Blue Magoo strain guide
Blue Magoo is an indica-leaning hybrid of DJ Short Blueberry and William's Wonder, bred in the mid-1990s and passed around as a clone ever since. People know it for a sweet blueberry candy smell and a relaxed, giggly feel.
Where does Blue Magoo come from?
Blue Magoo is a cross of DJ Short's Blueberry and William's Wonder F2, a heavy indica also sold as Major League Bud. Strain databases agree on that pairing and date the cross to the mid-1990s.
It's described as clone-only, which means it spread as cuttings from one kept plant rather than as seeds. The original breeder isn't well documented. It's often confused with Blue Goo, which is a different strain with a similar name.
What does Blue Magoo smell and taste like?
Most people compare the smell to blueberry candy: sweet, fruity berry first, with soft floral notes and an earthy base underneath. Some reviews also mention a tropical or minty touch.
Its published terpene profile is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene. That's the same top three often reported for Blueberry, which fits. Myrcene adds the earthy, musky side, caryophyllene a peppery bite and pinene a hint of fresh pine. The taste stays sweet and berry-forward, with a little pepper on the finish.
The buds are known for purple colouring and deep blue-tinged leaves, a trait passed down from the Blueberry side.
Blue Magoo effects: what people report
People most often call Blue Magoo relaxed, giggly and happy, with a stony feel in both head and body that slowly settles into calm. The munchies come up often too.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and some people mention dizziness or feeling anxious.
How strong is Blue Magoo?
Blue Magoo usually sits in the moderate to high range. Listings put it around 16% to 22% THC with very little CBD, though one grower has reported some phenotypes testing higher.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and wait before having more. Check the THC and CBD on your package, since that number is for the batch in your hand.
Buying Blue Magoo in Canada
Blue Magoo is an older, clone-only strain, so it isn't always easy to find. Make sure the label says Blue Magoo and not Blue Goo or another Blueberry cross, since the names get swapped.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that blueberry candy smell.
Blue Magoo vs Blueberry
Blueberry is Blue Magoo's parent, and the two share a sweet berry smell and a relaxed reputation. Blueberry is the classic: ripe blueberry over earth, often a little calmer and sleepier. Blue Magoo adds more of a candy and floral sweetness and tends to get called giggly as well as relaxed, likely thanks to its William's Wonder side. If you want the original, start with Blueberry. If candy-sweet sounds better, try Blue Magoo.
