BlueDou
Also known as: Blue Dou, Blue Douche, Blue Dough
BlueDou Strain Overview
BlueDou is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The strain is believed to be a cross between Blueberry and an unknown indica-dominant parent, possibly a Kush variety, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from the popular Blue Dream strain. Its name appears to be a playful combination of 'Blue' from its Blueberry lineage and 'Dou' which may reference its doughy appearance or texture when properly cultivated.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, almost white appearance that contrasts beautifully with the darker foliage. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation under appropriate conditions.
BlueDou has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not widely available in commercial markets, it has maintained a presence in certain regional medical and recreational programs, particularly in California and Oregon. The strain's rarity means that consistent quality can vary significantly between growers, and authentic genetics may be difficult to source for those outside established cannabis communities.

BlueDou Strain Growing Information
BlueDou is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. BlueDou responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage its bushy growth habit. Indoor cultivation is recommended for most growers to better control environmental factors. The plants reach a medium height of 4-6 feet outdoors and 3-4 feet indoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and careful monitoring of nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering.
