The long history of Blueberry goes back to the 1970’s when American breeder DJ Short was working with different exotic landrace strains in California and Oregon. This legendary breeder worked together with a number of different seed banks, so genetics were passed around and everybody had a shot to make something out of it. It was at the High Times Cannabis Cup 2000 when Blueberry finally got what it deserves: 1st Prize for BEST INDICA!
Zambeza’s Blueberry is enriched with genetics of Northern Lights, another legendary strain from the West Coast.
Growers can expect plants that stay compact and bushy, with typical indoor heights of 60-90cm. Indoor growers will have the fair chance to achieve yields of 350-400g/m². Outdoor growers will have to find a way to deal with plants that are 170-230cm tall, and yield 400-500g per plant. The flowering time is short, with approximately 60 days.
The effect of Blueberry is a heavy Indica stone that is physically relaxing, meaning that a gentle and pleasant body buzz can be felt after smoking. Zambeza’s Northern Lights XL did a great job in contributing to the potency and aroma. THC levels were tested at 19%. Taste and aromas are predominantly sweet, with noticeable hints of fresh blueberries. This remarkable taste and the unique “Blueberry-high” made this strain an international success and it's still a very popular choice today.
Blueberry became the “gold standard” of North American cannabis strains and is now available as a refined version, with genetics of Zambeza’s Northern Lights. When growers want to cultivate an indica-dominant strain, with sweet blueberry flavours, and a strong physical stone, then its Zambeza’s Blueberry they should go for. It’s one of the most appreciated strains of cannabis history!

Strain FAQ
Why are Blueberry strains conserved?
Original Blueberry strain genetics are a treasure trove of cannabis history and diversity and are only getting more valuable over time. Preserving these genetics ensures its distinct traits for future generations. Blueberry is alive in cannabis culture through devoted preservation, including mother plants and seed banks.
What are the benefits of feminised seeds?
Feminised seeds almost assure full female production, simplifying the growth process. Since male plants aren't removed, this efficiency saves space, water, and waste. A smarter, more sustainable method!
Are shorter cannabis strains more resilient?
Short strains are frequently stronger because of their indica genetics and the harsh environments they evolved in. They endure temperature changes and pests better, making them less laborious.
Does the light spectrum matter when it comes to indoor cannabis?
Indoor lighting customisation is reportedly like a magic wand. It is said that some legal growers adjust illumination to control plant growth and cannabinoid and terpene development. Increasing blue light, they say, could boost the plant's terpene profile and aroma and flavour.
What terpene boosts berry flavour?
Myrcene adds berry-like sweetness and a musky, earthy undertone. Its presence creates rich, multi-layered berry flavours with sweetness and depth that matches genuine fruit scents.
