Silver Blue
Overview
Silver Blue is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Dutch seed company Homegrown Fantaseeds, a breeder that earned recognition as "Best Seed Company" at the 1998 High Times Cannabis Cup. This strain is a cross between Silver Pearl and Blueberry, combining genetics that deliver both visual appeal and potent effects. The strain exhibits a 60% indica to 40% sativa ratio, making it slightly indica-dominant while retaining some sativa characteristics. Silver Blue produces medium-sized plants with broad-shaped leaves and calyxes ranging from medium to large. The buds display an attractive olive green color with subtle blue hues, all covered in a distinctive silver sheen of resinous trichomes that gives the strain its name. Known for being a reliable and sturdy grower, Silver Blue is particularly well-suited for hydroponic cultivation methods due to its high bud-to-stem ratio, which facilitates easier trimming and maintenance. The strain has earned comparison to "Big Bud" within the white cannabis varieties family, suggesting generous yields and robust growth characteristics.
