Blue Lightning
Also known as: Blue Lights, Blue Northern Lights, Blueberry Lights, Blueberry Northern Lights
Overview
Blue Lightning is a heavily indica-dominant hybrid strain (90% indica/10% sativa) created through crossing the beloved Blueberry and Northern Lights strains. This strain was developed by DutchBreed and represents a seventh-generation breeding project that includes Lowryder genetics, giving it some autoflowering tendencies in certain phenotypes. The strain has earned recognition for its exceptional potency, with THC levels typically ranging from 20-26%, making it one of the more potent indica-dominant hybrids available. Blue Lightning produces Christmas tree-shaped forest green buds with thin orange hairs and a heavy coating of frosty white crystal trichomes that develop from around two weeks into flowering. The plant stays low to medium height, making it suitable for indoor cultivation while still providing dense, resinous buds. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medical users for its powerful sedating effects and sweet blueberry flavor profile, inherited from its Blueberry parent genetics.

Growing Information
Blue Lightning is considered beginner-friendly and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has a notably quick flowering time of 5-6 weeks (35-42 days), making it faster than many traditional photoperiod strains. Indoor yields range from 90-120 grams per plant under ideal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce generous harvests when grown in Mediterranean-like climates with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C). The plant stays low to medium height, making it ideal for limited grow spaces. Due to its dense foliage, good air circulation is essential to prevent mold and mildew issues. The strain develops heavy trichome coverage from around 2 weeks into flowering and prefers moderate humidity levels. Some phenotypes may exhibit autoflowering traits due to the Lowryder genetics in its lineage.
