Blue 16

Blue 16 is a autoflowering evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 23-29% on average, with 0.4% CBD. Seeds come in autoflower form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Blue 16 high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. Because of these effects, Blue 16 is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Blue 16 has a delicious berry flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a berry finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped bright neon green nugs, thin orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Blue 16 offers an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators — expect plants finishing in as little as 8-9 weeks from germination, at home indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Blue family — see Blue Kush Auto and Blue Kush Autoflowering for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
