Tahoe Blue Kush
Also known as: Tahoe Blue
Tahoe Blue Kush Strain Overview
Tahoe Blue Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Lake Tahoe region of California and Nevada in the early 2000s. The strain was developed by crossing the classic Tahoe OG Kush with Blueberry, combining the potent effects of OG Kush genetics with the distinctive flavor profile of Blueberry strains. This regional specialty gained popularity among medical and recreational users in the Western United States before spreading to other markets.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The name 'Blue' refers not only to its Blueberry lineage but also to the subtle bluish tint that can appear in the foliage under certain growing conditions. Tahoe Blue Kush typically has a flowering period of 8-9 weeks and produces moderate to high yields when grown under optimal conditions.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that blends earthy Kush notes with sweet berry undertones, and its balanced effects that provide both physical relaxation and mental clarity. The strain has maintained a consistent genetic profile over the years, making it a reliable choice for those seeking predictable effects. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Tahoe Blue Kush remains popular in dispensaries throughout legal markets, particularly in states where it originated.

Tahoe Blue Kush Strain Growing Information
Tahoe Blue Kush is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in early to mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues, though it can adapt to various environments. It grows well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor height typically reaching 3-4 feet and outdoor plants growing 4-6 feet tall. Special considerations include maintaining proper air circulation due to its dense bud structure, monitoring for pests (particularly spider mites), and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering as buds become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
