Berkley Blues is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Stoney Girl Gardens, featuring an 80% sativa and 20% indica genetic composition. The strain is a cross between Berkeley (a South African sativa landrace) and DJ Short's traditional Blueberry from the 1990s. According to legend, the Berkeley parent strain originated from a science project at Berkeley University conducted by an individual with cancer. Berkley Blues was featured in Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Growers Handbook 2010 and Skunk Magazine 2011, gaining recognition for its exceptional quality and medical applications.

The plant develops into a tall bush with a thick canopy and fewer leaves than typical cannabis plants, making it both visually striking and agriculturally efficient. Known for its traditional blueberry flavor that closely resembles fresh blueberry muffins straight from the oven, this strain has become a favorite among medical patients for its potent therapeutic effects and reliable growing characteristics.
