Besides it's the perfect remedy against anxiety, Blueberry cannabis has proven to be extra effective for pains. Grow it properly - it will generously yield big buds, which are also sticky and require proper curing.

Average THC: Can range between 15% and 24%
Climate: This strain loves environments with good hours of sunshine. What’s even better, it’s resilient to cold more so than other strains; therefore, you don’t necessarily have to have a warm climate to cultivate it.

Where Is Best to Cultivate Blueberry Cannabis Plants?
This strain is best to grow outside under the sun. However, you may want to start the growing process indoors and then move plants outside. It is recommended to wait until the weather is really warm and sunny before moving the plants outside to avoid freezing them overnight. But if you don’t have indoor space or a greenhouse where you can tuck plants safe and warm, you can always take a chance on Blueberry. It’s a reasonably resilient strain to cold temperatures and stress.
Blueberry plants can thrive within a wider temperature range - from 65 to 80°F. Even if night temperatures drop shortly to, Blueberry plants should sustain through without any serious consequences on the yield. If you see that low temperatures persist for a few nights in succession, you still need to protect your plants somehow. Blueberry is resilient, but it's not almighty.
What Training Techniques to Use?
You'll do yourself a favor if you crop the top of the plant and allow it to take the shape of a bush. Tall Blueberry plants will not yield as many buds as bushy ones will. Of course, for this, you need space, like a separate clearing in your outdoor garden. Trim the tops of the plant gradually as it grows to get it to a bush shape. If you grow several plants, keep them at least three feet away from one other.
Sea of Green (SoG) may also work as a fine solution. The more space you leave for each plant, the more it can develop into a nice solid shrub with luscious buds. But don’t forget to trim. Trimming will also boost the immunity of your plants, protecting them from infestations.
How to Proceed with Nutrients for Blueberry Weed?
Prepare in advance the soil where the plants are going to grow. You can take care of it while you are still keeping the young plants inside. Blueberry cannabis plants love a good dose of Nitrogen. Nitrogen will guide the formation of the plants and strengthen them up. Avoid deficiency and use more Nitrogen. Additionally, you can apply worm castings on the top of the soil when the plants are about to begin their flowering cycle. Or look for other solutions like bat guano to enrich the soil.
Bat guano as well contains Nitrogen, and when you have it in your garden, simultaneously it acts as a fungicide. A mixture of worm castings and bat guano might lead to a smelly garden, and while this will not impact the smell and taste of the buds, perhaps you’ll want to use smell repellents in case you are hiding your garden. You can also purchase readily available super soils such as greensand. That is one of the soil solutions that contains almost everything your Blueberry cannabis plants need to thrive. Using super soil, don’t forget to deposit it ahead of time for growing.
Happy growing!
