Shiva Blue
Also known as: Shiva Blueberry, Shiva Blue Dream
Shiva Blue Strain Overview
Shiva Blue is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from the legendary Shiva Skunk and Blueberry strains. The strain was developed in the early 2000s by breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with the robust growth characteristics of Shiva Skunk and the distinctive flavor profile of Blueberry. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, Shiva Blue has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its unique combination of effects and flavors.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers often feature deep green foliage with occasional purple and blue hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The buds are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Shiva Blue's aroma is complex, blending sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and a hint of skunkiness inherited from its Shiva Skunk parent.
Shiva Blue is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatility and manageable potency. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Shiva Blue maintains a dedicated following among growers and consumers who appreciate its unique genetic heritage and reliable performance.

Shiva Blue Strain Growing Information
Shiva Blue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants usually reach a medium height of 120-180 cm, making them manageable for most growing spaces. Shiva Blue responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and mold but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions.
