Strain of the Week: May 10, 2015 (Blue Dream)

Originating from the ocean cooled hills along the coast of Northern California, Blue Dream is a perennially popular strain on the West Coast, developing dedicated, almost fanatic fans — we here at the Review included.

A hybrid of the indica Blueberry and an arguably undetermined Haze strain, Blue Dream is immediately identified by its pastel blue-green and frosty buds and pale orange hairs, standing out against other strains on the shelf.  The sweet dark berry scent and berry and pie crust flavor is comfortingly familiar in every grow.

Bred to be a near perfect symmetry of indica and sativa effects, the slight sativa dominance creates an uplifting and euphoric high.  Capable of a heavy, stoned head, Blue Dream demands respect.  However, that same disconnecting high and physical sedation are perfect for ailments such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
