Blue Sunset
Also known as: Blue Sunset Sherbet, Blue Sunset OG
Blue Sunset Strain Overview
Blue Sunset is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Blueberry and Sunset Sherbet. This strain combines the relaxing indica qualities of its Blueberry parent with the uplifting sativa characteristics inherited from Sunset Sherbet, creating a well-rounded experience appreciated by both recreational and medicinal users. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a flavorful hybrid with balanced effects, though its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community.
Visually, Blue Sunset plants produce dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep purple and blue hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced as temperatures drop during the flowering phase, with cooler conditions intensifying the purple pigmentation. The buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids.
The strain is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. Growers appreciate Blue Sunset for its moderate cultivation difficulty and reliable performance, while consumers value its versatile effects that can be enjoyed throughout the day. The strain has gained popularity in legal markets for its appealing appearance, pleasant flavor, and manageable psychoactive experience that avoids overwhelming intensity while still providing substantial therapeutic potential.

Blue Sunset Strain Growing Information
Blue Sunset is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Blue Sunset adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. The strain is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are average, though the plants respond well to bloom boosters during flowering. Cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering enhance the purple coloration of the buds.
