Blue Slushie is a hybrid weed strain born and bred in California using some highly sought-after genetics descending from the almighty Cookies and Pie genetic lines. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about Blue Slushie, including who bred it, its aromas/flavors, effects, and growth traits.

History of the Blue Slushie Cannabis Strain

Blue Slushie is a hybrid strain created by Raw Genetics, a cannabis genetics company based in California with a 10-year trajectory. The brand was founded by a breeder known as Bradly who started out growing weed as a hobbyist, running small closet grows and outdoor gardens without much in-depth knowledge. After managing a 100-light grow in Los Angeles, Bradly was thrown into the commercial cannabis space and honed his skills. Today, Raw Genetics is a renowned name in the Californian cannabis game.

Genetic Lineage of Blue Slushie

Blue Slushie is a hybrid cannabis strain rumored to be indica dominant. While there is a lot of different information circulating regarding the strain's genetics, Raw Genetics confirms that the strain is a cross of Blue Cookies and Georgia Pie.

Blue Cookies is an indica-dominant cross stemming from Blueberry and GSC. Created by Raw Genetics, Blue Cookies (also known as Blue GSC) boasts a delicious aroma mixing upfront earthiness with lingering notes of sweet, acidic berries followed by subtle notes of cherries and lavender. Light her up and Blue Cookies boasts a similar flavor profile. With around 20% THC, Blue Cookies is known to hit users right between the eyes with a strong mental euphoria that quickly washes over the body.

Georgia Pie, on the other hand, is a cross of Gelatti and Kush Mints. Allegedly created by Seed Junky and popularized by Cookies, Georgia Pie is a heavy-hitting hybrid that produces dense and super frosty green nugs. Like the filling of the dessert she's named after, Georgia Pie boasts a sweet fruity peach aroma with accents of acidity alongside yeast, earth, and hints of dough. Its flavor is also very fruit forward, and its effects hit hard, combining a mental buzz with a strong body stone.

Physical Characteristics of Blue Slushie

Blue Slushie cannabis plants are brawny and display some notable indica characteristics—namely, broad leaves, compact nodes, and strong side branches. Once in bloom, Blue Slushie plants might lose their vibrant dark green color and instead take on a beautiful fall palette of yellow, orange, brown, and purple. Ripe Blue Slushie flowers boast the dense structure of a great indica, with tight mounds of round, bulging calyxes sprouting long yellow and golden hairs. In most cases, Blue Slushie will have beautiful purple hues that, under its thick coating of frosting, have an almost steel blue hue.

Properties and Effects of Blue Slushie

Blue Slushie has inherited the hard-hitting effects and delicious fruit aromas/flavors of its parents. On average, Blue Slushie flowers pack between 20 and 22% THC, though this may vary from one batch to another, with some varieties testing as high as 26% THC. Blue Slushie's terpene profile is very sweet and berry forward, dominated by myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene.

Crack the lid on a fresh batch of Blue Slushie buds and you'll be greeted by an unmistakable note of sweet berries. Take a second whiff and you may also detect notes of citrus and gas, as well as a slight peppery kick—aromas that all become much more noticeable when you break apart your flowers in a grinder. Veteran smokers with a sensitive nose may also pick up on subtle earthy, doughy undertones reminiscent of Georgia Pie. Light her up and Blue Slushie will douse your taste buds in candy sweet berry flavors, as if you've just slurped up an ice-cold blue slushie at the gas station. Next up, you'll detect earthy undertones as well as notes of gas and pepper that become more prominent after you exhale.

Similar to its parents, Blue Slushie is a hard-hitting strain with very potent effects. Most users experience an almost instant cerebral hit after enjoying Blue Slushie, which can lead to an elevated mood, giggling, heightened sociability, and an overall spout of positive energy. Very quickly, however, this cerebral rush washes down over the neck and shoulders and into the rest of the body. At this stage, you'll usually want to sit down somewhere comfortable and indulge in good food, music, or a movie.

Depending on your tolerance, Blue Slushie may leave you feeling groggy or sleepy, though experienced users may still remain somewhat functional. All in all, however, this is no daytime strain—instead, enjoy Blue Slushie when you're home alone, or with that special someone, and you can freely disconnect from the rest of the world for a while.

Uses of Blue Slushie

Blue Slushie is a relatively popular strain. Users of all types enjoy this strain for its sweet berry aromas and flavors, as well as its potent effects. Based on user reviews, Blue Slushie is a good strain for:

• Post-work/workout relaxation

• Lazy Sundays

Note that Blue Slushie is a very strong strain that hits hard and fast. For some users (especially newcomers to cannabis), its immediate rush of cerebral energy and strong body stone may be overwhelming and unpleasant. Moreover, Blue Slushie may also cause unwanted side effects in some people, including:

• Dizziness

Cultivation and Production of Blue Slushie

Blue Slushie is available as feminized seeds from Raw Genetics. Once sprouted, Blue Slushie seedlings grow into hardy plants with dark green, broad leaves and strong stems.
