¶ Bluehead
¶ Overview
Bluehead is a sativa-dominant hybrid that crosses the legendary fruity Blueberry with the intensely cerebral Neville's Haze. This combination produces a strain that marries the sweet, berry-forward flavor profile of Blueberry with the powerful, long-lasting sativa effects of one of the most potent Haze varieties ever created. Bluehead delivers THC levels in the 16-21% range with a terpene profile dominated by myrcene, terpinolene, and pinene, producing a berry-citrus-pine aroma that is both sweet and complex. The strain is prized for its uplifting and cerebral effects, making it a popular choice for users seeking a powerful daytime sativa with excellent flavor.

¶ Genetics & Lineage
Bluehead combines two iconic genetics:
- Blueberry -- The legendary indica-dominant strain created by DJ Short, known for its distinctive berry aroma and flavor, derived from Afghani, Thai, and Purple Thai genetics
- Neville's Haze -- A pure sativa created by Mr. Nice Seeds from original Haze x Northern Lights #5, known for extremely cerebral and long-lasting effects
Parent lineage: Blueberry x Neville's Haze
The cross was designed to introduce the flavorful berry profile and some structural density of Blueberry into the powerful sativa framework of Neville's Haze. The resulting sativa-dominant hybrid retains the intense cerebral effects of its Neville's Haze parent while gaining the sweet berry-citrus flavor from Blueberry.
¶ Cannabinoid Profile
| Cannabinoid | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| THC (Total) | 16-21% |
| CBD | <1% (typically 0.1-0.3%) |
| CBG | 0.5-1.3% |
| CBN | <0.5% (increases with age) |
Bluehead sits in the upper-moderate to high THC range, providing pronounced potency that is well-suited to experienced sativa users.
¶ Terpene Profile
| Terpene | Approximate Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Myrcene | 25-35% | Primary terpene; sweet, herbal, fruity character from Blueberry |
| Terpinolene | 15-25% | Significant presence; floral, herbal, citrus notes contributing to the cerebral quality |
| Pinene | 10-15% | Pine freshness inherited from the Haze genetics |
| Caryophyllene | 5-10% | Spicy, peppery depth |
| Limonene | 3-7% | Subtle citrus brightness complementing the berry profile |
The myrcene-terpinolene-pinene combination produces the berry-citrus-pine aroma that defines Bluehead, with the berry sweetness being the most prominent feature.

| Preferred Environment | Indoor or outdoor; prefers warm, dry conditions with good air circulation. The longer flowering period requires consistent environmental management. |
| Resistance | Moderate resistance to mold and pests. The Blueberry heritage contributes some resilience, but the Haze genetics require attentive care. Responds well to SCROG and topping. |
Bluehead is moderately challenging to grow. The significant sativa stretch from the Neville's Haze parent requires height management, and the longer flowering time (65-75 days) demands patience. The Berry heritage contributes some structural density and resin production. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere typically falls in mid to late October. Growers should plan for significant vertical space or employ training techniques to manage height.
