Blueberry Kush
Blueberry Kush
Also known as: Blueberry OG Kush
Overview
Blueberry Kush is a 100% indica-dominant strain resulting from the genetic fusion of Blueberry and OG Kush. Initially bred in Oregon, USA, this strain has gained popularity due to its award-winning parent genetics, particularly Blueberry, which won the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Indica. Known for its substantial THC content, which averages around 21%, this strain is favored for its therapeutic benefits, particularly in managing pain, insomnia, and anxiety.
Blueberry Kush is known for its dense and resinous buds, which are typically deep green in color with hints of purple. The forest green buds are small and tightly packed with beautiful orange hairs and frosty trichomes. If grown in colder climates, these sticky buds may even feature hues of deep purple and sometimes even red. The strain's distinct aroma and flavor mirrors sweet blueberries and a touch of earthiness, with the name derived from its distinct blueberry aroma and taste reminiscent of fresh blueberries. Originating in Oregon, Blueberry Kush has become renowned for its ability to induce a state of deep relaxation, making it a favorite for evening use.

Growing Information
Blueberry Kush is a little tougher to grow and is recommended mostly for more experienced growers. It is harder than average to cultivate, but can produce beautiful and potent buds. This strain prefers to be grown indoors, as it can be monitored more closely, however, it can flourish in an outdoor environment, just as long as it has enough sunshine. The flowering phase typically lasts between 8 and 10 weeks. During this time, the buds develop a dense, resinous structure and reach their peak potency, making it a relatively fast strain to grow. Blueberry Kush yields 7 oz/m² indoors and 23 ounces per plant outdoors, while indoor yields are around 550 grams per square meter and outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. A Mediterranean-like setup with temps between 65-80°F and 30-50% humidity works best. These plants are short and bushy, usually maxing out around 3.5 feet, so they're great for small grow spaces. Indoors, you'll need 18-20 hours of light during veg and a 12/12 cycle to flower. Topping and low-stress training help manage their dense growth.
