This indica dominant strain is primarily only found in the US West Coast market and only began to pop up in various dispensaries soon after the birth of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy. Hence the name. Only in America. Although the breeders of this bud are unknown, what is known is that is a cross between the Blue Dream and the mighty OG Kush strains and packs a relatively hefty 15-22% average THC level, that rewards the user with a giddy, energetic but very relaxed high.
It has small, dark green buds offset by brown rust-coloured hairs. The Plentiful trichomes give the flowers a silvery-white sheen and an incredibly sticky texture. It has a pungent and skunk-y aroma with a sweet undertone. Its smoke is extremely smooth and has a strong and sweet taste that is a blend of blueberry, diesel and berry flavours.
The high from Blue Ivy will make you feel inspired and motivated. This bud gifts the user a full-bodied relaxation, with a soothing yet upbeat cerebral effect that will make you feel like going out and hanging with those who you hold near and dear. It will make you feel euphoric, creative, happy and highly energized. It also uplifts you and makes you feel very enthusiastic about throwing yourself into a creative process, be that writing or painting or playing music. As the high progresses, users may find their euphoric contentment melting into couch lock or powerful sleepiness. Munchies are definitely part of this high, so have snacks at the ready.
As a result of these effects and its 15-22% average THC level, Blue Ivy is ideal for treating severe anxiety, depression, stress and different types of pains. It can also serve as a particularly strong appetite stimulant for those who have lost the desire to eat as the result of medication or chemotherapy.
Seeds of Blue Ivy are not commercially available, meaning that prospective growers will need to obtain clippings from mature, healthy plants in order to grow genetically identical “clones.” Once obtained, Blue Ivy can be grown indoors and outdoors. When growing indoors, it will flower in 8 to 9 weeks. If growing outdoors, expect it to flower in the middle of October.
If it’s a giddy, creative and, ultimately relaxing high you seek, try Blue Ivy.
