Sweet Blue
Also known as: Sweet Blue Kush, Blue Sweet
Sweet Blue Strain Overview
Sweet Blue is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that combines the relaxing qualities of indica genetics with the uplifting cerebral effects of sativa varieties. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2000s from West Coast breeding programs. Breeders likely crossed Blueberry or Blue Dream genetics with sweet-tasting indica varieties to create this aromatic hybrid, though specific lineage documentation is limited.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. Sweet Blue buds are generously coated in frosty trichomes and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation methods.
Sweet Blue has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's name accurately reflects its sensory characteristics, combining sweet berry notes with the classic 'blue' family aroma. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Sweet Blue has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis markets, particularly in regions where flavorful, moderate-potency hybrids are appreciated.

Sweet Blue Strain Growing Information
Sweet Blue is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. 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 medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Sweet Blue responds well to low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) techniques to maximize yield. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds develop. Nutrient requirements are average, though the strain may show sensitivity to overfeeding.
