Blue Dream has two classic cannabis strains as parents, viz. Blueberry Ice and a special U.S. Haze cut. This is a 70% sativa Californian strain producing high THC levels in less than 9 weeks of flowering. Growers will obtain good to very good yields with with buds having an uplifting and long-lasting cerebral effect. Not especially difficult to grow although some previous experience will help to realise its full potential.
Blue Dream is a medium-sized plant when grown indoors but it is outdoors that this wonderful strain shows its full potential. Taking between 65 - 70 days to complete its flowering cycle indoors, Blue Dream can produce yields of up to 500 gr/m2. Outdoors it thrives in dry, Mediterranean climates such as that of its home in California where it reaches a height of 250 - 350 cm. Northern hemisphere harvests will be ready in the middle of October with very good yields between 650 - 750 gr/plant. Expect large bud development.
The flavour of Blue Dream is gently citric (lemon) with notes of Haze and Madeira wine. THC levels are high while CBD content is low at less than 1%. In terms of effect Blue Dream produces a softly cerebral sensation with stimulating power.
Blue Dream is particularly high in the monoterpene Alpha-Pinene which has many therapeutic and medicinal benefits including: as an anti-inflammatory, for bronchodilation, high MRSA resistance/antibacterial, it counters the short-term memory loss effects of THC, acts as an antidote to THC overdose effects, and is also anxiolytic.
