Blueberry Strain Feminized SeedsDJ Short's berry-scented indica, grown as all-female seeds
5.00 out of 5 · 7 reviewsThe Blueberry strain is the berry-scented, mostly indica hybrid that DJ Short developed from Thai, Mexican and Afghan genetics in the late 1970s, and Blueberry entries won both the Indica category and the overall prize at the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup. These feminized seeds grow female plants only, so every seedling can go on to make buds. Expect a sweet blueberry nose, buds that often show blue or purple tones, and about 8 to 9 weeks of bloom.

What is the Blueberry strain?
Blueberry is a mostly indica hybrid, roughly 80% indica to 20% sativa, bred in the United States by DJ Short from Thai sativas and an Afghani indica starting in the late 1970s. Dutch Passion brought it to the European seed market in the late 1990s, and in 2000 Blueberry took first place in the Indica category and the overall Cup at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. Most listings put its THC at about 16–24%, and feminized plants flower in roughly 8 to 9 weeks.
Ratio from DJ Short's and Dutch Passion's descriptions; AllBud gives the same 80/20 split.
DJ Short describes buds with red, purple and blue tones that usually end up lavender-blue after drying.
Blueberry strain specs
The Blueberry numbers below combine DJ Short's breeder notes on SeedFinder with Dutch Passion's feminized listing and the Leafly, AllBud and Weedmaps databases.

Where does the Blueberry strain come from?
Blueberry was bred in the United States by DJ Short, who began crossing Thai sativas with an Afghani indica in the late 1970s. His son JD Short told Willamette Week that the starting plants were Thai, Chocolate Thai, Afghan and Oaxacan, and that the Blueberry type showed up around 1979. Unusually for that era, DJ Short pollinated sativa females with indica males, including the Afghan, instead of using Afghan mothers.
Accounts of the exact order of crosses differ. SeedFinder's family tree lists Purple Thai (Highland Oaxacan Gold × Chocolate Thai) and a Thai × Afghani line, while Weedmaps describes Highland Thai crossed with Flo, itself Purple Thai × Afghani. The overall recipe is agreed: a dominant Afghani share plus Thai and Mexican sativa, which gives Blueberry its compact, mostly indica build and its fruit-forward smell.
Did Blueberry win the Cannabis Cup?
Yes. At the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, Blueberry won first place in the Indica category for Dutch Passion and first place for Best Cannabis for the Noon. SeedFinder's award list adds a second place for the Noon's Blueberry and a third place for Dutch Passion's indica entry at the 2001 Cup.
Feminized Blueberry came later than the strain itself. According to SeedFinder, DJ Short never sold his own Blueberry as feminized seeds. Feminized versions, such as Dutch Passion's, were made by seed companies working with the Blueberry line, so plants can differ a little between seed sources.
How does Blueberry smell, taste and feel?
Aroma and flavor
Blueberry smells and tastes like ripe blueberries with a sugary, vanilla-tinged sweetness, backed by earthy and woody notes; some growers of Dutch Passion's version on SeedFinder also pick up mint or grapefruit.
- Blueberry
- Sweet berry
- Vanilla
- Earthy
- Woody
- Grape
Terpenes
- Myrcene
- Musky, ripe-fruit base; Leafly lists it first
- Caryophyllene
- Peppery, woody warmth
- Pinene
- A fresh pine lift on the finish
Leafly's lab data ranks these three in this order for Blueberry; individual feminized plants can shift the balance.
Reported effects
Blueberry is usually reported as a relaxing, happy strain, with a gentle euphoric lift that turns sleepy later in the session. Leafly's reviewers rate it mostly calming, and DJ Short describes the high as pleasantly euphoric and long lasting.
- Relaxed
- Happy
- Euphoric
- Sleepy
- Calm
The downsides Blueberry users mention most are dry mouth and dry eyes, sometimes dizziness, and strong drowsiness at higher doses.
Blueberry effect reports here are drawn from Leafly, AllBud and Weedmaps users and from DJ Short's own description. Reactions vary from person to person; nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Blueberry seeds?
Blueberry feminized seeds grow into stout, easy-to-manage female plants: give them 4 to 6 weeks of vegetative growth, top or bend the branches to fill your space, put the lights on 12/12, and allow 8 to 9 weeks for the buds to finish, with slightly cooler nights near the end if you want color.
- Germinate3–7 days
Every Blueberry seed in a feminized pack should grow female, so you only need to sprout as many seeds as plants you plan to flower.
- Vegetate4–6 weeks indoors
Top Blueberry once and spread the side branches. Most plants stay fairly compact, but taller phenotypes can stretch.
- Flower8–9 weeks
Once the lights are on 12/12, feed moderately rather than hard; Weedmaps notes that Blueberry does not like heavy feeding.
- HarvestDay 56–63 indoors · mid–late Oct outdoors
Harvest when most trichomes look cloudy. Drying slowly and jar curing for a few weeks help Blueberry keep its berry aroma.
Grow tips for Blueberry
- Go easy on nutrients. Blueberry is sensitive to heavy feeding, so start bloom nutrients at about half strength and raise them slowly while watching the leaf tips.
- Use cool nights for color. A modest night-time temperature drop in the last weeks helps bring out Blueberry's blue and purple tones, though color is also down to genetics.
- Even out mixed phenotypes. Feminized Blueberry plants range from short, bushy indica types to taller ones; a SCROG net keeps the tops at one height under the light.
- Keep air moving. Blueberry's dense, chunky buds can hold moisture, so space the plants and run fans through the final weeks of bloom.
- Finish outdoors before the rain. Outdoor Blueberry ripens in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere, so pick a spot with a dry autumn or use a greenhouse.
Is Blueberry the right strain for you?
Great pick if you
- Want a sweet, fruity indica with real cannabis history behind it
- Prefer a calm, happy evening high
- Grow in a tent and want a mostly compact plant
- Like colorful buds that can turn blue or purple
- Want female plants only, with no sexing
Think twice if you
- Want a racy, energetic daytime sativa
- Need an outdoor harvest well before October
- Like to feed heavily and push plants hard
- Want to breed your own seeds (regular Blueberry seeds suit that better)
Blueberry strain FAQ
Is Blueberry indica or sativa?
Blueberry leans indica: DJ Short, Dutch Passion and AllBud all put it near 80% indica and 20% sativa. Its indica side comes from an Afghani, while Thai and Mexican sativas add the fruity smell and some upbeat effects.
Who created the Blueberry strain?
DJ Short, an American breeder, created Blueberry from Thai, Chocolate Thai, Oaxacan and Afghan plants starting in the late 1970s. His son JD Short has said the Blueberry type first appeared around 1979. Dutch Passion later brought Blueberry to the European seed market.
How long does feminized Blueberry take to flower?
Feminized Blueberry needs roughly 8 to 9 weeks of bloom once you set a 12/12 light schedule. Dutch Passion lists around 9 weeks, and some growers on SeedFinder finish in 52 to 63 days. Outdoors it is usually ready in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere.
How much THC does Blueberry have?
Blueberry usually tests around 16–24% THC with little CBD. Leafly lists about 17%, SeedFinder about 19.5%, and Dutch Passion says it can pass 20% in good conditions. Potency varies with phenotype, growing conditions and harvest timing.
Why does Blueberry turn blue or purple?
Blueberry carries purple-leaning genetics from its Purple Thai ancestry, so many plants show red, purple or blue hues as they ripen. Cooler nights late in flower can deepen the color, but some Blueberry phenotypes stay mostly green.
Did Blueberry win a Cannabis Cup?
Yes. In 2000, Blueberry took first place in the Indica category at the High Times Cannabis Cup for Dutch Passion and first place for Best Cannabis for the Noon. Blueberry entries placed again at the 2001 Cup.
What does Blueberry taste like?
Blueberry tastes of sweet, ripe blueberries with vanilla and a light earthy, woody finish. Myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene are its main terpenes in Leafly's lab data.
How much does feminized Blueberry yield?
Dutch Passion puts its feminized Blueberry at about 350–450 g/m² (1.1–1.5 oz/ft²) indoors, a medium-to-large harvest. Outdoor yields depend on plant size and the length of your season, and SeedFinder growers rate outdoor yields highly.
Is Blueberry the same as Blue Dream?
No. Blue Dream is a separate, sativa-dominant strain made by crossing Blueberry with Haze. Blueberry is its berry-scented parent: mostly indica, more compact and quicker to flower at about 8 to 9 weeks.
