What is Blue Dream?
via Cannashops.com:
Cannabis is traditionally divided into two broad categories - indica and sativa. Cannabis indica tends to produce a heavier sedative effective, while Cannabis sativa is usually associated with more cerebral and energetic effects. Most of the medicine cultivated today in California is a hybrid of both indica and sativa.
Blue Dream (Blueberry x Haze) is a good example of a strain that has been selectively bred by patients and caregivers to make the most of traits from both the indica and sativa varieties. Patients report that, like most indicas, it is an effective treatment for pain. But because of its high sativa component, Blue Dream does not have the sedative effects associated with a pure indica. This can be very useful for patients who need pain relief during the day. Patients tell us that Blue Dream has a long lasting and consistent effect, and a pleasant taste.
You can read more about the various strains of medical cannabis in several books on sale in the front room at LAPCG, or find a wealth of information by searching online. Remember, however, that evaluations of medical cannabis strains are often subjective. Please remember to share your experiences with various strains with the staff and other members at LAPCG. This "institutional knowledge" is one of the many advantages of visiting a long-established collective with an experienced staff.

Breeders Description
Blue Dream (Blueberry x Haze) was bred by patients for medical effects using the body high of and indica and the cerebral effects from the sativa. It’s highly effective for pain without the sedative effects of a pure indica. Patients needing effective pain relief during the day will find the effects are long lasting and will find it has a pleasant taste.
Yield
You can go straight from clone on this strain and easily pull 600 grams from a 1000 watt. Expect plants with no veg to reach a height of 3 feet in 3 gallon buckets (soil). Vegging plants for 2 weeks will pull around 900 grams per light if the plants are properly trained and a bigger 5 gallon pot is used. You can expect higher yield in hydro, and outdoors you can pull 7 pounds from one well cared for plant. She grows vigorously and is easy to grow. Perfect commercial yield and connoisseur taste. Buds look ready at 60 days. Allowing them to go 70 days will improve the quality though. Buds turn light blue late in flowering if the tempature dips.
Structure
Plants show extremely thin leaves and tend to look almost 100% sativa. A 300% stretch the first weeks of bloom tends to favor one large Kola. LST training is recommended. Buds tend to foxtail later in flower.
Buds
Very tastey, creamy with berry and fruit tastes. Somewhat spicy as well. Great taste. Often listed as Indica in cali coops. I’ve found it to be a ripping sativa with some body high. Some of the best buds come from Santa Cruz and the organic variety from Santa Cruz Patient Collective.
