Blue Crush
Blue Crush
Also known as: Blue Cap Crush, Blue Dreamsicle, Stormy Orange Dream
Overview
Blue Crush is a contemporary sativa-dominant hybrid strain (90% sativa/10% indica) developed by the renowned breeding collective Riot Seeds. The strain was originally created by crossing Orange Dream (a Blue Dream x Orange Crush hybrid) with Sandstorm, resulting in a complex genetic lineage. This strain is also known by several alternate names including Blue Cap Crush, Blue Dreamsicle, and was initially called Stormy Orange Dream by its creators. Blue Crush emerged during a period when the cannabis community sought strains offering both cerebral stimulation and full-body relaxation.
The strain is characterized by small, dense olive green nugs that are caked in trichomes and specked with furry orange hairs, with some phenotypes displaying amazing purple characteristics. Blue Crush features a citrusy berry taste that sweetens upon exhale and a smooth citrus aroma with subtle hints of buttery vanilla. The strain's terpene profile creates sharper citrus high notes and a creamier mid-palate compared to Blue Dream, maintaining a dessert-leaning fruit-limeade arc rather than haze-driven florals. With its balanced hybrid effects and unique aromatic profile, Blue Crush has established itself as a versatile choice suitable for both daytime creativity and evening relaxation.
