Blue Ox
Blue Ox
Also known as: Blue OX, Rare Dankness #1
Overview
Blue Ox is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Rare Dankness Seeds, representing a meticulously crafted cross between the classic Blueberry and The Ox (also known as Bubba Kush) strains. This strain features genetics from Bubba Kush and Blueberry, creating a potent indica hybrid with dense resinous flowers, and is created through a cross of the classic Blueberry X The Ox strains. The strain exhibits roughly 75% indica genetics and 25% sativa influences, though some sources describe it as 80% indica and 20% sativa.
The strain gained recognition in the early 2010s when Rare Dankness Seeds combined meticulous breeding techniques with a keen eye for quality traits. Blue Ox stands out visually with its dense and resinous nugs with surprisingly vibrant blue and purple colors and bright red hairs, showcasing the characteristic coloration inherited from its Blueberry lineage. The buds are notably beautiful blue/purple color, with resinous dense buds as it gets close to finish, making it one of the more aesthetically striking strains available.
This strain is particularly renowned for its complex flavor profile that combines flavors of rich hot chocolate topped with coffee and a slight berry tinge, with undertones of coffee, chocolate, and spice on the inhale. The aroma presents as very spicy, with a mocha smell complemented by pungent earth.

Growing Information
Blue OX can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 65 days. It is said to be a relatively tricky strain to grow but is not the most difficult. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate, with temperatures between 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity levels of around 40-50 percent during vegetative stage, reduced to 20-30 percent during flowering. Blue Ox Auto is a tricky strain to grow and should only be cultivated by folks with an experienced green thumb, thriving both indoors and outdoors but having an easier time growing indoors. Medium yield is expected, with indoor yields around 250 grams per square meter and outdoor grows typically producing up to 250 grams per plant. The strain requires attention to environmental controls and is better suited for intermediate to experienced growers.
