Users of Alpha Blue report that the strain produces a fast onset of effects. You may feel a slight pressure around your eyes and temples as the high settles into your facial muscles. This cerebral and body high can leave you with a new appreciation for sights, sounds, and textures.

The physical effects can be somewhat disorientating if you have not experienced them before; however, you shouldn’t feel out of control of your body with this strain. The buzz created throughout the body should relieve muscle tension and help you experience a relaxing, euphoric high. This strain is suited to many situations, as it may make you feel energetic, uplifted, focused, and talkative. It’s perfect for enjoying alone or with friends at any time of the day.

Because of the high levels of THC present, Alpha Blue can sometimes cause negative side effects, including feelings of anxiety, paranoia, and dizziness. These effects can be controlled by not consuming too high a dose. Other common and mild side effects include a dry mouth and eyes, which can be helped by hydration and, if necessary, sucking on a piece of candy to stimulate saliva production.

Humidity and Temperature

As this is a developing strain, growers are still working out the most efficient cultivation techniques. Cannabis plants prefer a humidity of 65% to 70% as seedlings, which you should then lower to below 60%, preferably 40% to 50%, two weeks before flowering to avoid mold growing on the bud. After harvesting, buds should be cured on drying racks with air circulation for seven to 10 days with a humidity of around 50%. Be sure to check buds daily for signs of rot.

Flowering

This plant will flower in 56 to 70 days and be ready for harvest around the 77-day mark. The flowers will be of medium to large size and, surprisingly, tend to look more like flowers than typical buds. They also have inherited their parent strains’ beautiful purple and blue hues.
