Blueberry

Among the plethora of berry-like strains available, Blueberry remains the undisputed leader for connoisseurs who choose cannabis with their senses. The enchanting sweet flavor of blueberries, accented by fruits and other wild berries, takes on a special meaning in the context of pleasurable consumption: it provides a triple pleasure of flavor, aroma, and psychoactive experience. The appearance of the plant is equally enticing, as it acquires an exquisite purple hue during the flowering stage.

Genetics and Characteristics

The first members of the Blue family were bred half a century ago. Much has changed in the cannabis industry since then, but not the demand for hybrids with a rich berry profile. At that time, the purest Afghani was crossed with the vibrant Purple Thai to bring the magic of Blueberry to growers and stoners alike. The strain has repeatedly won awards at international cannabis events, and isn't that proof of worldwide recognition? This indica-dominant (80/20) hybrid retains some sativa characteristics but with a much shorter flowering time of 8-9 weeks. So, if you plant seedlings outdoors in April or May, you can expect a harvest by the end of September. Note that despite such a short life cycle, you can get up to 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of delicious buds from a single outdoor plant! Indoors, the yield remains modest – 350-400 g/m² (12-14 oz). Such are the limitations of genetics.

Flavor and Aroma

A wide range of terpenes create an amazing berry and fruity palette that envelops every taste bud with its broad spectrum, complemented by a tangy and spicy pungency. Once lit in a bowl or joint, the buds reveal a characteristic sweet blueberry flavor that lingers on the palate.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The indica dominance of this strain provides deep physical relaxation, while the sativa part keeps the inner gears turning, maintaining sociability and lightning-fast thinking.

Phytochemical analysis confirms the presence of up to 24% THC, as well as moderate amounts of CBG, CBN, CBD and other cannabinoids. The presence of these compounds significantly expands the range of therapeutic applications of Blueberry. The medicinal benefits of the strain and its extracts in relieving pain and inflammation, preventing anxiety, stress, depression, and insomnia have been officially confirmed.

Cultivation

The plant can be easily cloned, opening up even more opportunities for growers to increase the productivity of each germinated seed and conduct their own breeding experiments.

Blueberry thrives both indoors and outdoors. When grown outdoors, the only difficulty you may face is the need to maintain stable humidity levels and constant exposure to sunlight. Also, the privacy of your grow operation may be compromised by the mass of your 7-foot "trees". Solve this problem by choosing a location that has enough surrounding vegetation to hide your cannabis garden.

With an average height of 150-180 cm (59-71 inches), good branching and an optimal leaf-to-bud ratio (which means minimal need to prune excess foliage), this strain is well-suited to growing indoors. Those wishing to give their plant’s leaves an original purple hue should lower the temperature for a short period just before the start of the flowering stage. This artificial stress will not only color the foliage in bright purple tones, but may also give the leaves an unexpected red edge.

FAQ

Is this strain good for beginners?

This strain is not considered easy to grow. A harvest is guaranteed, but its amount will depend on your determination, willingness to learn from the experiences of others, and your desire to succeed.

Can one overdose on marijuana?

It's impossible. Consuming Blueberry in excessive amounts makes you lose full control of the body and quickly leads to sleep.
