Sapphire Kush strain guide
Sapphire Kush is a hybrid of Blueberry and OG Kush. It's a lesser-known strain with not much written about it, but the sources that cover it agree on a sweet berry smell over earthy pine and a calm, happy feel.
Where does Sapphire Kush come from?
Two strain databases both list Sapphire Kush as a cross of Blueberry and OG Kush. One strain database says the original breeder is unknown, and another database doesn't name one either.
That's the same parent pairing usually given for Blueberry Kush. Whether the two are separate crosses or different names for related plants is not documented.
What does Sapphire Kush smell and taste like?
Both sources describe sweet, juicy berry first, with earthy, piney and woody notes underneath. One strain database's tagged flavours also include a sharper chemical side, which likely comes from the OG Kush parent.
One strain database lists myrcene as the dominant terpene, which fits the earthy, musky base. No other terpenes are published for it.
Sapphire Kush effects: what people report
People describe Sapphire Kush as relaxed, happy, euphoric and uplifted. One strain database sums it up as a relaxed start that opens into a creative headspace, and another database calls the effects mostly calming. One reviewer mentions feeling sleepy.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and there aren't many reports to go on. Headache is the negative effect one strain database lists.
How strong is Sapphire Kush?
One strain database puts Sapphire Kush around 17% to 22% THC, and another database doesn't list a figure. CBD is not reported. Start small if you're new to it, and go by the numbers on your product's label rather than the strain name.
Buying Sapphire Kush in Canada
Sapphire is a popular word in strain names. Sapphire OG and Sapphire Scout, for example, are different crosses, so make sure the label says Sapphire Kush.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since the berry smell fades in older flower.
Sapphire Kush vs Blueberry Kush
Blueberry Kush is listed with the same Blueberry and OG Kush parents, so these two are close cousins at the very least. Blueberry Kush is far better documented and usually described as a heavier, more indica-leaning strain, while Sapphire Kush is listed as an even hybrid with a slightly more upbeat, creative side. Both smell of sweet berry over earth. If you want the well-known version, start with Blueberry Kush. If you find Sapphire Kush, expect something similar with a lighter touch.
