ELYXR Strain Spotlight: Blue Dream

Blue Dream Strain
November 22, 2023 | Elyxr's Blog

Easily, one of the most in-demand strains over the last few years has been Blue Dream, a cultivar that many people consider the very best sativa-dominant hybrid of all time. If you’re looking for a strain that gives you the best qualities of both indicas and sativas, this one should be at the top of your list. It doesn’t hurt that Blue Dream also delivers a dreamy blueberry flavor, as the name implies. Let’s look at this strain more closely as you’re going to want to grab it if you haven’t yet.

Blue Dream Basics

Blue Dream is 60% sativa / 40% indica hybrid that comes from crossing together Blueberry and Haze. Its THC levels vary between 17%-24%, although on the current market you’re far more likely to find the higher end of the spectrum since the most potent form of the strain is what’s most in demand these days. That means that this strain packs some major power, and you should go lightly if you’re a relative beginner.

Bud Characteristics

Blue Dream’s buds look like fluffy pieces of popcorn in terms of shape, and they’re large and dense. There’s a bright green hue with blue undertones, amber hairs and a coating of creamy white resin that makes them sticky to the touch.

Growing Blue Dream Seeds

Blue Dream is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, but it prefers a Mediterranean climate if grown outdoors. At 68°F -77°F in the early stages and just a few degrees lower once it reaches the flowering stage. Blue Dream’s buds will be ready for harvest when up to 70% of the pistils (hair-like structures) have turned from white to reddish-brown, and the trichomes (tiny resin-filled glands) are milky with some turning amber.

Flavor & Aroma

Blue Dream is worth trying for the flavor alone. Both the taste and smell instantly make you think of blueberry pie, with the rich and sweet berry notes taking center stage as notes of nuttiness, earthiness and a hint of vanilla make for a tantalizing backdrop. You will get a hint of pure sugar that smacks the tongue, as every hit you take, makes it even more tempting to go back for more.

Blue Dream Uses and Effects

People often report a numbing effect on physical discomfort, which makes this strain a truly exceptional choice if your body has been feeling tense lately. Overall, we recommend it as a good evening strain as while it does have some motivating qualities, it’s likely that you will end the high feeling very relaxed and ready to call it a day.

What Can You Expect When Taking Blue Dream?

What we, and so many others, love about Blue Dream is that it never pushes you too far into either sativa or indica territory. The fast-acting high instantly gives your mind a sense of euphoric delight as a smile takes over your face. Quickly, you will find yourself being able to focus more, as a feeling of limitless creativity helps you zero in on those projects that you’ve been putting off. The euphoria is combined with a feeling of relaxation in the mind, with negative thoughts disappearing from your awareness.

The body high is equally pleasurable and balanced, as you can look forward to a warm and tingly type of sensation in every muscle, without ever really getting couchlocked.
