If you are not from/have links from the midlands upwards in the UK then you've probably never had blues...

So what do you think milehigh?


Personally I think it's a bit silly naming it blues if it is not crossed with blueberry. Unless it had that blue tinge to the leaf. Does it do that?

Still growing it out so can't say much yet. I also have Blue Dream in my garden. It is a very unique Sativa leaning big producing super plant. I have a sneaking suspicion it may be the same plant. Blue Dream hails from Nor Cal and is cutting only as well. No one has been able to isolate the unique terpenes through breeding thus far.

Dude Blue Dream and Sheffield Blueberry or Blues share NO similarities. Blue Dream is like a tangy haze and Blues is like cheese. Or cheese is like Blues to be more precise.

Shortlisted for most boring and repetitive thread of the year award. It's like it starts all over again every time someone new joins.

So as I've just joined in, hit me baby, one more time...what's the difference between one weed that somebody gave an arbitrary name to and another weed that someone else gave a similar sounding but also arbitrary name to? Which one is the one with the real arbitrary made up name and which one is just has a fake arbitrary made up name? :wink:

Apologies in advance. Stuck on a train between Cynical Central and Sarcasm Junction North today...

Of the Blue Dream. Many have tried to make seeds but with little to no success in preserving the characteristics of the mom. I only received the "UK Blue" recently and have not reached any conclusions at all. It did come from a Cheese guy though. Didn't come to argue, just share my experience. I have several nice strains from the UK and am happy to have something different then what is in most other gardens here.

Ahhhh, Blue Dream. I got a nug of this not long ago and found it to be my Desert Island Weed.

I'm a sucker for the blue strains. One of my go to strains was DNA Blueberry Haze from Green Place but it is no longer available.

Stella Blue was great but no longer exists AFAIK.

Cool thanks. I not here to argue either, just like strain history. :mrgreen:

I already know there will be a movie one day about skunk. :mrgreen:

Off to research Blue dream then.

P.S. Mile high have you got any Aussie strains like Ducksfoot, ABC or Australian Purple?

Be grateful I didnt start another thread asking the same about Psychosis, we would have got a million variants of the above posts. I personally think its worth the repetition to get to the bottom of these things... :lol:
