Blue Sapphire
Also known as: Sapphire Star, Sapphire
Overview
Blue Sapphire, also known as Sapphire Star, is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing Blue Hawaiian and God Bud strains. Originally bred by Jordan of the Islands, this strain has gained recognition for its striking appearance and well-balanced effects. The strain is characterized by its dense, heart-shaped forest green buds with rich blue undertones, bright orange hairs, and a heavy coating of frosty crystal trichomes that give it a jewel-like, sparkling appearance worthy of its sapphire namesake. Blue Sapphire has developed multiple phenotypes from different breeders, with some versions like the 808 Genetics cut testing significantly higher in THC content. The strain's complex genetic heritage combines the gentle, uplifting qualities of Blue Hawaiian with the potent, high-yielding characteristics of God Bud, resulting in a sophisticated cannabis variety that appeals to both recreational and medical users for its balanced cerebral and physical effects.

Growing Information
Blue Sapphire can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate difficulty level suitable for intermediate growers. Indoor flowering time ranges from 7-10 weeks depending on the phenotype, with plants reaching 6-7 feet in height. Outdoor cultivation sees plants growing up to 15 feet tall, with harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor yields of 4-6 ounces per plant and outdoor yields of 5-10 ounces per plant. The strain performs well in both soil and hydroponic systems, with some phenotypes requiring support due to heavy bud production. Plants exhibit tight internode spacing and sturdy branching, making them suitable for greenhouse cultivation as well.
