Blue Power
Breeder: Sin City Seeds
Sin City Seeds' flagship strain and one of the most influential indica-dominant genetics of the 2010s. Created in 2010 when breeder Don pollenated a Power clone (obtained from Progressive Options clone shop in the San Fernando Valley, also known as PO#1 or Riddler OG) with a White Moonshine male hand-selected by OG Raskal. The result was an immediately exceptional plant that combined deep kush body effects with a wildly unique terpene profile blending sweet kush, sour diesel, creamy blueberries, and smooth vanilla. Blue Power has gone on to parent some of the most celebrated modern strains including Apples and Bananas, SinMint Cookies, Ice Cream Cake, Kush Mints, Animal Mints, Wedding Cake, and Now N Laterz.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: (Sour Double x Master Kush) x (The White x Blue Moonshine)
The Power clone (PO#1 / Riddler OG, obtained from Progressive Options in the San Fernando Valley) is itself Sour Double x Master Kush, contributing deep kush body effects and diesel fuel aromatics. The White Moonshine male (hand-selected by OG Raskal) is The White x Blue Moonshine, contributing freakish resin production, creamy blueberry notes, and blue/purple coloration. The four-strain parentage creates exceptional terpene complexity.
Terpene Profile
Limonene — Drives the citrus/lemon notes and contributes to the initial mood-elevating cerebral lift before the indica body effects take hold.
Myrcene — Contributes the earthy berry depth and enhances the powerful full-body relaxation that defines Blue Power's indica character.
Linalool — Adds the floral and vanilla smoothness that rounds out the profile and contributes to the strain's calming, anti-anxiety properties.
Caryophyllene — Contributes subtle spice on the backend and engages CB2 receptors for anti-inflammatory effects.
Aroma: An intoxicating and highly unique nose combining sweet kush, sour diesel fuel, creamy blueberries, and smooth vanilla. The terpene complexity reflects its four-strain parentage — layers of citrus, berry, fuel, and floral notes intermingle.
Flavor: On the inhale the flavor is sweet and fruity with citrus lemon notes; the exhale delivers earthy berry undertones with a floral kush finish. The combination of sour and sweet creates a complex palate experience unique to this cultivar.
Effects & Experience
Onset: Hits first with a cerebral lift that brings deep happiness and heightened sensory awareness.
As the head high builds, a powerful full-body buzz washes in, melting away pain and tension. Deeply relaxing without immediate sedation — the indica dominance eventually leads to couch-lock and appetite stimulation. Effects are described as insanely strong and very long lasting with almost no tolerance buildup.
Duration: Very long-lasting with minimal tolerance buildup reported
Commonly Reported Uses
Grower's Notes
A sturdy, thick-stalked indica that handles environmental stress well. Performs in both indoor and outdoor settings but thrives in cooler climates where the blue/purple coloration intensifies. Plants reach 5-8 feet and benefit from Low-Stress Training to maintain an even canopy, prevent hermaphroditism, and maximize light penetration. SOG method also works well. Supplement with higher phosphorus during flowering for denser bud formation. Available primarily in regular seed form — apply pre-germination techniques to improve female ratios. Extending flowering by one week can increase yields. The IX2 feminized release represents over a decade of selective inbreeding to stabilize the line.
History & Origin
Blue Power was created in 2010 by Sin City Seeds breeder Don, who pollenated a Power clone (PO#1 / Riddler OG, obtained from Progressive Options clone shop in the San Fernando Valley) with a White Moonshine male hand-selected by OG Raskal. The strain produced SinMint Cookies (High Times Top 10 Strain of 2014) and Over The Moon Kush (High Times Top 10 Strain of 2017). The IX2 feminized release represents over a decade of selective inbreeding to stabilize the line. With 64+ documented direct descendants in seed databases, Blue Power's genetic influence on modern cannabis is enormous.
