Berry White

Berry White

Berry Blue, an indica-dominant hybrid, alternatively known as Blue Berry and White Venom, boasts a genetic makeup of 75% indica and 25% sativa. Its delightful flavor profile melds sweet blueberries with hints of pine, delivering a classic combination. With THC levels ranging from 16% to 22%, Berry Blue is renowned for its soothing effects, making it a go-to choice for managing insomnia, chronic pain, and inflammation.

The strain draws its punny name from the iconic American singer-songwriter Barry White, celebrated for his smooth, deep voice. Much like the legendary singer's calming vocals, Berry Blue is recognized for inducing relaxation.

Originating from a fortuitous crossbreeding, Berry Blue is a hybrid offspring of the indica-dominant Blueberry and the renowned hybrid White Widow. White Widow, developed by Green House Seeds in the Netherlands, clinched the Cannabis Cup in 1995. The Blueberry strain, created in the 1970s, adds to Berry Blue's allure.

Interestingly, Berry Blue's creation was serendipitous, emerging unintentionally during breeding efforts at Green Beadz Seedz in Colorado. Initially conceived as an intermediary strain, Berry Blue gained unexpected popularity due to its unique qualities.

The strain's distinctive blueberry flavor can be attributed to terpenes shared with fruit-producing blueberry plants and other Blueberry strains.
