Blue Contra
Overview
Blue Contra is an indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Red Scare Seed Company. This strain represents a unique genetic combination of (Iran × Afghan) × Whitaker Blues, creating a powerhouse that combines traditional landrace genetics with modern breeding techniques. The strain exhibits characteristics typical of classic indica genetics, with short, squat plant structure and dense bud formation. Blue Contra carries the distinctive aromatic profile of old-school spicy hash and earthy tones, reflecting its deep Middle Eastern and Central Asian genetic heritage. The Whitaker Blues influence, which stems from the renowned DJ Short lineage, contributes blue and purple hues along with berry undertones to the overall genetic expression. Plants typically display compact growth patterns with bushy foliage, making them well-suited for indoor cultivation while also performing adequately in outdoor environments.

Growing Information
Blue Contra can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (60 days). The strain exhibits typical indica growing characteristics with short, squat plants and bushy foliage that may require regular trimming for proper airflow. Indoor cultivation is preferred due to the compact size, making it suitable for Sea of Green (SOG) setups. Plants respond well to moderate feeding schedules and prefer slightly cooler temperatures during late flowering to enhance blue and purple coloration through anthocyanin production. Difficulty level is considered moderate, suitable for growers with some experience. Expected yields are moderate to good when properly cultivated.
