Blueberry Shortcake
Also known as: Blueberry Cake
Overview
Blueberry Shortcake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (approximately 60% indica, 40% sativa) that was developed by Cannarado Genetics and first grown at Bula Farms. It involves a three-way cross between Blueberry, Cherry Pie, and Sour Grape, though some sources indicate a fusion of Blueberry and Grape Pie. This dessert strain emerged during the mid-2010s dessert-strain boom, combining classic berry genetics with modern cake lineage to create a unique cultivar. The strain's appearance is distinctive, featuring robust and oblong nuggets with lime and forest-green curled leaves that are hidden by a mass of gold trichome hairs amid a forest of thick, caterpillar-like dark-orange pistils. Odors of sweet berries, citrus fruits, and pine are present in Blueberry Shortcake, while the flavor profile delivers a sweet but tart blueberry flavor that leaves a tartness in the mouth, with spicy-kush aftertaste when combusted.

Growing Information
The flowering period for Blueberry Shortcake plants is roughly 7-9 weeks, though some sources indicate blooms in just 56-63 days. This strain is considered moderately easy to grow and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors. Blueberry Shortcake plants prefer a mildly humid environment with temperatures maintained between 70-85°F (21-29°C). For outdoor cultivation, it usually takes up to two months to grow 10–15 Oz/plant (~ 400 g/plant) outdoor, with the plant itself might reach up to 80 inches. Indoor yields are typically lower but still respectable. The strain responds well to training techniques and benefits from proper nutrition during the flowering phase. Growers should monitor for pests and diseases, particularly during the flowering period.
