Start you day with the dreamy, energizing high of Blue Dream.
Also going by the name “Azure Haze”, Blue Dream is every marijuana user’s dream. Descending from the powerful lineages of Super Silver Haze and Blueberry, it’s one of the most popular strains of all time.
This genetic background gave rise to its fruity scents and flavors, redolent of vanilla, herbs, and spices. Besides being a top-selling weed, it was also one of the finalists at the 2019 Canadian Cannabis Awards in the Top Sativa Flower category.
With a THC level that can reach up to 24%, it provides a feel-good cerebral high that drives smokers to be more creative and productive. It’s an uplifting force to be reckoned with and often results in more than a few giggles. It’s an excellent energizer during the day, particularly during team activities at work. In unison with its intense recreational effects are its medicinal advantages owing to its 2% CBD level. Blue Dream is beloved at MMJ dispensaries for its ability to stress, social anxiety, and depression.
This California hybrid is available as photoperiod and autoflowering seeds. Growing it at home might be challenging for beginners. The plant’s height and vulnerability to pests have to be managed properly. Nevertheless, it is capable of producing monster yields.

Blue Dream doesn’t grow as tall as pure Sativas, but neither is it as short as most Indicas. Still, it requires enough vertical space to fit its 150-cm stature. When it matures, it’s an exceptionally beautiful plant with bright green buds drowning in crystalline trichomes. Colder nighttime temperature will bring out some lovely purple hues, a gift from its Blueberry ancestor. This coloration is the perfect backdrop for the flaming orange and red pistils.
Although Blue Dream would make a fantastic addition to any marijuana garden, it takes experience and skill to ensure its success. For one thing, its amazing aroma attracts pests, specifically red spider mites. This pest feeds on plant sap, sucking it out of the leaves. They spread quickly, so it’s important to stop the infestation in its tracks before the plant becomes permanently damaged. Of course, prevention is better than cure; therefore, the best setting for growing this strain would be indoors.
A controlled environment is much easier to sterilize, but make sure that you maintain the temperature between 18 and 29 degrees Celsius (65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit). The relative humidity (RH) must be kept between 30% to 50%. At no time should it ever exceed 70%. Either soil or hydroponics is a suitable growing medium, but keep the pH level at 5.5 up to 6.5.
Ensure that your ceiling can accommodate the plant’s tall height. Otherwise, you run the risk of leaf burn if the plants get too close to the grow lights. The best technique to employ to bump up the yield is the Sea of Green (SOG). After 9 to 10 weeks of flowering, you should be able to harvest an impressive 600 grams (21 ounces) of alluring bud per square meter.
If you have no choice but to grow outdoors, the optimal climate is Mediterranean-like with plenty of sunshine. The open space outside is definitely enough room for the plants towering reach, but keep an eye out for spider mite attacks and powdery mildew. The plants shouldn’t stand close to each other – the recommended distance between them is 1 to 1.5 meters. If all goes well, you can expect 600 grams (21 ounces) of usable weed by mid-October.
Feminized seeds will generate the highest yields. In contrast, using regular seeds is a bit trickier. Because they produce an equal number of female and male plants, you should germinate double the number of seeds. Separate the males as early as possible so that they don’t contaminate the flowers, and secure the pollen sacs for future breeding projects if that’s your plan.
Unlike feminized and regular plants, Autoflowering Blue Dream has a compact size that fits in any available indoor space, but it can also be grown outdoors. Because of its hardy Ruderalis genes, it can tolerate occasional weather changes. Nonetheless, it prefers dry and warm conditions. This version has a brief life span, which means that harvesting the buds is possible just 8 to 10 weeks from the time the seeds are germinated. Each plant can produce 115 up to 170 grams – not a lot, but unlike its photoperiod relatives, you can plant several batches within a season.
Indoors, Auto Blue Dream’s size qualifies it for a hydroponic setup paired with the SOG method. However, since you’ll be growing it in water, the humidity level must be kept between 30 and 50% to prevent mold growth. From seedling to maturity, you don’t have to change the grow light schedule to trigger the flowering stage. The plants will automatically start budding around the eighth week even if you leave the lights on 18 or 20 hours a day. The average yield is 115 up to 170 grams per square meter.
