Violet Blue
Also known as: Violet Blueberry
Violet Blue Strain Overview
Violet Blue is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its distinctive coloration and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. Breeders likely developed Violet Blue by crossing established indica varieties with blueberry genetics, aiming to create a strain with both visual appeal and reliable effects. The strain remains relatively rare in mainstream cannabis markets but has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics.
The most striking feature of Violet Blue is its appearance, which lives up to its name. During the flowering stage, the buds develop deep purple and violet hues, often with contrasting orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosted, blueish appearance. The coloration is most pronounced when plants experience cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. The buds are typically dense and compact, characteristic of indica varieties, with a structure that makes them suitable for various consumption methods.
Violet Blue is noted for its complex aroma and flavor profile that combines fruity, floral, and earthy notes. The strain's effects are generally described as calming and physically relaxing while maintaining some mental clarity, making it suitable for evening use. Its rarity means that consistent information about its exact genetic lineage and breeding history is limited, and variations may exist between different growers' versions of the strain.

Violet Blue Strain Growing Information
Violet Blue is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. 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 the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To enhance the strain's characteristic purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Violet Blue responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation due to their dense bud structure.
