Blue Dream

One of the most famous strains from California is now available to growers in seed form. Far from inducing blues or drowsiness, this potent and uplifting sativa-dominant hybrid has garnered worldwide acclaim for its exquisite blueberry flavor. Blue Dream boasts numerous nominations and awards at major international competitions, triumphing in categories ranging from 'Best Outdoor Strain' to 'Best Sativa Hybrid,' and even 'Best Live Rosin.'

Genetics and Characteristics

Blue Dream, a feminized photoperiodic hybrid, began its global journey in the quaint town of Santa Cruz, California, in the early 2000s. Although the identity of its original breeder remains a mystery, the legacy was carried on by others, transforming Blue Dream into a product of collaborative genius. This cannabis breeding marvel emerged from an intricate crossbreeding of Blueberry and Super Silver Haze, both of which are strains renowned for their legendary genetics, unblemished reputation, and massive, worldwide fan base.

Sturdy and vigorous, Blue Dream takes 9-12 weeks to complete flowering. Outdoor harvest time is early October. At peak maturity, the plant produces numerous lateral branches with dense and intensely fragrant buds. Combining dark green and purple hues, the lovely flowers are adorned with abundant trichomes, framed by elegant orange stigmas.

Flavor and Aroma

The delightful aroma of ripe blueberries and zesty lemon will captivate your senses and taste buds, enriching the experience with sweet hash-like notes and unexpected hints of fuel. The smoke is dense, with a subtle peppery tingle on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Blending the best of the sativa and indica worlds, with a high THC content (17-24%) and around 2% CBD, Blue Dream's effects are characterized by an invigorating haze-like high that uplifts and inspires creativity. The indica aspect complements this with deep relaxation, heightened senses, and an elevated perception of colors. Go slow! Blue Dream can be a trap for the overzealous, and excessive consumption can easily lead to a full-body and couch-locking stone.

With its broad terpene and cannabinoid profile, Blue Dream offers remarkable therapeutic value, contributing to the relief of inflammation and pain, stress, anxiety and depression, insomnia, and appetite disorders.

Cultivation

This unique hybrid is a source of inspiration for beginners. The ease of cultivation will motivate you with sure-fire prospects that are evident right from the start. Get ready for a mesmerizing experience of vigorous vegetative growth followed by rapid bud formation. This strain thrives both indoors and outdoors.

Indoors, opt for textile grow bags (smart pots) or airpots with a capacity of at least 20 liters (5.3 gallons), as the root ball of the strain is as massive as the above-ground part. Use training techniques that shape a bushy plant profile: low-stress training (LST), FIMming, topping, and tying. Watering and fertilization should be done on a scheduled basis, with mandatory monitoring of pH and ppm levels.

Blue Dream is highly resistant to mold, but is somewhat susceptible to insects. We strongly recommend regular plant inspections, preventative measures, and treatment with natural methods of control if necessary.
