Blueberry Muffin Strain History
Genetics
Blueberry Muffin was created by crossing Blueberry with Purple Panty Dropper and Razzleberry strains. Although it might sound like a cocktail you might order in a hipster bar, it actually means Blueberry Muffin has a loaded family tree.
The rich genetic lineage of this train is astounding. On one side we have Oregon Grape, Matanuskan Mist, and the legendary Purple Haze.
On the other are two incredible Kush strains, Raspberry Kush and Purple Kush. Holy moly, it’s no wonder that Blueberry Muffin is so highly regarded and sought after.
Origin of the Blueberry Muffin Strain
Blueberry Muffin was created by the Humboldt Seed Co in 2009. They initially crossed their in-house Purple Panty Dropper with a clone of Razzle Berry.
One of the phenotypes had a distinct Blueberry aroma, and it is with this line that they continue to create the Blueberry Muffin strain. Their most recent being blueberry Muffin #10.
Blueberry Muffin Strain Profile
Strain Appearance
Blueberry Muffin looks out of this world amazing. It catches your eye immediately, and I can assure you that you will be zoning out and staring at it longingly. I couldn’t take my eyes off it the first time I saw it.
The densely packed olive size buds are a fantastic mix of greens, purples, and oranges. The range of purples is spectacular, with various vivid shades standing out.
These purples compliment the flaming orange pistils, and the whole nugs are covered in a dense layer of white crystal trichomes.

When you blaze up this strain, you will be shocked at how much it smells like fresh blueberry muffins straight out of the oven. Its intensely potent aroma engages the senses and makes the mouth water immediately.
The sweetness of the berry and vanilla grows in potency as you consume, whilst the earthy pine of the flavor lingers.
Strain Cannabinoids
Blueberry Muffin has a THC content of between 16 – 19% and a CBG count of around 1%.
Blueberry Muffin Strain Terpenes
Caryophyllene is the dominant terpene in Blueberry Muffin, and it is quite a special one indeed. It is unique in that it can directly activate cannabinoid receptors in the brain, that’s going straight to the source!
It can aid treatment for both physical and mental discomfort, being used in the treatment of anxiety, chronic pain, and fatigue.
Terpinolene is a terpene loaded with potential medical benefits. It is known for its antioxidant properties, and it has natural antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties.
It is also known to induce a strong sedative effect on the body and works as a mild central nervous system depressant.
Myrcene has strong anti-inflammatory and sedative effects that allow it to treat a number of chronic pain and sleep-related issues. This also makes it effective in aiding the treatment of stress and anxiety disorders.

This can leave you with a case of couch-lock and little chance of moving soon.
Some users reported feeling dizzy with a headache, though perhaps this was due to overconsumption. Keep hydrated to aid this and also combat the sneaky dry mouth that will remain after you smoke.
Medical Benefits of the Blueberry Muffin Strain
Due to the diverse terpene profile, Blueberry Muffin is a popular choice amongst medicinal marijuana users. Due to the lower THC count than some strains, users are able to still go about their day with focus, whilst gaining the benefits of the strain’s anti-inflammatory properties.

It is regarded as not too difficult to grow, though pruning often is advised. It is also quite resistant to mold and bug infestation, though of course growers should still monitor their plants for any signs of disease.

Final Thoughts: Blueberry Muffin Strain Review
Quite simply, it was love at first sight with Blueberry Muffin. The colors are almost hypnotic, and the range of deep purples and greens is enticing. The team at Humboldt Seed Co has knocked the ball out of the park with this one.
The flavor and the aromas are wonderfully intense. The sweetness stands out and is beautifully complemented with the earth pines for a balanced, smooth, and seriously creamy smoking experience.
The ability to find some focus whilst also feeling a body high is pretty awesome and a rarity for me, as I often find myself feeling one way or the other with many strains.
This fabulous strain is one I would go back to again and again and never tire of. Though I usually prefer Sativa leaning strains, this one really hit the sweet spot for me.
