Genetics of Blue Hippo

Blue Hippo is born from the cross between Spanish Blue Elefant (Blue Dream × Afghan Kush 80’s Heirloom × Sour Berry) and Vanilla Berry Pie [(Magnum Opus × Royal Kush F11) × (Cherry Pie Kush × Sunset Sherbet)], a combination clearly inspired by California.

Spanish Blue Elefant contributes a robust structure, citrus terpenes and a stimulating mental effect, while Vanilla Berry Pie brings sweet, fruity aroma with creamy notes and toasted almond nuances. The result is an elite, very well-balanced indica/sativa genetic line, ideal for demanding palates and growers who value organoleptic quality without compromising yield.

Highly productive genetics

Blue Hippo has been designed to deliver abundant harvests in the shortest possible time. Indoors it completes flowering in just 55 days, while maintaining excellent quality and resin production.
It develops a strong structure with lateral branching and short internodes, ideal for training techniques such as SCROG, main-lining or lollipopping. Indoors it can reach up to 700 g/m², while outdoors it easily exceeds 2,200 g per plant if it receives enough direct sunlight and proper care.
Its resistance to humidity and common pests makes it ideal both for experienced growers and for those without much experience.
