Blueberry

Strong, fruity smell that goes straight through a baggie and the pocket of your jeans, I ended up transferring this bud into a plastic tub to stop my whole house from stinking of peng.

Background

I recently came across one of the tastiest strains I have smoked since Amsterdam. The Blueberry strain is without doubt one of the most iconic and colourful cannabis strains today. The origins of this strain date back to 1970’s America and a well-known cannabis breeder named DJ Short.

Appearance

This Blueberry has bright calyxes with dark green leaves and long orange hairs. Reasonably dense and perfectly dried, this bud is covered in crystals extending all over the leaves. Not trimmed to perfection, but still looks beautiful.

Aroma

You know that sort of weed that you can smell, on yourself, half hour later on the walk home? Yeah it is that strong. This absolutely stank in a beautiful way, and my mouth was almost watering in anticipation by the time I got home. Strong, fruity smell that goes straight through a baggie and the pocket of your jeans, I ended up transferring this bud into a plastic tub to stop my whole house from stinking of peng.

Taste

As good as it smells - the taste is simply delicious. Really, really fruity, and not harsh, it leaves a lovely taste on the tongue after you exhale. Quite morish!

Effects

After my first spliff, I recorded that I had been staring into space for a good 5 minutes, it hit me hard and fast. The THC content of this batch must be high, as one spliff was enough to keep I really stoned for a good hour or so. Feels quite indica dominant, quite a bit of monging after heavy smoking, but with the sativa-like happiness. The intensity is similar to a strong cheese.

I would happily get this again.

Conclusion

A lovely smoke, one of my favourite English-grown-bought strains to date. Up there with Strawberry Cheese!

Reported Effects of Blueberry

Users most commonly report feeling sleepy, hungry and relaxed after consuming Blueberry. These subjective effects are drawn from user-reported data and individual experiences vary considerably. The effects profile is influenced by the strain's dominant terpenes — Myrcene (aroma and mood), Caryophyllene (comfort and ease), and Pinene (freshness and energy) — as well as individual tolerance, consumption method and dosage.

Terpene Profile

The dominant terpenes recorded for Blueberry are Myrcene (an earthy, musky profile commonly associated with relaxation and the classic sedative sensation), Caryophyllene (a spicy, peppery character associated with comfort and ease) and Pinene (a sharp pine aroma linked to alertness and mental clarity). Terpene profiles can vary between phenotypes, growing conditions and curing methods.

For more on how terpenes influence the cannabis experience, see our guide to cannabis terpenes and browse the terpene directory.

Flowering Time and Cultivation

Blueberry has a typical indoor flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks. Outdoor growers in the Northern Hemisphere can expect harvest around early-to-mid October. The cultivar is known for moderate height, pronounced colour change to purple-blue in cooler flowering temperatures, and moderate yields.
