Bounty Hunter Blues
Also known as: Bounty Hunter, BHB
Bounty Hunter Blues Strain Overview
Bounty Hunter Blues is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its powerful effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. Breeders reportedly crossed a classic Blueberry indica with a heavy-hitting Afghani landrace to create this strain, though some sources suggest additional genetic influences may be present. The name 'Bounty Hunter' reflects its reputation for delivering substantial effects, while 'Blues' references its Blueberry lineage and sometimes melancholic, deeply relaxing qualities.
The plant typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure characteristic of indica varieties. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep forest green hues often accented by purple and blue undertones, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance, while vibrant orange pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's aroma is complex, combining sweet berry notes with earthy, musky undertones and a hint of pine.
Bounty Hunter Blues has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets but has not achieved widespread commercial distribution. Its reputation rests primarily on user reports of deeply sedating effects that make it particularly popular for evening use. The strain's genetic stability and consistent expression of indica characteristics have made it a favorite among growers seeking reliable, high-potency indica genetics. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Bounty Hunter Blues has developed a dedicated following among those who appreciate its balanced combination of flavor, potency, and therapeutic potential.

Bounty Hunter Blues Strain Growing Information
Bounty Hunter Blues is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors, displaying classic indica growth patterns with dense branching. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. Some phenotypes may benefit from light stress training techniques to improve light penetration and airflow through the canopy.
