What is the Alpha Blue strain?
Alpha Blue is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and berry and blueberry flavor profile.
Alpha Blue, also known as Dream Diesel or DD, is a sativa-dominant hybrid descended from Blue Dream and NYC Diesel. This award-winning strain gained recognition in 2011 when it claimed two second-place prizes for Best Sativa at the High Times Medical Cannabis Cups in Denver and San Francisco. The strain combines the energizing, creative effects of NYC Diesel with the calming, euphoric qualities of Blue Dream, creating a balanced experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
Alpha Blue features medium to large flowers that taper into triangular, spade-like shapes with a distinctive appearance that looks more like flowers than dense buds. The buds display vibrant spring green leaves with red and orange pistils threaded throughout, often taking on hues of deep red and violet, and are glazed with sugary trichomes. The aroma is a pleasant combination of tart blueberry and sour candy that creates a pungent mixture of earthy berry notes, with sweet, candy-like aromas offset by strong earthy odors and diesel undertones.
