Blue Smash
Also known as: Blue Smash OG
Blue Smash Strain Overview
Blue Smash is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. This strain was developed by crossing Blueberry with an unknown OG Kush phenotype, though some sources suggest it may involve other genetics like Blue Dream or Blue Cheese. The strain gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that combines sweet berry notes with classic Kush undertones.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a striking appearance. The flowers are characterized by deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge in cooler temperatures. A thick coating of frosty trichomes covers the buds, giving them a shimmering appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The buds are often described as having a slightly foxtailed structure, which is common in OG Kush descendants.
Blue Smash is known for its complex aroma that evolves during the curing process. Initially, the scent presents as sweet blueberries with earthy undertones, but as the buds mature, notes of pine and diesel become more prominent. The flavor profile follows a similar progression, with sweet berry notes on the inhale giving way to spicy, earthy tones on the exhale. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation.

Blue Smash Strain Growing Information
Blue Smash is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 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 with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering. Plants tend to grow to medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that requires regular pruning and training for optimal light penetration. Blue Smash is susceptible to mold and mildew in humid conditions, so proper airflow and humidity control are essential. The plants respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation tends to enhance the terpene profile. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
