The Origin Story of “Blue Horizon”
“Blue Horizon” is a labor of love stemming from my years of experimenting with high-altitude cultivars here in Colorado. This strain originated from a cross between two legendary parents: “Northern Blue” and “Golden Coast.” The goal? To create a plant that thrives in our challenging environment while providing an unparalleled sensory experience. The result is a resilient strain known for its vivid blue buds that glisten with trichomes.

Growing Insights and Tips
If you’re interested in cultivating “Blue Horizon,” you’ll want to keep a few pointers in mind:
- Altitude Adaptation: True to my mantra, “The altitude makes us tougher,” this strain thrives between 5,000 to 7,000 feet above sea level where the air is thin and sunlight more direct.
- Water Conservation: Like all my strains, “Blue Horizon” benefits from a drip irrigation system, preventing root rot while conserving up to 40% more water compared to traditional watering methods.
- Temperature Management: Keep flowering rooms between 70-75°F with humidity at 45-50% to maximize resin production and prevent mold.
