Dinafem Video: Feminized Blue Kush

By mixing a Blueberry and an OG Kush, two legendary varieties, feminized Blue Kush was added to our catalogue in the spring of 2006, an extraordinary hybrid with a slight Sativa preponderance that yields very good harvests, regardless of the grower's experience.

As observed in the video, Blue Kush seeds produce magnificent plants of medium stature with a strong and sturdy structure. One curious aspect of this strain is that it features a Christmas tree shape, with stems that are much thicker than on an OG Kush, and a shorter distance between nodes, which helps to support the weight of the plant. 

With this hybrid we have achieved a more conventional structure and one not as stretched as that exhibited by OG Kush, whose fine stems it is often necessary to guide, due to the risk of breakage caused by the weight of the buds. This plant features a stouter and more compact structure, with an average height that offers good results indoors, especially with optimised crops. 

In addition, if exposed to a drop in temperatures overnight, Blue Kush takes on a beautiful colour that makes it worthy of its predecessors, as it can develop different shades depending on its growth conditions, ranging from blue and purple to lavender on its upper branches, while its lower layer of leaves can preserve some very marked green tones. 

CULTIVATION

Difficulty

In general the crops are balanced, which makes it suitable for all kinds of growers, including the most inexperienced. This strain allows for abundant crops of high quality, easily and quickly, because it grows very vigorously, producing compact and resinous buds that are a very beautiful sight to behold thanks to their combination of bright purple and blue shades. 

Suitable for outdoor and indoor growing

Another of Blue Kush's advantages is its adaptation to different growing methods, in both open and closed spaces. Inside it is very easy to obtain good results, especially when employing SCROG systems, as it stretches well to adapt to the mesh, but can also thrive unassisted. And, once it begins to bloom, it will still continue to stretch. Blue Kush is also ideally suited to the SOG (Sea of Green) system, where no pruning is done. With regards to outdoor growing, it also grows well in temperate and Mediterranean climates, or in a greenhouse.

Flowering and harvesting

Blue Kush needs an intermediate flowering time to achieve good results. Indoors, 60-65 days is enough for a harvest (about 500 g/m²). If you opt for outdoor growing you should keep in mind that the ideal time to harvest this strain is in early and mid-October. Its yield in this case is slightly higher than indoors: 600- 800 grams per plant.

Some tricks

During the growth phase add a third of coconut to the soil mixture. In this way you can improve the oxygenation of the substrate, and Blue Kush will yield optimal results. 

Aroma and flavour

Blue Kush has an intense aroma and flavour, with slight hints of fresh lemon and tinges of pine. And its touch of red fruit makes it a real treat for the senses. This is a combination that works really well because the result continues to feature the classic Kush aroma, of petrol with hints of lemon, but with some creamy forest berry notes that condense everything and dazzle the taste buds.

Effect

This strain has a high THC content (around 20%) and between 0.1 and 0.2% of CBD, so you must prepare, because its effect is powerful. It impacts the brain in a stronger and longer way, and its effects are long-lasting. It also has a long list of medical properties, and is especially good for anxiety and stress thanks to its relaxing effect, combined with good physical and mental balance. Many consumers, particularly in Canada, love Blue Kush's combination of psychoactive effect, aroma and flavour.
