Blue Gushers strain guide
Blue Gushers is an indica-leaning hybrid from the Gushers family, listed as a cross of Gelato 41 and Triangle Kush. Despite the candy name, people describe a blueberry and nutty, slightly cheesy smell and a calm, happy feel.
Where does Blue Gushers come from?
Blue Gushers is usually given the same parents as Gusher: Gelato 41 crossed with Triangle Kush. One strain database calls it a variation on Gushers, which suggests a blue-leaning selection from that family rather than a brand-new cross.
We couldn't find a breeder who claims it or a clear release date, so its exact history is not well documented. Some buds show a blue tint, which may explain the name.
What does Blue Gushers smell and taste like?
Blueberry and sweet berry lead, with a nutty, cheesy side underneath. One strain database points out that it doesn't really taste like candy, and many people compare its flavour to Blue Cheese more than to fruit snacks. Reviewers call the smoke tasty and smooth.
The terpenes reported most often are caryophyllene, limonene and humulene. Caryophyllene adds pepper, limonene a bit of brightness and humulene an earthy, woody note.
Blue Gushers effects: what people report
People most often describe Blue Gushers as calm and happy, with an uplifted, sometimes creative mood on top of a relaxed body. Some say it's clear enough to get something done, while others call it a couch strain, so it seems to depend on the batch and the amount.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the usual complaints, and one reviewer mentions a bigger appetite.
How strong is Blue Gushers?
Blue Gushers flower is usually high in THC. The flower and pre-roll listings we found show about 24% to 28% THC, with very little CBD. Infused products and vapes show much higher numbers, but those aren't plain flower.
Start small and give it time. The label on your product is the best guide to its strength.
Buying Blue Gushers in Canada
You may see it spelled Blue Gushers or Blue Gusherz. Check the label for THC and CBD, and look at whether a product is plain flower or infused, since infused pre-rolls are far stronger.
Look at the packaging date too, since fresher flower keeps more of that berry smell.
Blue Gushers vs Gusher
Gusher is the family Blue Gushers comes from, and both are listed with Gelato 41 and Triangle Kush as parents. Gusher leans tropical fruit with some gas, while Blue Gushers swaps that for blueberry with a nutty, cheesy edge. Both are relaxed and happy in reports, and Blue Gushers listings tend to show a few more points of THC. If you want tropical sweetness, go with Gusher. If berry and funk sound better, try Blue Gushers.
