DJ Short Blueberry strain guide
DJ Short Blueberry is the name for the original Blueberry line bred by DJ Short in Oregon. It's an indica-leaning strain known for a berry, earthy smell and a heavy, long-lasting body feel, and it sits behind many of the berry strains that followed.
Where does DJ Short Blueberry come from?
DJ Short bred it, and his son JD Short has said the starting plants were Thai, Chocolate Thai, Afghan and Oaxacan, with the Blueberry plant appearing around 1979. Other listings call it a cross of Afghani and Purple Thai, so the exact pedigree is told in different ways and we haven't set one for this page.
The "DJ Short" in the name points to his own line. The plain Blueberry name has been grown from many seed lines over the decades, so a product with only that name may be a different cut. Many later strains, including Blue Dream, trace back to this plant.
What does DJ Short Blueberry smell and taste like?
JD Short describes a floral, berry, earthy and hash-like smell, and the plant is known for purple colouring. One lab-tested review mentions an earthy smell with a clear blueberry note and a smooth smoke.
None of the sources we checked publish a terpene profile for DJ Short Blueberry, so we can't say which terpenes usually lead. If your product lists terpenes on the label, that's the best guide for your batch.
DJ Short Blueberry effects: what people report
Reports are thin. The one detailed review we found describes an intense, unusual body feel that lasts longer than average, and the reviewer enjoyed it in the evening but not when they needed to stay active.
That's one person's experience, not a promise. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is DJ Short Blueberry?
Listings put it at about 18% to 20% THC, including one lab result of 20% THC with no CBD. That's moderate by today's standards.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The numbers on your label matter more than the strain name. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to look for.
Buying DJ Short Blueberry in Canada
Because many Blueberry cuts exist, look for DJ Short in the name or the producer's notes, and treat a plain "Blueberry" label as a possible different plant.
You might find it as dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its berry smell.
DJ Short Blueberry vs Blueberry
Blueberry is the common listing name for the strain, and many growers sell their own cuts under it. DJ Short Blueberry names the breeder's own line, which is why the two can differ from one product to the next. Both are described as indica-leaning with a berry smell. If you want the original line, look for DJ Short in the name. If you just want the familiar blueberry smell, plain Blueberry is easier to find.
