What is the Blue Dot strain?
Blue Dot is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Blue Dot, also known as MGB (Medical Grade Bud), is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that originated from California's medical cannabis scene. The strain has a complex and disputed history, with multiple origin stories from different breeders. One account traces it to a medical patient in Sonoma County who bred it as a therapeutic strain, originally distributing it through dispensaries like The Pharmacy Club. Another version claims it was created in Humboldt County by crossing Blueberry Indica with Train Wreck over three consecutive years, with the name derived from blue Sharpie pen markings used to label bags. The modern iteration is commonly described as a harmonious cross of Northern Lights, Haze, and Leda Uno, though some sources suggest it's a four-way cross between White Widow, Skunk, Big Bud, and Northern Lights #5. The strain typically displays an 80% sativa/20% indica composition and has become a staple at California medical dispensaries. Blue Dot showcases dense, resinous buds with vibrant green hues accented by subtle blue undertones that give the strain its name, complemented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes.
