Blues
Also known as: Livers, UK Blues, The Blues
Blues Strain Overview
Blues, also known as "Livers," is a famous hybrid strain in the U.K. Its origins are a well-kept secret, but many speculate Blues to be a unique phenotype of Sensi Seeds' Skunk #1 from the 80's. Blues, often whispered about as Livers in the UK underground, is a classic British clone-only cultivar that rose to prominence in the 1990s. It circulated hand-to-hand among growers in Northern England, especially around Sheffield, at a time when UK indoor horticulture was innovating under the radar. Word-of-mouth distribution built its cult status, and by the early 2000s, Blues was a fixture of UK menus alongside Cheese and various Skunk cuts. Unlike many modern branded hybrids, Blues never launched with a flashy seed drop or a breeder's press release. Because Blues remained clone-only, it developed an aura of scarcity and authenticity.
Blues is famous for a layered, room-filling odor that mixes overripe stone fruit, tangy cheese rind, and a fermented skunk tail. The base is earthy and musky, with a warm, slightly sweet undercurrent that drifts into savory territory as flowers cure. In fresh grind, many noses catch hints of tangy apricot compote mingled with funky cream and wet soil. Each Blues nug is long and dense with bright orange hairs and a coating of sticky amber colored crystal trichomes. This strain is rare if you don't have a link but also it's one of those strains where there's no fooling the buyer, you can tell straight away it's blues, there's nothing quite the same.
