What is Blue Dream?
To answer this question and more, we turned to a few experts: Aurora, Simply Bare and Tantalus Labs.
This West Coast staple is a high-THC hybrid, known for its strong aroma and high terpene content. In the grow room or the greenhouse, it’s a low-maintenance plant that grows tall with heavy buds.
HISTORY
Dreamed up in Santa Cruz, Calif., this strain is a cross between indica-dominant Blueberry and sativa-dominant Haze.
Its popularity out west made Blue Dream an easy choice for growers, but that’s not the only place it’s gained recognition, according to Tantalus Labs. “When we were selecting our first set of launch strains, Blue Dream stood out as a crowd favourite within our team. We were just as excited to grow it as we were to share it with customers.”
CHARACTERISTICS
This strain is best known for its remarkable aroma, but what exactly that aroma is depends on who grew it.
Simply Bare’s Blue Dream stays the closest to the original strain; it’s high in myrcene with a strong blueberry scent. Their strain tests at over 3% total terpenes, with typical myrcene and caryophyllene at the forefront, followed closely by less common ocimene and humulene.
Both Aurora and Tantalus Labs produce a unique take on this tried-and-true strain. The team at Aurora elaborates further. “Our version of this strain has a differentiated terpene profile from the ‘standard’ Blue Dream on the market, in that it is pinene dominant instead of myrcene dominant. The aroma profile includes pine, pepper and lemon. The top five terpenes are alpha-pinene, beta-myrcene, beta-pinene, trans-caryophyllene and limonene.”
GROWING
Overall, Blue Dream is an easy-to-grow low-maintenance strain. It can be grown both indoors and in a hybrid greenhouse, enjoying sunlight and supplemental light. Its only flaw? Needing a little extra support. This hybrid grows tall like a sativa but has large buds like an indica, so growers sometimes have to add a trellis to prevent the plant from toppling over under its own weight.
Simply Bare (grown by Rubicon Organics) shares their unique process for growing Blue Dream. “We are one of the few producers to grow in soil, and we do so to mimic nature as much as possible. There are living organisms in the soil that help break down the nutrients we mix into our secret recipe, such as Douglas fir bark, kelp and bone meal, and make them ‘bioavailable’ to the plant. Rather than forcing certain nutrients onto the plant, our strain of Blue Dream chooses what combination of nutritional inputs it needs to grow best. The result is big, full buds littered with orange pistils and, most importantly, exceptionally high terpene levels.”
Tantalus Labs also has a unique approach to quenching this strain’s thirst. “Blue Dream produced at Tantalus Labs’ facility is watered only with pure rainwater. Rain is captured, triple-filtered and dripline-fed to each plant, meaning it’s never been touched by chlorine or fluoride like many municipal water sources.”
For Tantalus Labs, the process of creating Blue Dream led to an interesting discovery. “During the phenotyping run for our Blue Dream, we found a second remarkable phenotype that leaned toward the Blueberry indica side. It was notable enough that we cycled it into our cultivation schedule and launched it as our popular Sky Pilot strain. It’s similar to Blue Dream but with an indica-dominant expression and higher THC.”
What is a strain?
To help you understand what a cannabis strain is, you can think of it like a breed of dog. While all dogs share similar traits, there are definitely differences among breeds (you wouldn’t confuse a Great Dane with a dachshund, for example). When it comes to different cannabis strains, this means one may have a sweet, lemony aroma, while another may boast a pungent, sour diesel-like scent. These differences have been fine-tuned by cannabis growers over many generations. Growers will choose two plants with desirable traits (for example, a strong diesel scent) and cross (or breed) those plants together, creating an offspring with a stronger expression of those desirable traits. When breeding cannabis plants, growers are often focused on the unique aroma, and taste, and potential THC and CBD content of a strain. And just like no two Great Danes are the same, strains can vary from lot to lot and grower to grower.

How To Get Fast Reliable Weed Delivery in Ajax Right To Your Doorstep
If you’re anything like other weed enthusiasts, you were elated when recreational cannabis was legalized in Canada.
Now, all adults can purchase, consume, possess, and transport marijuana in Canada, and the legal cannabis industry is quickly growing.
Because of this, the market is full of high-quality marijuana and marijuana products with standard, competitive prices.
Whether you live in Ajax, Pickering, or elsewhere in Canada, you can easily buy weed from an online dispensary and have it delivered right to your home or office.
This level of convenience has become a staple ever since the pandemic, and weed delivery in Ajax is a service that many cannabis consumers have now gotten used to.
If you’re wondering where to buy weed online in Canada, we’ll let you know why you should order from a dispensary.
Benefits of Buying Weed from an Online Dispensary
1. Access to a wide variety of products
One advantage of shopping for weed online is the access you get to many different strains and products. Online dispensaries have extensive menus to cater for their vast customer base. This is no different at the 6ix Cannabis. We pride ourselves in having something for everyone.
Online dispensaries sell more than pre-rolls and cannabis buds. Depending on the store you’re shopping from, you can buy vape kits, waxes, edibles, dabs, and more. You could even find smoking accessories like rolling trays, papers, bongs, and pipes.
If you’re looking for more than just a little shatter, you can probably find it on an online dispensary’s menu.
2. You receive numerous offers and discounts
Other than selling high quality products, one of the many ways cannabis dispensaries are able to rise above competition is by giving customers offers and discounts.
Many dispensaries may offer you free pre-rolls on your next purchase, or give you a store voucher when you refer new customers.
You may also receive customer loyalty points that you can redeem at later dates. Customers that sign up for a store newsletter may receive news about offers, promotions and sales first. If you buy weed regularly, these points will quickly add up.
3. Online dispensaries offer fast, reliable delivery
Buying from an online dispensary is all about convenience. You don’t have to walk to the weed store and pick out what you want. All you need to do is make an online purchase, and wait to have your order brought right to your doorstep.
Since the pandemic, home weed delivery in Ajax has become the cornerstone of the marijuana industry. All orders are processed quickly, and parcels sent out discreetly and efficiently. This way, your nosy church friends don’t get to know you smoke weed right after church.
4. You can buy weed all-day, every day
Buying weed from an online dispensary provides you with 24-7 access to high-quality cannabis, all through the year.
It’s hard to find a physical dispensary that’s open for 24 hours because, you know, folks got to sleep. Online stores, on the other hand, are typically always open, and you can place an order at any time and receive it early the next morning.

How to Find the Best Weed Online
There are many dispensaries that sell weed online now that recreational and medicinal marijuana is legal in Canada. If you’re new to smoking cannabis and these options leave you feeling spoilt for choice, these quick tips can help:
- Buy a sample
Before you buy 3 ounces of that sativa strain you’re curious to try, it would be a good idea to buy a small sample first. You don’t know if you’ll like it, and the last thing you want is to have a lot of flower that’s too potent for you, or that you don’t enjoy for whatever reason.
We recommend buying a small sample first and then ordering more later. For example, you can buy some pre-rolls or a one or two grams of flower.
- Be deliberate while shopping
There are so many different strains: indicas, sativas, high-THC, high-CBD… If you go online to buy weed and don’t know what you’re looking for, you may find yourself scrolling for hours. There’s always a new product being advertised, and you may end up buying impulsively.
To avoid this, you should be deliberate when shopping for weed online. You could write a list of all the strains you’d like to try, and tick them off one by one. This way, you know exactly what you want when you go online.
- Ask a friend to recommend something
If you have a friend that’s as much of a weed enthusiast as you are, or more, you can ask them to recommend a new strain you should try.
Recommendations from a friend go a long way since they know you well enough to know if you’d enjoy something. A friend could also recommend a good, reliable dispensary to you..
- Peep the reviews
The reviews a dispensary gets from its customers are the most trustworthy indicator of the kind of business it is. Look through reviews from past verified purchases to get a sense of how the dispensary treats its customers and goes about their business.
If someone had such an uplifting shopping experience that they felt compelled to leave a positive comment, you know you can trust that store with your business.
Here Are a Few Staff Picks You Should Try
Pacific OG
Pacific OG is a Sativa dominant hybrid that was bred by Tantalus Labs by crossing Nepali OG with Snow Lotus.
This elegant strain has an unmistakable OG aroma with undertones of black cherry and subtle hints of liquorice.
The nugs are caked, hand-harvested and slow-cured, giving them a full flavour and aroma profile. If you’re looking for an uplifting and energizing strain you can smoke before your night out at The Edge, you should try some Pacific OG.
Raspberry Gummies
Our Raspberry vanilla soft chews come in a 2 pack, and contain 10 mg THC and 1 mg CBD.
These gummies have a sweet raspberry taste that helps mask the herbal taste of marijuana. They are made in Charlottetown, and are one of the products we’re most proud to sell.
