
