Blue Dream Autoflowering Origins


The Blue Dream Autoflower is a cross between the hardy ruderalis and the Sativa-dominant hybrid, Blue Dream. Its Blue dream parent is 80% Sativa but known for its relaxing vibes.


Blue Dream is a popular therapeutic strain that many call the perfect California (for both growing and effects) strain. It is derived from the Blueberry and Super Silver Haze strains.



Blue Dream Auto's other parent, ruderalis, grows wild throughout Central Asia and Russia. It is prized for its auto-flowering abilities. Although not consumed as marijuana, this Cannabis is often bred with other species to create strains that are easy to grow year-round.


A similar Blue Dream hybrid, Blue Dream'matic, exists, but it is not the same. While both share the Blue Dream parent, Blue Dream Matic gets its auto-flowering capabilities from a ruderalis grandparent.


Our Blue Dream Auto has more ruderalis genetics because it is a direct cross of Blue Dream and ruderalis. This leads to a different experience before and after harvest. Blue Dream Auto delivers a happy, calm head buzz, whereas its Dream'matic counterpart adds a body high and relaxation that may not be ideal for daytime use.



What Are Blue Dream Autoflowers


Traditionally, Cannabis growers choose between Indica and Sativa. Both are annual plants that start growing in the spring and can be harvested in the fall. When growing Cannabis indoors, growers can control the light cycles to mimic outdoor crops' natural light rhythm.


In the 1980s, marijuana growers discovered a new species closely related to Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa. It was known as Cannabis ruderalis. Unlike its relatives, ruderalis could flower in a few weeks and be harvested several times in a season.



Genes from ruderalis mixed with Sativa and Indica strains gave birth to a new subspecies of auto-flowering types. Autoflowering strains are widely available, and many, such as Auto Blue Dream are easy to grow.


They are smaller than conventional Cannabis plants and can be harvested much more quickly and more often. Their compact size makes Blue Dream auto-flowering plants ideal for balcony- and indoor growers and perfect for the urban gardener.
