Blue Dream originated in Northern California, where DJ Short's Blueberry was crossed with a Haze (possibly Silver Haze) plant from the Santa Cruz area. The resulting strain is a sativa dominant hybrid that retains most of it's Haze characteristics with the addition of the Blueberry genetics to add to the flavor and color of the buds.
Blue Dream is a dense, popcorn-like bud with purple and blue hues and light orange hairs. It has a very spicy aroma and taste, some would say slightly tropical, making it an extremely palatable choice.
When you smoke Blue Dream, you will first feel its Sativa-like effects: you will become very focused and calm; after a few more hits, you will feel the Indica effects and within an hour... you'll be relaaaxed. It is great to unwind after a long day and because it is not an overwhelming strain, it's a good choice if you need to function normally during the day. It is also great for use in food-based preparations.
Growing this strain requires some patience: it can be a slow grower in the early stages taking some time to branch out in its entirety. It requires close attention to humidity to avoid mold and mildew. It is also a favorite of mites and pests so try to avoid exposure if you can! Once the plant reaches maturity, however, it is fairly easy to maintain.
