City Blues
Also known as: City Blues OG
City Blues Strain Overview
City Blues is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid that could thrive in urban growing environments while delivering consistent effects. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, it is generally accepted as a carefully selected phenotype from a Blueberry lineage crossed with a potent indica-dominant strain, resulting in a plant that exhibits characteristics of both its indica and sativa heritage.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a striking color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast sharply against the darker foliage. City Blues has gained recognition for its resilience and adaptability, making it suitable for various growing conditions while maintaining consistent quality.
Notable features of City Blues include its distinctive aroma profile that combines fruity and earthy notes, along with its balanced effects that have made it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain has developed a reputation in cannabis circles for providing a well-rounded experience that doesn't lean too heavily toward either sedation or stimulation, making it suitable for various times of day. Its name reflects both its urban cultivation origins and the blueberry lineage that contributes to its flavor characteristics.

City Blues Strain Growing Information
City Blues is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or a Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (20-26°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield and manage height.
