Editorial profile
Blue Brilliant in detail
Origin & classification
Zambeza developed Blue Brilliant with the aim of incorporating the characteristics of Super Silver Haze into a more compact cross with Blueberry. The documented parentage is therefore Blueberry × Super Silver Haze. The name refers to the flowers, which may occasionally develop blue hues towards the end of flowering and are compared in the source to a polished blue stone. The strain is classified as sativa-dominant.
Aroma & taste
For growth, the description specifies a height of approximately 80 to 110 centimetres indoors. Outdoors, approximately 140 to 180 centimetres are stated. According to the source, the indoor version therefore remains comparatively manageable, while plants outdoors can become significantly taller. Yield figures vary within the same text: indoors, both 500–600 and 550–650 grams per square metre are given; outdoors, 550–650 grams per plant are stated. These figures are breeder-specific guidelines and not a guarantee.
Terpene profile
The material also contains two close but not identical figures for flowering time. Approximately 60 days are stated, while another section gives around 65 days. A range of approximately eight to nine weeks is therefore appropriate. The source presents this as shorter than the approximately eleven weeks it gives for Super Silver Haze. Nevertheless, how quickly an individual plant matures depends on phenotype and conditions.
Effect tendency
Blueberry clearly takes centre stage aromatically. Blue Brilliant is described as fresh, sweet, fruity and distinctly blueberry-like. At the same time, the profile is said to remain soft and aromatic. The dataset also includes a coffee-like note, although the detailed source text does not explain it further. It should therefore be understood as an additional nuance that is not necessarily dominant.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
The reported effects are primarily mental in nature: clear, uplifting, cheerful, creative and mood-enhancing. In larger quantities, the source also describes pronounced cheerfulness and frequent laughter. These are subjective experiential reports and do not guarantee any effect. A THC value of 20 percent appears in the source text but is absent from the normalised value field. Until the data has been reviewed, it should not be presented as a binding profile value.
