Bluebottle CBD
Unknown (likely blueberry-forward x high-CBD stabilized parent)
Bluebottle CBD is a CBD-dominant indica cultivar recognized for its calming effects and approachable flavor profile. It is designed to provide a clear, non-intoxicating experience, making it suitable for both daytime focus and evening relaxation.
Appearance
Bluebottle CBD typically grows to a medium height with robust central stems and responsive side branching. Its calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, and under cool nighttime temperatures during late flowering, it may display purple and blue hues along the sugar leaves and bracts. The buds are often medium-dense and conical to spear-shaped, with trichome coverage giving them a frosty appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Bluebottle CBD is predominantly berry-forward, often evoking fresh blueberries with subtle floral undertones. Upon grinding, a sweet, confectionary scent emerges, accompanied by hints of pine and cream. The flavor mirrors the aroma, starting fruity and transitioning to gentle spice and herbal notes upon exhalation.
Effects
This cultivar is primarily known for its calming effects, offering a gentle sense of ease without significant intoxication. It is often described as being light enough for maintaining focus during the day while also being soothing enough to help unwind in the evening.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Bluebottle CBD is characterized by its high CBD content, typically ranging from 10-18%, with THC levels usually below 1.5%, resulting in a high CBD:THC ratio. Key terpenes often include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, contributing to its berry, citrus, and herbal flavor notes. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC may also be present.
Growing
Growers can expect moderate hybrid vigor with this cultivar. It benefits from careful environmental control, particularly during late flowering, to maximize aromatic compound expression and potential coloration. The flowering period is typically around 56-63 days indoors.
Origins & Lineage
While specific lineage details for Bluebottle CBD are not widely standardized, its sensory profile suggests an influence from the 'Blue' family, likely involving a blueberry-forward strain crossed with a high-CBD stabilized parent. It emerged in the 2010s as breeders focused on developing CBD-rich genetics with appealing aromas and flavors.
