We love trying new strains, and we’re sure you do, too. Once you start exploring the complexity and excitement of cannabis strains, you’ll realize that despite there being thousands to choose from, no two strains are the same – and some are in a league of their own.
Today, we’ll be exploring the iconic Blueberry Cookies strain. Thanks to its hybrid heritage and flavorsome family members, Blueberry Cookies has its own unique aroma and flavor profile and offers its users a punchy, full-body high that’s the perfect blend of energetic and calming.
Ready to learn more?
Let’s take a deep dive into everything you need to know about Blueberry Cookies.
What Is Blueberry Cookies?
Blueberry cookies is a calming, mid-strength THC strain that can help deal with pain, stress, and anxiety.
Boasting 70% Indica and 30% Sativa, Blueberry Cookies strikes up a fine balance between feeling calm and energized, but because it’s Indica-dominant, you can expect more of a floaty, relaxed edge to your high.
Blueberry Cookies comes from a pretty large family of cookie strains, but it’s the weed child of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Blueberry Tahoe.
This is a pretty unique pairing, which puts Blueberry Cookies in a league of its own, and makes it one of the most distinctive strains out there.
Meet The Parents
To understand the effects of Blueberry Cookies, it’s important to understand its origins. Let’s take a look at the parents of Blueberry Cookies, their dominant features, and how these have shaped the strain as we know it today.
Blueberry Tahoe
Blueberry Tahoe, sometimes called Blueberry Tahoe OG, is a cross between Blueberry and Tahoe OG Kush. As you’d expect from the name, blueberry is the dominant flavor of this strain, but it also bursts some bold, earthy accents from its Kush genetics.
Other aromas are sweet, fresh, and earthy, and its nugs boast purple and blue undertones, amber hairs, and a generous frosting of crystal blue trichomes.
Blueberry Tahoe is an evenly balanced strain – this hybrid is a precise 50/50 split between Indica and Sativa giving you a pretty tasty bud, with an incredible high.
Because it’s an even hybrid, you can expect a high filled with spacey, energetic lifts and a residual body buzz that leaves you feeling calm, collected, and ready to snooze.
This incredible combination of effects makes Blueberry Tahoe a popular choice for users dealing with chronic pain, depression, and muscle pain.
If you use cannabis for creative inspiration, you’ll also find it in abundance in this strain. Blueberry Tahoe is initially uplifting and provides a nice mental and physical buzz that can help get those creative juices flowing!
Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies
Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies is a lesser-known hybrid that’s once again the perfect 50/50 blend of Indica and Sativa, and it’s usually a cross between OG Kush and Durban Poison.
This gives Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies a high THC content, and a distinctively spicy flavor, with fruity, herbal, minty and sweet undertones.
Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies offer its users a full-body effect with high-psychoactivity; so, if you’re an inexperienced user (or intense mental highs aren’t for you), you should use this strain with caution: Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies is NOT for novice users!
This strain will leave you feeling uplifted, positive, and physically relaxed. This makes it a popular choice for users suffering from muscle inflammation, loss of appetite, physical pain, insomnia, nausea, and swelling.
Blueberry Cookies: Strain Effects
Blueberry Cookies is the child of some pretty potent parents. Each of its parents is an infamous hybrid with some powerful mental and physical effects (see also “Hybrid Strains: A Comprehensive Breakdown“), so it’ll come as no surprise to learn that Blueberry Cookies packs its own unique, powerful punch, too.
The effects of this powerful Indica hybrid will hit you almost immediately. The influence of its ancestors is apparent on those first few tokes, and you’ll feel the initial high straight in your body.
Blueberry Cookies has been likened to a gradual anesthetic – so, if you’re experiencing any physical pain or discomfort, you can rely on this strain to start evening it out on the first few tokes.
Once you start smoking more and relax into your high, these physical effects become more prominent, and the mental effects become more noticeable, too.
As your muscles relax, you might start to feel slightly sedated – however, as this Indica hybrid starts to affect the mind, you’ll feel a little more alert, positive, intuitive, and creative.
Although this hybrid is Indica dominant, it has just enough Sativa to set your mind racing (usually in a good way), so you’ll really get the best of both worlds with this strain.
The mental effects of Blueberry Cookies usually aren’t too intense, but users with anxiety or paranoia may find the first few minutes quite intense.
However, for more users, these mental effects feel subtle – like a calming driving force of energy that’ll keep you feeling motivated, upbeat, and free from your worries.
Blueberry Cookies: Aroma
Although most strains have a distinctively earthy undertone, no two strains smell the same. When you really absorb their aroma, you’ll notice subtle hints of other aroma profiles, and the same goes for Blueberry Cookies.
Its earthy undertones are noticeable straight off the bat, but what you’ll also notice is its overtly sweet, blueberry overtones. It wouldn’t be a blueberry strain if it didn’t smell like the real deal!
However, you’ll usually notice that its blueberry aroma is intercepted with more complex aromas of mint, and even nuts – this will give your blueberry strain a distinctive aroma with a surprisingly even blend of candy-like sweetness and earthiness, too.
In our honest opinion, the aroma of Blueberry Cookies is unmatched, and few strains have surprised us as much as this one!
What Does Blueberry Cookies Taste Like?
So, we already know that Blueberry Cookies has a pretty unique aroma, but how does this translate to its flavor profile? Is it just as exciting and complex, or is all its complexity reserved to its aroma alone?
As soon as you light up your Blueberry Cookies, you’ll know exactly what you’re smoking. Unsurprisingly, Blueberry is the dominant flavor in this strain, but it’s not overwhelming. Instead, its sweet shop-Esque flavor will be intercepted with earthy undertones.
Interestingly, you may also detect flavors of cashews and almonds, and when you taste these, you’ll notice that its aroma is overwhelmingly similar to its flavor.
After a few hits of Blueberry Cookies, you’ll probably find that its flavor will linger at the back of your throat. However, there’s one distinctive flavor that lingers longer than the others – mint.
These minty notes won’t overwhelm your palette, but they’ll definitely stick around for longer than the blueberry, leaving you with a refreshing, herbaceous flavor that feels rejuvenating and pretty damn tasty.
Although you’ll definitely taste the influence of Blueberry Cookies parents, you’ll notice how these come together to create its own distinctive flavor that no other strain can match. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime taste experience!
How Easy Is Blueberry Cookies To Grow?
Both experienced and novice growers may want to try their hand at growing Blueberry Cookies. Although it requires a lot of care and attention, Blueberry Cookies is a pretty simple (and rewarding!) strain to grow yourself.
Blueberry Cookies is a particularly good strain to grow outside, too – you just need to keep an eye on its moisture content.
Unfortunately, Blueberry Cookies (like many other strains), can be at risk of powder mold. Powder mold can occur when there’s too much moisture in the air, so if you’re growing your strain in a particularly humid climate, you’ll need to be extra careful.
Blueberry Cookies is a particularly bushy strain, so if it’s grown correctly, it can produce a pretty generous yield. You’ll just need to pay attention to its growth and keep snipping the top of the plant growth.
Accurate pruning is essential for producing the largest harvest possible.
After harvesting, Blueberry Cookies will need to be placed in direct sunlight, or a dehydrator, immediately.
Like other strains, Blueberry Cookies can start to rot if it’s not dried out quickly, and you may end up losing some of its most distinctive colors, flavors, and aromas. The correct drying technique is essential to producing a tasty harvest!
Final Thoughts
Since it first emerged, Blueberry Cookies has earned itself a stellar reputation in the cannabis community. This unique strain is tasty, full of unique aromas, easy to grow, and produces generous yields.
If you’re after a high that provides an extensive mind and body experience, Blueberry Cookies is one strain you won’t be able to get enough of!
If you’re attempting to grow Blueberry Cookies yourself, just remember to pay extra care and attention to pruning and drying.
Although it’s easy to grow, Blueberry Cookies can be pretty temperamental post-harvest, and inadequate techniques can damage its flavors and aromas.
