Blue Dot
Blue Dot
Also known as: MGB, Medical Grade Bud
Overview
Blue Dot, also known as MGB (Medical Grade Bud), is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that originated from California's medical cannabis scene. The strain has a complex and disputed history, with multiple origin stories from different breeders. One account traces it to a medical patient in Sonoma County who bred it as a therapeutic strain, originally distributing it through dispensaries like The Pharmacy Club. Another version claims it was created in Humboldt County by crossing Blueberry Indica with Train Wreck over three consecutive years, with the name derived from blue Sharpie pen markings used to label bags. The modern iteration is commonly described as a harmonious cross of Northern Lights, Haze, and Leda Uno, though some sources suggest it's a four-way cross between White Widow, Skunk, Big Bud, and Northern Lights #5. The strain typically displays an 80% sativa/20% indica composition and has become a staple at California medical dispensaries. Blue Dot showcases dense, resinous buds with vibrant green hues accented by subtle blue undertones that give the strain its name, complemented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes.

The strain thrives in warm, sunny climates and requires semi-humid or dry conditions around 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit for outdoor growing. It presents moderate growing difficulty with an average yield classified as medium. Indoor yields can reach up to 12 ounces per square meter, while outdoor yields range from 200-500 grams per plant with harvest time around mid-October. The plant features sturdy branches capable of supporting dense buds, making it reliable for growers and rewarding due to its robust nature and impressive yield potential. High-quality, well-draining soil is recommended, with nitrogen-rich fertilizers during vegetative stage and phosphorus/potassium-rich nutrients during flowering.
