Flavonoids
Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.
Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

This strain is popular with both recreational and therapeutic users. Users report an energizing, full-body sativa high ideal for daytime use. With the added benefit of channeling creativity, many find inspiration to start new ventures. This euphoric high can also be used as an aphrodisiac, and many report feelings aroused. The relatively high CBD percentage and moderate THC content also make Alpine Blue a well-tolerated strain suitable for new and experienced cannabis users.
Some side effects not exclusive to this strain include dry eyes and mouth. Some users report experiencing relaxation and sleepiness by the end of the day, making this strain ideal for winding down.
Medical Applications
Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.
THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter adenosine.
Dosing
This strain is ideal for daytime use due to its energizing, euphoric effects. New users should start slowly before using more, as the high can accumulate slowly. People looking solely for this strain’s therapeutic benefits should consider low doses.
Growing
The Alpine Blue Strain is an easy strain for beginners. It can be grown indoors and outdoors, taking around 70 days until it’s ready to harvest. This strain produces long, dark green buds with deep blue undertones. Fine purple hairs and blue trichomes give the strain its trademark blue appearance.
Height
Although Alpine Blue weed is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain, the plant has indica phenotypes. Thus, it doesn’t grow as tall as its other sativa siblings, and it will usually reach around 60-80 inches and can also be grown indoors.
Alpine Blue typically produces a moderate to high yield, with indoor growers reporting an average yield of around 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor growers can expect a slightly higher yield, with some reporting yields of up to 600 grams per plant.
Humidity and Temperature
Keep the relative humidity high in the first few weeks of growing – at around 60%-80% – until the seedlings root. When the plant grows, reduce the humidity to about 50% to 70% to promote growth. When the strain begins to flower at around the seven-week mark, keep the plant at low humidity – around 40% RH – to prevent bud rot from forming.
Flowering
The Alpine Blue strain typically flowers in late September, and it usually takes seven to nine weeks to flower and will be ready to harvest in around 70 days. This strain has average yields when grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoors it will yield between .5 to 1 ounce per square foot, while it will yield between 10 and 15 ounces per plant outdoors.
