Why grow Blueberry Cookies?

Blueberry Cookies joined Dinafem Seeds' catalogue in early 2019. She was born from the cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Blueberry with the aim of adding sweeter and more fruity aromas to Cookies' traditional Kush smell. An Indica-dominant hybrid with a beautiful array of colours that you can enjoy at first sight. This feminised marijuana plant is gorgeous, and her chromatic richness takes centre stage during the last few weeks of flowering. Her aroma is also a striking, easily recognisable feature.

Blueberry Cookies' aroma and colours are probably the reasons for her success. A genetic that has been available for only a few months but yet has been chosen by many growers, according to your social media grow journals. An outstanding trait of this plant is the super fruity and floral aroma that she releases during flowering.

According to the technical team at the Dinafem Seeds' lab, you can tell that her aroma is truly special… But it is really when you analyse her terpenes that you can appreciate her true uniqueness. Her terpene profile, resulting from gas chromatograph analysis, has pleasantly surprised our technicians, who greatly value her high cannabinoid levels. Let's review Blueberry Cookies' main characteristics with them.

High cannabinoid concentration

The results of the cannabinoid analysis carried out at the Dinafem Seeds' laboratory show that her THC levels are outstandingly high. Blueberry Cookies can produce tetrahydrocannabinol levels of almost 24%; a significant result that guarantees this genetic's potency. This is a trait inherited from Girl Scout Cookies: "While she reminds us of Blueberry in her looks and smell, when we smoke her she's more reminiscent of Girl Scout Cookies. Her effect is distinctive of those new, very potent North American strains", states our technician Pierre Antoine Aulas.

As we can see in the adjacent table, which shows the results of liquid chromatograph analysis, Blueberry Cookies produces up to 25% cannabinoids, from which 23% is THC. This potency inherited from the Cookies family is what Mr Aulas was referring to when he spoke about Blueberry Cookies' effect.

Mr Aulas insists that the success of Blueberry Cookies derives from having crossed "a relatively new, trendy strain like Girl Scout Cookies, with a classic like Blueberry. The breeding between them has resulted in something exceptionally original."

Unique and complex terpene profile

Blueberry Cookies is a cannabis strain with an unusual terpene profile. As can be seen in most Dinafem Seeds' technical data sheets, there are normally two dominant terpenes in the aroma of most genetics, which appear in higher levels and thereby shape their fragrance. In addition, there are around ten other minor terpenes that appear in lower, decreasing concentrations, and provide lighter hues.

But this does not occur with Blueberry Cookies. Unlike other strains, she is composed of four main and six minor terpenes, present in very similar concentrations, which equally shape her aroma. It is difficult to find genetics with such a balanced terpene profile. And that's where Blueberry Cookies' unprecedented aroma comes from.

Limonene, beta-caryophyllene, beta-myrcene, and trans-nerolidol are the four main terpenes found in Blueberry Cookies. They all appear in large and very similar concentrations. On the other hand, alpha- and beta-pinene, eudesma-3,7 (11)-diene, linalool, alpha-humulene and aromadendrene appear in lower but also very similar concentrations. "The result is a very complex, balanced aroma, provided equally by several terpenes rather than only one", says our lab technician Oier Aizpurua. Limonene and linalool bestow her fruity and floral notes. And we also find a rare terpene: trans-nerolidol. The combination of all of them is what confers unique richness to this strain.
