The Blue Dream cannabis strain is a 60/40 Sativa Dominant Hybrid whose genetic origins can be traced directly to Blueberry and Haze, two legendary strains in the cannabis community. It is commonly assumed to have originated somewhere in California, with many people speculating that it was originally bred in the Santa Cruz area, but the original breeder is unknown. Blue Dream invites an experience of full body relaxation paired with stimulating cerebral effects and is commonly used in the medical cannabis community for the treatment of a variety of mood disorders, inflammation and chronic pain.
The Blue Dream cannabis strain was created thanks to the work of cannabis breeder DJ Short. DJ Short was originally from Oregon but his breeding efforts have had a heavy influence on the cannabis community all along the West Coast, especially in California.
DJ Short bred one of the parent strains to Blue Dream, the ever-popular Blueberry. The other strain used to create Blue Dream is the classic Sativa strain, Haze. In recent years, the Blue Dream strain has gained significant popularity in California among the medical cannabis community for helping to treat a variety of ailments.
Blue Dream has a very high THC content that ranges between 17% and 24%, with the highest samples testing around 26% THC.
Blue Dream has a medium concentration of CBD with most samples averaging right around 2% CBD, while some samples have even been known to test as high as 3% CBD content.
Blue Dream is considered a great strain for a variety of ailments like anxiety, depression, pain, stress and migraines. While these are the most common ailments that people say Blue Dream helps with, it is important to know that other patients have listed benefits for ailments like bipolar disorder, PTSD, and ADD/ADHD. This means that if you are new to medical cannabis, Blue Dream may be a strain that you want to start your journey with as it is known to alleviate symptoms associated with many different ailments.
Many users state that this strain is amazing for the symptoms of depression as it has a long-lasting cerebral high that will help you feel creative and uplifted rather than being couch locked and groggy. Patients who suffer from pain associated with issues such as accidents, back pain or arthritic pain say that this is their favourite strain for dealing with pain from multiple sources.
Blue dream produces a stimulating rush of cerebral effects punctuated by both a clear headed focus and a relaxed body stone. These long lasting effects can remain for hours, making this a great strain for treating medical ailments which persist throughout the day and night.
This strain may be too strong for daytime use by beginners, as its effects and powerful THC content can be a bit overwhelming.
It is important to start dosing with this strain very slowly and then slowly increase the amount consumed over time. The high associated with Blue Dream is often said to be very cerebral in nature but at the same time has a relaxing and calming effect on the body. Most patients say that they feel euphoric, relaxed and happy for several hours after consuming Blue Dream and that it delivers many beneficial medical effects.
Blue Dream delivers a distinct flavor profile of fruity berries, like its famous parent strain Blueberry. Followed by vanilla and earthy undertones, it offers a complex bouquet for the senses of taste and smell. Consumers should be careful to make certain that they are purchasing a verified Blue Dream strain because, due to its overall popularity, this strain has caused some vendors to sell imitation strains that claim to be Blue Dream but are not a match genetically.
Blue Dream is regarded as being a fairly easy cannabis strain to grow both indoors and outdoors, perfect for novice and expert growers alike. One problem that you may run into while growing indoors is that Blue Dream can become quite tall if left unchecked, so it is important to plan accordingly for plant spacing and proper maintenance. You may want to top your plants early so that they do not get out of hand. You can expect very high yields from Blue Dream for both indoor and outdoor cultivation after about 10 weeks of flowering.
