Blue Shark
Also known as: Blue Shark OG
Blue Shark Strain Overview
Blue Shark is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Blueberry with Shark Shock, combining the sweet berry characteristics of the former with the potent, relaxing effects of the latter. This genetic combination results in a balanced hybrid that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it appealing to a wide range of cannabis consumers.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The name "Blue Shark" likely references both its Blueberry lineage and the sharp, potent effects users experience. The buds emit a complex aroma profile that combines sweet berry notes with earthy, skunky undertones, creating a distinctive sensory experience.
Blue Shark is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants tend to develop a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, making them suitable for training techniques like topping and low-stress training. While not as widely available as more commercial strains, Blue Shark has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. Its relative rarity means that authentic examples of the strain can be difficult to find in many markets.

Blue Shark Strain Growing Information
Blue Shark is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic setups indoors. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and develop a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense, resinous buds.
