Crushed Berries
Also known as: Crushed Berry
Crushed Berries Strain Overview
Crushed Berries is a hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Blueberry and an unknown indica-dominant strain, though some sources suggest Strawberry Cough may be involved in its lineage. The strain first gained recognition in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s, where it became popular among both medical and recreational users for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. Breeders aimed to combine the relaxing properties of indica genetics with the uplifting cerebral effects of sativa varieties, resulting in a well-rounded hybrid suitable for various occasions.
The strain's appearance 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. These colorful buds are generously coated with a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance, while vibrant orange pistils weave throughout the flower structure. The visual appeal is further enhanced by the strain's resin production, which makes it particularly suitable for extraction purposes.
Crushed Berries is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and subtle hints of spice. The name accurately reflects the dominant scent that emerges when the buds are broken apart, reminiscent of freshly crushed mixed berries. This strain typically flowers within 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and produces moderate to high yields under optimal conditions. While not considered exceptionally difficult to cultivate, it requires attention to humidity control to prevent mold development in its dense flower structure.

Crushed Berries Strain Growing Information
Crushed Berries is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants typically produce 16-20 ounces per plant under ideal conditions. This strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 3-5 feet, making them suitable for various growing spaces. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds, providing adequate airflow around the plants, and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and yield. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance color development.
