Also known as: Kentucky Bluegrass, Blue Grass
Bluegrass Strain Overview
Bluegrass is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its unique combination of effects and flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, but most sources suggest it was developed in the United States, potentially with connections to the Kentucky region that inspired its name. Breeders aimed to create a versatile strain that could offer both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, resulting in this carefully balanced hybrid.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking appearance with deep green foliage accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The name 'Bluegrass' references both its potential geographic origins and the subtle blue hues that can appear in the foliage under certain growing conditions. The buds typically have a compact structure with a moderate to high calyx-to-leaf ratio, making them relatively easy to trim and process.
Bluegrass has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets, particularly in areas where its balanced effects are appreciated by both recreational and medicinal users. While not as widely distributed as some commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who value its reliable performance and distinctive characteristics. The strain represents an example of regional cannabis breeding that prioritizes specific effect profiles over maximum THC content.

Bluegrass Strain Growing Information
Bluegrass is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Plants tend to be of medium height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper conditions.
Indoor yields are generally moderate, producing approximately 1.2-1.6 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 14-18 ounces per plant in favorable climates. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation may enhance the terpene profile.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure to lower branches. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plants develop their resin production.
