Blue Magoo
Blue Magoo
Also known as: Blue Goo (often confused with, but different strain)
Overview
Blue Magoo is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) originally developed by Dynasty Seeds in Oregon during the mid-1990s. This clone-only strain is a cross between DJ Short's legendary Blueberry and William's Wonder F2 (also known as Major League Bud). The strain is renowned for its tight bud structure, complex aromatic profile, and potent therapeutic effects. Blue Magoo exhibits dense, resinous flowers with distinctive blue and purple hues alongside vibrant orange pistils, creating visually striking buds that are as beautiful as they are potent.
The strain's unique zigzagging, vine-like branching pattern requires support structures during flowering due to the weight of its dense, crystal-coated buds. Blue Magoo has gained significant recognition in the medical cannabis community for its ability to combat various symptoms including chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and appetite loss. The strain's complex terpene profile creates an intricate bouquet of aromas ranging from sweet blueberries and berries to floral notes of lavender, rose, and incense. This carefully preserved genetic line has remained clone-only for decades, making it a coveted strain among cultivators and patients alike.

Growing Information
Blue Magoo is a challenging strain best suited for experienced cultivators. It requires 8-9 weeks flowering time indoors (50-65 days) and is typically ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Plants grow 30-60 inches tall with a unique zigzagging, vine-like branching structure that requires support stakes due to heavy, dense buds. Best grown in organic soil with organic nutrients. Yields approximately 13 ounces per square meter indoors (400-500 grams per m²) and around 400 grams per plant outdoors. The strain is clone-only, so growers must obtain clippings from mature plants rather than seeds. Plants thrive in cooler nighttime temperatures before flowering to enhance purple coloration and are resistant to common molds but require careful monitoring and support structures.
