Although the original breeder remains unknown, it is also associated with Santa Cruz Haze and DJ Shorts Blueberry. Without further ado…here’s your ultimate guide to the world-famous Blue Dream cannabis strain:
Good Genes: Blue Dream Marijuana Genetic Lineage
Blue Dream, a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain, is a potent cross of Blueberry Indica and Super Silver Haze, resulting in a truly exceptional experience. The sativa-to-indica ratio in Blue Dream favors the former. This combination gives it such a delightful balance of a sativa-heavy effect. While the sativa heritage brings uplifting vibes, the touch of indica guarantees a chill undertone.
This genetic makeup is one reason Blue Dream is considered one of the best hybrids in the cannabis world.

Terp Talk: Breakdown of Blue Dream Terpenes
Myrcene is the dominant terpene found in Blue Dream. Myrcene contributes musky flavors found in many herbs, such as thyme or lemongrass. In Blue Dream, Myrcene works with three other predominant terpenes (Caryophyllene, Linalool and Pinene) to create a symphony of scents. These compounds also give the strain its awesome and herbal profile. Not to mention, the aroma these terpenes provide has possible therapeutic benefits.
