Appearance
It seems as if the AK-47 has bulked up the trichome count on the Blueberry, as this sample arrived caked with cloudy-headed trichomes. While the sample could’ve used a more judicious and aggressive manicure, the overall appearance made our staff eager to try it. The healthy blend of light greens, the mixed autumn-colored pistils, and perfect texture/dryness level showed the care given to the grow and harvest. We did spot a few immature seeds in the sample, though they weren’t too prevalent.
Aroma
The DJ Short’s Blueberry really comes through here — notes of blueberries, strawberries, mint ice cream, and a slight sour element that comes out after the grind. If you like a sweet, fruity strain, this one’s right up your alley. It’s very nicely pungent as well, one of the stronger-smelling fruit varieties we’ve had in some time.
Flavor
While not quite as pungent and overwhelmingly sweet as the smell, the taste still had a clear berry flavor with hints of earth, flowers, and vegetation. It wasn’t a particularly enduring or pungent taste, but was enjoyed by the staff. The staff unanimously agreed that the smoke was very smooth and not too expansive, making this a good choice for patients who don’t wish to cough or otherwise have respiratory issues. The final ash was a little iffy-looking, with a charcoal/gray mix, indicating that it may have needed a more thorough flush.
Effect
(We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Strong relaxation qualities (mental and physical), anti-anxiety, minor pain/muscle tension relief, cleared up slight stomach discomfort, appetite stimulation, and some sleep aid properties.
Overall
Though it wasn’t one of the craziest-looking or strongest-tasting samples we’ve had as of late, this was a very solid med that would earn a place in our Indica rotation thanks to its enduring calming effects and even-handed power. It was never giving us anything unexpected and provided a steadily Indica-dominant experience that was effective enough while not being pushy. The grow quality overall was superb, with only a few small flaws to speak of, none of which seemed to affect the final quality all that much. A very solid in -house creation from The Health Depot here… and we have to say that the name is very appropriate considering the smell!
