Original Blueberry
Also known as: DJ Short's Blueberry, Blueberry
Original Blueberry Strain Overview
Original Blueberry is a classic cannabis strain developed in the late 1970s by breeder DJ Short. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential indica strains in cannabis history, having won numerous awards including the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2000. The strain was created through selective breeding of landrace genetics, primarily focusing on developing its distinctive berry aroma and flavor profile that has become its signature characteristic.
Visually, Original Blueberry plants are known for their vibrant coloration, often displaying deep purple and blue hues in the buds and leaves, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The strain's genetics have been used extensively in breeding programs worldwide, contributing to countless hybrid varieties that carry its desirable traits.
Original Blueberry is particularly noted for its consistency and stability as a true breeding strain, maintaining its characteristic effects and flavor profile across generations. Its legacy extends beyond recreational use, as it has been valued by medical cannabis patients for decades. The strain's balanced effects and predictable growth patterns have made it a favorite among both consumers and cultivators, securing its place as a cornerstone of modern cannabis genetics.

Original Blueberry Strain Growing Information
Original Blueberry is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. The plants tend to be medium in height, typically reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Yield is moderate, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors.
This strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Original Blueberry is sensitive to overfeeding and requires careful nutrient management. The plants benefit from techniques like low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure to lower branches. Growers should monitor humidity levels closely during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in high humidity conditions. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and produces its best coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
