Blackberry Dream
Overview
Blackberry Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Elev8 Seeds through crossing Kimbo Kush and Super Silver Haze. The strain exhibits a 60/40 sativa-dominant ratio and was bred specifically with euphoria as the primary breeding goal. Developed during the early days of modern cannabis breeding, Blackberry Dream emerged from Elev8 Seeds' meticulous breeding practices that combined traditional land-race genetics with contemporary hybrid techniques, gaining traction in European and American markets during the mid-2010s.
The strain displays dense, generously trichome-coated buds with a crystalline appearance and beautifully structured interwoven branches. The coloration typically includes deep forest greens mixed with vibrant purple hues reminiscent of ripe blackberries, featuring fluffy olive green nugs with dark undertones and deep amber hairs. Blackberry Dream offers an addictive sweet blackberry flavor with a chemical grapefruit exhale, while its aroma is very spicy and herbal with sweet overtones filled with fresh berries. The strain features key terpenes including myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, contributing to its distinctive aromatic and flavor profile that has made it a favorite among cannabis connoisseurs.

Growing Information
Blackberry Dream has a flowering time of 9-10 weeks (63-70 days) and is known to produce extremely heavy yields in ideal conditions. Despite its sativa dominance, the strain produces short plants with thick leaves and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Growing is considered moderately challenging, adapting well to indoor environments but requiring a semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climate for successful outdoor cultivation. Regular pruning is required to ensure equal light and oxygen distribution, as the strain produces short, bushy plants with chunky, trichome-laden buds. Indoor yields can reach up to 500-600g per square meter. The strain does not like salt buildup and phosphorus supplementation should be delayed until around week 8 of flowering.
