Blueberry Crumble

Blueberry is an indica marijuana strain made by crossing Purple Thai with Thai. A true A-List cannabis strain, Blueberry’s legendary status soared to new heights after claiming the High Times’ Cannabis Cup 2000 for Best indica. The long history of the strain goes back to the late 1970s when American breeder DJ Short was working with a variety of exotic landrace strains. However, throughout the decades of Blueberry’s cultivation, the genetics have been passed around, due in large part to DJ Short working with multiple seed banks and breeders. The sweet flavors of fresh blueberries combine with relaxing effects to produce a long-lasting sense of euphoria. Many consumers utilize Blueberry to help contend with pain and stress, while connoisseurs and growers admire the strain for its colorful hues and high THC content.

Blueberry, commonly known as DJ Short Blueberry, is an Indica-leaning hybrid strain created by legendary breeder DJ Short. The strain was bred by crossing a male Afghani landrace, only one generation removed from Afghanistan, with two Thai females — Highland Thai (aka Juicy Fruit) and Purple Thai — which he claims produced virtually identical results.

Blueberry reportedly grows medium-to-tall in a 49-56 day flowering period, producing THC levels that range between 16% to 24%. Best grown indoors,especially using the Sea of Green method, the strain tends to produce above-average yields of dense, sticky, purple-hued buds. When cured properly, this strain reportedly gives off an aroma and taste that resemble fresh blueberries.

Though DJ Short was the initial breeder of Blueberry, other seed banks have also experimented with this strain with great success. For instance, a Blueberry strain produced by the Noon won Best Indica and best strain overall in the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup, while another Blueberry strain from Dutch Passion Seed Co. won third place in the Indica Cup at the 2002 High Times Cannabis Cup.
