Budtender Strain of the Month: Spinach’s Blue Dream

They say dreams are make-believe, but Blue Dream is 100% real life.

This month, we’re spotlighting Spinach’s take on the iconic Blue Dream strain, a true gem in the cannabis world that has earned its spot as one of the most popular strains in North America. Known for its balanced effects and delectable flavour, Blue Dream is a Sativa-dominant strain that perfectly blends the best of both worlds, offering a delightful mix of relaxation and euphoria.

Allow this West Coast wonder to transport you to sunny California—just close your eyes, inhale, and ride the delicious wave of sweet berries and citrus that’ll take you straight to a creative cloud nine. Trust us, you’re in for a dreamy ride.

A Brief History of Blue Dream

The Blue Dream weed strain has been a fan-favourite since it first hit the California cannabis market in 2003.

Its origin story begins with the crossing of Blueberry and Haze, both popular strains in their own right since the 70s and 90s, respectively. The potent cross between an Indica with calming, relaxing, and euphoric effects (Blueberry) and a Sativa that produces an uplifting, creative high (Haze) has made the Blue Dream strain effects the stuff of legends.

As word spread of this incredibly balanced sativa dominant hybrid, its fame grew, cementing its status as one of the most sought-after strains in North America. Canadian consumers can find Blue Dream dried flower cultivated by Spinach, the number one best-selling flower brand in the country! We suppose you can say it’s a Spinach Blue Dream come true?

Spinach’s Blue Dream cannabis strain may be just as dreamy as the original—keep scrolling to learn more about what makes it so popular.

Appearance:

Blue Dream is visually striking, with large, dense buds that are vivid green, and adorned with a generous coating of frosty trichomes. Bright orange pistils and blue hairs weave through the nugs, adding contrast and complementing its rich blue undertones (hence the name!).

Aroma and Flavours:

One of the top defining features of Spinach’s Blue Dream flower is its aroma—the captivating scent of sweet, fresh blueberries hits you like a blast of sunshine. Reviewers of the strain also noted subtle hints of earthy pine and citrus.

When smoked or vaped, Blue Dream offers a smooth and flavourful experience, with its sweet berry taste dominating the palate, followed by a refreshing citrus tang and a touch of herbal spice on the exhale, making each puff a journey for the senses. A quick search will land you on a Blue Dream strain review or two saying that the delicious flavours of blueberry and sugar stay on your tongue long after the smoke is gone.

Blue Dream Strain Effects

This iconic strain produces some of the most well-balanced effects the cannabis community has experienced, making it suitable for various occasions.

If you’re looking into trying Spinach’s Blue Dream strain, know that it’s a true crowd-pleaser, in every sense of the word. The high begins with a gentle cerebral rush, inducing an uplifting euphoria and enhanced creativity. As the Sativa effects energize the mind, a wave of relaxation follows, soothing the body without causing sedation. It’s the perfect strain for social occasions, wake-and-bake sessions, or before a workout.

You’ll likely find more than one Spinach Blue Dream review that recommends this strain for pain relief. With that said, if you plan to use Blue Dream effects for pain management or other medical concerns, speak with a medical professional beforehand.

Its high THC content makes it a bit more suitable for veteran cannabis consumers, so newbies, take note. Always start low and go slow.

How the Blue Dream Strain Is Grown

The Blue Dream weed strain is fairly easy to grow, so it’s a dream for both novice growers and experts. It cruises through the growing process with minimal hiccups, but like all living things, it still needs a good amount of TLC to thrive.

Something to note about the Blue Dream strain is that it grows best in outdoor environments—mainly because as a Sativa, it tends to grow large and chunky. Plus, it comes from California, so it’s partial to the sun. Ontario is no Vancouver, but you can still rock your own Blue Dream garden with a few tricks!

When grown indoors, you just need to learn some topping and training techniques, or maybe use stakes to manage the height of your plant. As with most cannabis strains, you’ll have to give it enough light and nutrients to avoid growing problems.
