Formentino Blue
Also known as: Formentino Blueberry
Formentino Blue Strain Overview
Formentino Blue is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to be a phenotype or specific expression of the Formentino lineage, distinguished by its blueberry characteristics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from mainstream seed banks or breeders. Based on available grower reports and limited commercial availability, it appears to be a hybrid that combines the Formentino genetics with Blueberry or related blue-tinted varieties, though the precise genetic composition remains uncertain.
The strain is noted for its distinctive appearance, often displaying deep purple and blue hues in the buds, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The nugs are typically dense and resinous, with a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The coloration is one of its most distinguishing features, with the blue and purple pigments becoming more pronounced as the plant matures and experiences temperature fluctuations.
Formentino Blue is recognized among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While comprehensive laboratory data is limited due to its relative rarity, user reports suggest it offers a combination of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain's scarcity means that much of the available information comes from grower communities rather than formal breeding documentation, making some details about its characteristics and lineage subject to verification.

Formentino Blue Strain Growing Information
Formentino Blue is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its color expression and resin production. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and good air circulation.
Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The plant tends to be medium in height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. To enhance the blue and purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final weeks of flowering. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve light penetration and bud development.
