To find out more about this all-time classic strain and how to grow it, keep on reading!
What are the recreational blend of effects of the Blueberry strain?
- Relaxed
- Happy
- Euphoric
- Sleepy
Containing 80% indica, 20% sativa, a THC level that averages 20%, and an impressive 2% CBD content to boot, it’s no wonder that Blueberry has maintained its legendary status in the cannabis community.
Considered by many, including seasoned users, as a “one and done” kind of indica, Blueberry is a potent strain that quickly delivers heavy physical relaxation and euphorically uplifting cerebral effects.
While its upbeat and happy properties are sure to raise your spirits, leaving you feeling loquacious and maybe even quite giggly, it would be a mistake to think that these mentally rousing effects will equate to productivity or the ability to get things done.
Instead, this indica-dominant strain is about helping eradicate stress and replace it with some levity, whilst sinking your body deeper and deeper into the couch with its long-lasting blissful relaxation.
Basically, Blueberry is the ideal strain to indulge in after a long and busy, pressure-filled day of nonstop doing where you’ve been putting one fire out after another as it’s all about providing users with some near-immediate mental and physical decompression.
It’s the ultimate tranquilizing strain that even the most active-amped-up minds won’t be able to succumb to when it comes to falling soundly asleep.
What are the therapeutic benefits of the Blueberry marijuana strain?
Blueberry’s high indica content, powerful THC content, and exceptionally high CBD level also make it an incredibly popular strain with physicians who are licensed to prescribe medical marijuana to their patients for various mental and physical medical conditions in places that have a legal MMJ program.
Thanks to Blueberry’s mentally cheering and deeply calming effects, it is often prescribed to patients for its anecdotal ability to eliminate or at least help reduce chronic stress, feelings of despair, negative thinking, etc.
As for addressing various conditions, Blueberry is considered to be a potentially therapeutic benefit aid to medical users who are in need of temporary respite from chronic pain, muscle spasms and cramps, migraines, and nausea.
Finally, as a deeply sedating indica-dominant hybrid, some users claim Blueberry is an excellent strain in helping those with insomnia and other sleep-related disorders fall and stay asleep for the night.
What are the adverse effects of the Blueberry cannabis strain?
As already mentioned at the start, the Blueberry weed strain is infamously potent, which means that those with a low tolerance to THC should proceed with caution and conservatively, as it can knock even much more experienced users out.
If you end up overindulging in Blueberry, know that some users have reported some side effects like a minor headache or bout of dizziness, and others have said it has slightly increased their already existing levels of paranoia.
Otherwise, when used in conservative moderation, the most likely side effects are those of cottonmouth and dry eyes.
What are Blueberry’s fragrance and flavor profiles?
What is Blueberry’s terpene profile?
Terpenes occur naturally in cannabis, as well as in other types of plants, flowers, herbs, fruits, etc. They are what give all of this flora/fauna, etc. their flavors and fragrances, as well as their potential healing properties. For example, lavender is rich in linalool, which is a terpene that is known to have calming effects, which is why it is used in aromatherapy and other traditional healing modalities to help users feel more relaxed.
With Blueberry, its dominant strain is myrcene. The other terpenes found in this world-famous strain are that of β-Pinene, bisabolol, caryophyllene, terpineol, D-Limonene, and linalool.
The smell and taste of Blueberry
Of the reasons that users and growers love the Blueberry strain so much is its deliciously fruity aromas and blueberry flavors.
Its blueberry scent is accentuated by shocks of earthy pine, and its taste pretty much mimics its fragrance gifting users with sweet blueberry scrumptiousness with hints of tasty vanilla.
How do I grow Blueberry cannabis seeds?
Even though this award-winning strain is resilient to colder temperatures and fluctuating humidity levels, because it has some very particular cultivation needs, Blueberry is not the best option for beginner growers. As such, those with a bit more experience and skill under their belts will be glad to hear that since Growers Choice Seeds only sells feminized seeds, they have a 99% likelihood of ending up with all-female plants–thereby saving them time, money, and resources as they won’t be having to deal with weeding out any pollinating male plants that could turn their precious buds to seed.
While growers can practice indoor cultivation with this strain, Blueberry actually does best outside, in part because its plants grow to be both tall and wide, which is somewhat unusual for an indica-dominant strain.
Grown outside, Blueberry will thrive in a Mediterranean-like climate that is abundant in sunshine and high-quality, nutrient-rich soil. Many experts recommend that when you plant your Blueberry seedlings you do so in soil that is already packed with nutrients, and then you won’t have to feed your growing plants as frequently.
Some other growing tips include topping your Blueberry plants early, and pruning their interior stems and branches from time to time as these inner growing parts can end up developing powdery mildew on account of how bushy a grower this strain is.
Lastly, to bring out Blueberry purple and red hues, you’ll want to expose your crops to cooler, but never freezing, overnight temperatures near the end of their vegetative growth stage.
What do Blueberry cannabis plants look like?
Blueberry’s plants are just tall and bushy, they’re also quite sticky as they produce highly resinous buds that will look more transparent than cloudy or amber-colored when they’ve reached full maturation.
The dense, gorgeous nuggets that this strain provides growers with are a mix of forest greens, bright blues, and when properly shocked, swirling accents of reds and purples, which is to say, this strain has some serious bag appeal.
When it comes time to break your harvested buds up, you’ll likely find that you will need to use a grinder as they’re quite challenging to break apart by hand.
When to harvest your Blueberry plants
When it comes time to reap Blueberry’s beautiful harvests, this beloved hybrid will more than reward and thank you for all your hard work and care with some very generous yields–especially when grown outside!
Grown indoors, this indica-dominant strain usually just takes 9 weeks to complete its flowering period, after which it should provide a sizable yield of about 510 or so grams per square meter.
However, when cultivated outdoors in the proper setting, Blueberry should produce an even more massive harvest of over 700 grams per plant somewhere around the middle part of October.
