Also known as: Northern Blue

What is the North Blue strain?

North Blue is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.

North Blue is a relatively rare indica-dominant cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The strain represents a carefully selected cross between two classic cannabis varieties, combining the robust genetics of Northern Lights with the distinctive characteristics of Blueberry. While not as commercially widespread as its parent strains, North Blue has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.

The plant typically displays a compact, bushy structure characteristic of indica varieties, with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a distinctive coloration. The flowers often showcase deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The strain's visual appeal is enhanced by vibrant orange pistils that weave through the dense bud structure. North Blue's foliage tends to be broad and dark green, with leaves showing the classic indica morphology.

Notable features of North Blue include its relatively short flowering period and resilience to common cultivation challenges, making it suitable for growers with intermediate experience. The strain maintains a moderate odor profile during cultivation, though proper ventilation is recommended for indoor grows. While comprehensive laboratory data is limited due to the strain's boutique status, available testing suggests consistent cannabinoid profiles across different phenotypes, with THC levels typically falling within the moderate to high range for indica varieties.

North Blue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 7-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors.
