Blue Cherries strain guide
Blue Cherries is an evenly balanced hybrid of Blue Dream and Cherry Pie. The name tells you the smell: sweet blueberry and cherry with a little earth underneath. People most often describe it as energetic, creative and talkative.
Where does Blue Cherries come from?
Two strain databases agree that Blue Cherries is a cross of Blue Dream and Cherry Pie, and both call it a 50/50 hybrid. Neither names a breeder, and we couldn't find one documented anywhere reliable.
Other breeders have used the Blue Cherries name in their own crosses, so not every product with this name will share the same genetics.
What does Blue Cherries smell and taste like?
Expect fruit first. One strain database's top flavours are blueberry and berry, and reviewers describe a sweet cherry note with an earthy base. Some also mention a sharp, ammonia-like edge, which is common in strains with a bit of funk in them.
One strain database lists caryophyllene, limonene and linalool as its main terpenes, though the same page names myrcene as dominant in its description, so the terpene picture isn't fully settled. Your product's label is the best guide for your batch.
Blue Cherries effects: what people report
People most often describe Blue Cherries as energetic, creative and talkative, with a happy, euphoric lift. Some reviewers say it settles into something more relaxed, and a few mention it getting sleepy later on.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints, and some people mention feeling paranoid or getting a headache.
How strong is Blue Cherries?
Blue Cherries is usually listed as a high-THC strain. One strain database puts it at 24%, another database lists 24% to 25% while also mentioning averages around 21% to 22%, and CBD is low.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and wait before having more. The numbers on your label matter more than the strain name.
Buying Blue Cherries in Canada
Check the label for the producer and any lineage notes, since the name has been used for more than one cross. Don't mix it up with similar-sounding names like Blue Cherry, which may be a different plant.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date. Fruity strains lose some of their smell as flower ages.
Blue Cherries vs Cherry Pie
Cherry Pie is one of Blue Cherries' parents. Cherry Pie is known for a sweet, tart cherry smell and is often described as relaxed and happy, leaning a little toward the body. Blue Cherries adds Blue Dream's blueberry sweetness and, in most reports, a more energetic, talkative feel. If you want cherry and calm, try Cherry Pie. If you want berry on top and a livelier mood, Blue Cherries fits better.
