Double Dream
Double Dream
Overview
Double Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing Blue Dream and Dream Star. This genetic combination results in a strain with approximately 90% sativa and 10% indica genetics. The strain began appearing in California dispensaries around 2015, where it quickly built its own reputation thanks to consistent, enjoyable effects. The buds are light green in color and covered in bright orange pistils, with a silvery coating of trichomes that makes them very sticky and difficult to break apart without a grinder. The leaves are characteristically wispy, displaying typical sativa traits.
Double Dream has gained recognition for its complex flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain features a beautiful blend of sweet floral notes and spice, with prominent blueberry flavors inherited from its Blue Dream parent. The Blue Dream lineage contributes trademark balance of mental stimulation and berry-like sweetness, while Dream Star adds depth and complexity that set Double Dream apart from its famous parent. The result is a hybrid that offers the clarity and focus of a true sativa with the calming body comfort of an indica influence. Its genetic roots stretch back to celebrated strains like Haze and Blueberry, creating a strain valued for both recreational and medicinal use.

Growing Information
The strain is relatively easy to grow, but finding Double Dream seeds may be challenging as this strain is elusive. Most growers cultivate this from cuttings, and it is a vigorous grower that needs attention, especially when it comes to trimming. Double Dream has a flowering period of 56-63 days (7-8 weeks) when grown indoors. Outdoor growers who plant their seeds in May or June can expect to harvest by late September to early October. Indoor yields are around 750 grams per square meter, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 850 grams per plant. The strain is relatively difficult to grow due to its sativa lineage, producing tall plants that require support and occasional trimming. Heavy trimming is beneficial to open up the center of the plant for good air circulation. Double Dream buds can get quite large and heavy, which requires trellis support. If growing outdoors, this variety prefers a warm Mediterranean climate and can grow quite tall, reaching between 60-80 inches indoors and out. The strain can be pungent as it grows, so those trying to keep operations discreet should invest in odor-control measures like exhaust fans or carbon air filters.
