DJ Short Blueberry Strain: Legendary Genetics & Fruity Flavors
A cultivar bred by the “Wizard of Weed” himself, the DJ Short Blueberry strain has achieved legendary status on the West Coast for its incredible berry flavor and classically indica effects. These characteristics of the indica-leaning hybrid were the reason behind its first place title in the indica category at the 2000 Cannabis Cup. While DJ Short Blueberry's genetics remain ambiguous, its presence has been felt in the cannabis industry since the ’70s.
The strain is a favorite at our Shoreline dispensary, so we make sure to keep it on the menu when we can. Continue reading to learn more about this beloved strain.
DJ Short Blueberry Strain
The DJ Short Blueberry strain produces dense nugs with red, purple, and lavender hues. In its plant form, the strain is known as a “stretch” indica due to its long branches. The bud has a sticky texture due to the heavy layer of trichomes and resin that covers it.
Another notable feature of DJ Short Blueberry is its pungent aroma. Users will be able to detect a blueberry aroma similar to a fresh-baked pie. The smell is accented by an earthy undertone. The sweet and tart aroma also transfers through to the strain’s flavor.
The indica strain contains myrcene, one of the most abundant terpenes found in cannabis. Myrcene gives off an earthy, musky aroma similar to the smell of cloves. Strains with myrcene tend to have indica-dominant effects, which comes as no surprise for the DJ Short Blueberry strain. Legendary strains like Grape Ape, Granddaddy Purple, OG Kush, and Blue Dream also contain high contents of myrcene. The presence of myrcene is one reason for the strain’s popularity among medical cannabis users. The terpene contains anti-inflammatory properties, pain relief, and a sedative effect on the system.
DJ Short Blueberry Experience
The indica strain contains, on average, around 22% THC. This may result in a fairly sedative experience. Users may potentially feel an onset of full-body relaxation followed by euphoric cerebral effects. One Leafly user described their experience by saying, “After 10 minutes [of] complete bliss, no tension in my muscles, bone pain not felt, and then you peacefully drift to sleep. Best sleep I've had in months! It's such a sweet, mellow, tingly high while calming my brain to calm down and sleep. What anxiety?”.
On the inhale of the DJ Short Blueberry strain, users will be able to detect the blueberry flavor that it is known for. The exhale leaves behind the taste of sweet earth with a hint of pine.
The DJ Short Blueberry strain may be a great option for both recreational users as well as medicinal users. The strain’s effects may make it an ideal choice for people struggling with depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
