Perhaps anyone who has had experience with at least a few models of medical cannabis has certainly heard of Blueberry at least
We quietly envy those of you who haven't heard of Blueberry yet.
This genetics is undoubtedly one of the absolutely unmistakable celebrities of the cannabis breeding scene ...

Blueberry: cannabis more popular than mountain blueberries

The genetics of Blueberry cannabis is without a doubt one of the most excellent and also the most colorful hybrids of cannabis today. The history of this model takes us back to the "ancient" times of the 1970s, when the well-known breeder DJ Short began experimenting with exotic sativas from Colombia, Panama, Mexico and Thailand in the west coast of the USA.

At that time, DJ Short always grew more than 100 plants at a time, carefully selecting those that, in his opinion, showed the best qualities. DJ Short's breeding efforts were not easy, especially due to his selectivity, when his demands were often met by only one plant out of a hundred. A significant obstacle was also the instability of the genetics of the time, which caused a frequent transition of plants to the hermaphrodite type. However, over time, his efforts have borne the desired fruit that recreational cannabis users and patients can enjoy to this day.

Evolution of two special sativas

Extensive research into sativa- type cannabis plants eventually led the breeder to two specimens that were in his own words "clear champions". The first of these two beauties was a very potent sativa from Thailand called " Juicy Fruit ”. It gained popularity thanks to its unique terpene spectrum (as the name suggests) and its long-lasting effect, which often lasted for several hours. The second was Purple Thai , stabilized by DJ Short's colleagues in the Oregon region.

“ Purple Thai was one of the real exotics at the time. It was a cross between Chocolate Thai and Highland Oaxa Gold. The hybrid also gained attention thanks to a very special, dark shade of adult flowers. ”

Purple eventually became the absolute favorite Thai , which in the opinion of DJ Short is as potent as Juicy Fruit , but even at higher doses in the user does not cause anxiety, which is associated with Juica Fruit many have met. However, both varieties eventually became the cornerstones of the female side of all subsequent hybrids that this famous gardener sent out into the world.

The original Afghani was proudly chosen as the male plant indica by DJ Short discovered during 1979 thanks to his gardeners friends. This indica DJ caught, even though the time for absolute standard cultivation tents considered sativa.

"The main realization was that with a combination of indic and sativas , hybrids can be achieved that bloom much faster than pure sativas ."

With this realization, an entire era of cannabis cultivation lined exclusively with exotic sativas ended and a new era began, an era of hybrids. The Indians offered breeders the opportunity to grow small, dense, profitable and potent hybrids, which of course became an irresistible temptation for many. However, early Indian enthusiasm soon passed away and gardeners began to lack the exotic complexity of sativa . However, the whole trend has led to the evolution of hybridization methods, thanks to which today's market is full of diverse varieties and models.

So DJ Short currently had 3 popular cannabis models in his repertoire, with which he began to give birth to completely new plant species:

Juicy Fruit - Thai sativa
Purple Thai - Thai sativa stabilized in Oregon

Afghani Indica - original landrace indica from Afghanistan

One of them was, of course, the legendary blueberry ...

When Blueberry first saw photons of the world ...

Blueberry is specifically a Juicy connection Fruits and native Afghans Indicy . As a result, it is a blend between the exotic genetics of Thailand and the dense potency of landrace indiky . However, as DJ Short himself claims, the real Blueberry, with its growth and appearance, leans more towards the Indian side, after which it inherited a larger genetic imprint.

"However, nowadays there are also Blueberry models combining sative expression, such as the popular Haze Berry served by seed bank Royal Queen Seeds . ”

During the eighties and briefly in the nineties, the DJ kept concentrating on his creations and relentlessly improving them generation after generation. During 1993, he started working with the then seed bank Sagarmatha Seed Company .

"Over the next two years, the company signed a contract and Seed Bank began shipping two of its most famous hybrids to the world: Blueberry and Blue Velvet."

Blue Velvet became, after Blueberry, the greatest success that came from DJ Short 's growing efforts. It is a genetically very similar variety, but it is more balanced in the sativa: indica ratio compared to Blueberry and is popular with users looking for a precisely balanced fifty: fifty hybrid. After finishing his collaboration with Sagarmatha , DJ Short made a very good decision to move on to the current legends of the cannabis scene: to Dutch Seed Bank Dutch Passion

What about subsequent cooperation with Dutch As far as Passion is concerned, DJ Short mainly supplied the supply of seeds and the final selection of the plants was already taken care of by the growers of the seed bank itself. However, even so, as a result, many new and also popular strains, such as Purple, entered the world Passion .

“ Dutch To this day, Passion also offers other models created by the gardening art of DJ Short , but Blueberry , which is one of our most popular varieties among our customers, still remains an absolute classic. There is also often interest in its self-flowering version: Car Blueberry . ”

The true genetics of Blueberry and decades of breeding efforts

As you can now imagine after reading the rich history of the legendary Blueberry , DJ Short's efforts have lasted for many years and thanks to a selective selection of the best genetics, it is now possible to grow truly original plants bearing the spirit of their original ancestors from Afghanistan and Thailand.

It is, of course, very difficult and perhaps impossible to trace for each individual variety of Blueberry , to what extent and through which genetics its traces reach. However, the quality of her ancestors is certain, as evidenced by the undiminished and perhaps ever-increasing popularity of this world-famous variety of marijuana. More than 40 years of cultivation efforts are definitely reflected in this model to this day.

However, in today's clutter of all sorts of varieties and seed banks of adapted Blueberry species, one blueberry may show more on the side of Thai sativa , another on the side of Afghan indica . Of course, you can also expect the possibility of a balanced hybrid. Experimentation with Blueberry plants offers many surprises and , in the vast majority , positive results.

So let's look at a few varieties of Blueberry , which are by far the most popular on today's hemp market and, according to world reviewers, also the best:

Auto Blueberry (Fair Seeds )

The Blueberry self-flowering variety presented by the Czech seed bank Fair Seeds remains a favorite among our customers . Of course, the price of the popularity of this particular version is added by the price, which is clearly popular compared to other brands, and the package of 10 seeds is up to 3 times cheaper than other versions.

However, there are also those who do not recognize the popular Fair Seeds version of Blueberry and prefer to choose some of the more exclusive varieties, such as:

Blue Thai

Thanks to the experienced expertise of Dinafe members, Blue Thai successfully combines genes from one of the most popular Dutch Thai Skunks and, of course, the original Blueberry .

Blaqhippiejesus : “ Blue Thai is the variety for you if you are looking for light, slightly acting hybrids. The mental state achieved after the application of this model is an ideal middle ground , during which one feels that the effects of the variety do not lean sharply on either the indica side or the sativa side. Blue Thai is exactly the model that will force you to gracefully get up from your chair to embark on projects around the house that you have postponed until later in the spring and as we all know "doing all grief will drive away", which of course makes Blue Thai a helper against sadness and depression. "

Blue Widow

Blue Widow is another of the therapeutically popular Blueberry varieties, which offers users something from both sides of the spectrum of indica and sativa effects. The advantages of applying this model are described anonymously by one of the patients :

“As a member of a day-to-day creative company, I have often been limited by chronic neck pain. Medical cannabis didn't help me much, because under the influence of today's models I was not able to participate in work sessions. I was mainly bothered by the frequent dryness in my mouth. I like Blue Widow that it's not a super strong model, but effective enough to relieve my pain. However, thanks to the mild effect, I am still able to continue working and keep it functional, which I greatly appreciate. ”

Haze Berry

Haze Berry is the work of truly prolific Royal breeders Queen Seeds who have more than one of the leading models of the cannabis scene. In this genetic combination of Super Silver Haze and Blueberry , the breeders tried to achieve a result that will be of particular interest to Blueberry enthusiasts looking for something of the cerebral touch typical of sativa .

Wikileaf users. com describes the effects of Haze Berry divided into two basic phases: the effect is first manifested by the cerebral refreshment of the mind, which the plant inherited from Haze . However, during the second half of the effect, the condition spills over into a calm mood, where the user begins to feel in particular a physical part of the effect suitable for calming the body, which is suitable, for example, for patients suffering from frequent nausea.

Sour Blueberry

Another type of Blueberry suitable for users who want to maintain functionality and the ability to perform daily duties is Sour Blueberry , the flowering of the famous seed bank Hubmoldt SO from California.

Reviewers from the famous cannabis database Cannabis. info on Sour Blueberry looked pretty close and the fact that it is a variety suitable for use during the day is the same as most users. The reason is mainly the average THC content of around 14% , which is enough to impress both novices and more experienced users, but at the same time does not discourage anyone with an overly narcotic effect that prevents normal continuation of activities.
