Agreed, if you didn't tell someone its blue dream and enjoyed a big joint of it they'd be like awh yeah that shits great.
Too many commercial croppers grew too much bad dream to make the entire western United states sick of blue dream.
My 2 cents. And I had the original Santa Cruz blue dream in the very beginning and grew the shit out of it for many years.
My legend has it that it came from Amsterdam on a plane as a live cut called super silver haze. And that was before I ever heard the name blue dream. I got it from a dweeb in Santa Rosa very early craigslist days, man that was wild, he got it from a friend in cruz...who knows it's not traceable at this point, but it's one of the oldies I was known for in my zone...
Yep, agreed. Notice I also said it was SSH(super silver haze)x Blueberry. Arjan won the first cup with SSH in 1997, I believe. The BD cut only we have from southern Oregon, which came from NorCal, obviously has SSH. SSH is Hall of Famer, and is such an important strain. It's bred into three strains I grow; Blue Dream, Super Lemon Haze, and Silver Pineapple. Unfortunately, Arjan and Green House have gone to feminized only. I'm old school, and I used to fly to Amsterdam to get seeds in the late 90's and early double knots. Still, even a with stabilized strain like SSH you need to pop a bunch to get that really phenomenal keeper. In my mind, BD is a Hall of Famer as well. It may only come in at a true 19%, but not everyone needs the heaviest hitters. Clone to finish it's a strong, consistent grow with loud terps and beautiful, dense buds. It consistently gives us 13 to 14 lbs (no larph) off of 4 DE's in 10 weeks. Second best yielder of our strains. Now, I'm excited. Going to smoke some.
If GPS could get it's hands on a superior SSH to cross with the Stardawg... that could be awesome. Find maybe a 10 week finisher that leaned Haze but added the resin, yield, and a touch gas of the Stardawg... *salivates*. Possible Wild West names... Silver Miner, High Ho Silver or Silver Cloud for those haze effects.
