Bred by Goldenseed, Jack Frost was developed over 5 years of persistence in order to improve on the potency and aroma of this strain. Initially with a lineage of Jack Herrer, White Widow and Northern Lights #5, these strains were bred before then introducing Rainbow Kashmiri (now it its third year of exclusive inbreeding). THC content in this strain has been measured up to 22.6%.

Appearance: (8/10) We had samples made up of two different plants from the same batch, as one was lighter green than the other. However, both samples showed off abundant trich coverage and average density for an Indica, with small amounts of peach-colored pistils. It had an average manicure, it would’ve shined a bit more without some of the guard leaves, though they were frosty. Aroma: (8.5/10) Very surprising for the lineage, it smelled almost like sweet strawberry candy, reminding one reviewer of a standard Blueberry but with a pervading freshness that isn’t normally found in that strain. Unusually fruity and pleasurable smell for an Afghani-derived plant. A slightly early harvest in our estimation, with less than 10% visible ambers and many clear trichs. Taste: (7/10) This strain yielded a complex and sophisticated sort of flavor, with a herby and slightly sweet frontal attack followed by notes of smoke, scotch, oak, and pine. We’re not sure if we really liked it… it may be one of those acquired tastes. The smoke was smooth though and not particularly expansive… good choice for those who don’t like to cough. Effects: A fuzzy-feeling mental state and warm, buzzy extremities started off this heavily Indica experience. A bit slack-jawed and goofy, we felt our mood elevate but never really felt the urge to get up out of a seated position, except perhaps to go lay down instead. One reviewer in particular (standard-to-high dosage, 0.2g) felt strongly somatic effects and needed a nap, while the others were rather functional despite the level of relaxation provided by this strain. Definitely prone to sedentary activities rather than active ones, this is most appropriate as a later day Indica, especially at higher dosages. Duration: Medium, 2- 2.5 hours Medicinal Traits: (We are NOT doctors — personal opinion ONLY) Major relaxation (mental and physical), mood elevation, sleep aid, anti-anxiety, hypertension, mild pain relief, and ocular relief. Overall: An unusually sweet and fruity Afghani, this sample of Afgooey had quite a lot of medicinal benefits for patients who seek relaxation, relief of mild aches and pains, and a somatic experience. At higher dosages, it can be a bit overwhelming if you have things to do during the day… but at average dosages, it has a low “ceiling” and won’t completely knock you out. For a night at home with little responsibility, you can’t go wrong with this strain – very solid representation of an Indica experience.

The reason that this strain was the unofficial "flavor of the year" in Northern California points to it's origins. It began in the beach town of Santa Cruz, California as a medical clone. This excellent cross between Blueberry and Haze is a huge favorite in most of the dispensaries in Northern California. Being mostly Sativa, this strain allows productivity and encourages creativity and inspiration. With just a touch of Indica, Blue Dream is great for daytime pain relief. Another reason that it is favored among patients is for the duration of the high, usually lasting between 2 and 3 hours. Great if you are trying the conserve medication as well as money, as this wondrous strain is priced fairly (usually between $45 and $55 at most dispensaries). The buds are usually medium-green colored, with clusters of orange pistils and (when grown well) frosted with a thick layer of sticky tri-chromes. Even though Blue Dream is mostly sativa, when growing the plant tends to look 100% sativa, contributing to this common misconception. The leaves are extremely long and thin, seeming to stretch on forever. They have the most subtle of a bluish, sometimes purple, tint. When grown outdoors, this strain of cannabis is notoriously susceptible to spider mites and, while it can produce up to 7 pounds when properly grown outdoors, it much prefers an indoor growing environment. Blue Dream is renowned by cannabis connoisseurs in California for having some of the best flavors. It begins with a light, smooth, floral and fruity inhale, with a undertone of blueberry, and spiciness on exhale. This medication is ideal for the daytime user who wants to enjoy a few hours of dreamlike, yet upbeat serenity.
