Blue Cheese is an Indica-dominant strain. Despite its name, the strain actually tastes like blueberries, with a hint of a strawberry flavor. With its THC content at 15%-20%, it is a potent mix of Indica and Sativa. Users report a creeping high that settles deeply within the body without making it heavy, thus, freeing the mind. It makes people feel a little lazy, but not overwhelmingly so. The negative effects, apart from the regular cotton mouth and dry eyes, include minor paranoia, dizziness, and headaches.

This is a great strain that can be used day or night. Blue Cheese is primarily prescribed to treat stress, depression, and anxiety-related disorders. To a lesser degree, it can be used to relieve minor aches and pains. Some people find it helpful when treating sleeping disorders and migraines. Because it stimulates appetite, it can relieve symptoms of nausea and help people with eating disorders.

Blue Cheese, the product of Big Buddha Seeds, is a cross between Blueberry males and U.K. Cheese females. One single male was chosen to be crossed again with a U.K. Cheese female thus making Blue Cheese 80% Indica. This strain is recommended for indoor Sea of Green setups. It has a high leaf to calyx ratio, and it generally requires eight and ten weeks to flower.

Introduced in 2003 by Ken Estes, Granddaddy Purple (or GDP) is a famous indica cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud. This California staple inherits a complex grape and berry aroma from its Purple Urkle parent, while Big Bud passes on its oversized, compact bud structure. GDP flowers bloom in shades of deep purple, a contrastive backdrop for its snow-like dusting of white crystal resin.

Its potent psychoactive effects are clearly detectable in both mind and body, delivering a fusion of cerebral euphoria and physical relaxation. While your thoughts may float in a dreamy buzz, your body is more likely to find itself fixed in one spot for the duration of GDP’s effects. Like most heavy indica varieties, Granddaddy Purple is typically pulled off the shelf to treat pain, stress, insomnia, appetite loss, and muscle spasms. GDP blesses growers with massive commercial yields which are ready for harvest following a 60 day flowering time indoors.

Purple Urkle’s history is as complex as its flavour palate. A California strain, the origins are believed to stem from a select phenotype of either Granddaddy Purple or Mendocino Purps, while the essence is a blend of skunk, berry, and fresh grapes. Consumers report the indica effects to be deeply relaxing, sleep-inducing, and a great option for full-body pain relief. The short onset of effects make it a perfect nighttime strain for those who suffer from insomnia.

TrainWreck is a predominately Sativa medical hybrid with a spicy taste reminiscent of pepper. Like many Sativa dominate hybrids TrainWreck provides a very intense cerebral high. It’s effects are mood enhancing and euphoric. What makes TrainWreck different from many other hybrid strains is that it still keeps some of the effects of the Indica highs; covering the body in a nice pain numbing buzz. Trainwreck, when it is properly grown, retains the lazy couchlock feelings of an Indica and the cerebral stimulation of a Sativa. Apart from the usual dryness of mouth and eyes; some users may experience paranoia, anxiety and dizziness.

Even with the Indica effects, Trainwreck is still a mostly-Sativa kind of high with ADHD, PTSD and stress most often listed as its top medical uses. Properly grown Trainwreck is also used to alleviate chronic joint aches and muscle stiffness. From many user’s accounts only a few hits are needed to induce both the cerebral effects and a body high complete with couchlock.

This strain was supposedly the creation of two Californian brothers back in the late seventies. It is a mix of three other strains Thai (Sativa), Mexican (Sativa) and Afghani (Indica). Trainwreck is ninety percent Sativa and only ten percent Indica. As the story goes the two brothers had to pull their crop early because there was a nasty train wreck that happened near their grow site and they didn’t want it discovered; thus the name. Now Trainwreck is a very sought after strain through medical dispensaries.
