Hybrid

Blizzard Bush

Blizzard Bush is a resinous hybrid cross of Pura Vida and Stardawg genetics created by Greenpoint Seeds. It is a rare, evenly balanced hybrid strain (cultivar) with a 50% indica and 50% sativa profile, offering consumers the best of both worlds. THC levels average a moderate 15%, while CBD content rarely tops 1%. This evenly balanced hybrid also contains minor cannabinoids CBC, CBG, CBN, and THCV, known for enhancing pleasure and motivation.

Not to be confused with Activision Blizzard, the gaming company, the aptly named Blizzard Bush strain has fluffy buds covered in thick resin trichomes with a shimmering effect of a snowstorm. Fans of this blizzardy cultivar can expect top notes of creamy marshmallow aromas mixed with octane fuel, pepper, and cured meats. The final exhale has a sweet candy flavor, like roasted marshmallows on the tongue.

Users enjoy Blizzard Bush’s mood elevation and blissful relaxation that doesn’t weigh them down. Thanks to its long-lasting effects and moderate THC levels, Blizzard Bush is a great strain to treat medical conditions such as mood swings, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and chronic fatigue.

Terpenes

The Blizzard Bush strain’s terpene profile features myrcene, humulene, and linalool, contributing to its sweet earth and pepper aroma. Terpenes like myrcene naturally synergize with THC and allow cannabinoids to bridge the blood-brain barrier more easily, contributing to Blizzard Bush’s quick, long-lasting effects. Humulene is a proven anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, and linalool is known to reduce stress.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Blizzard Bush is perfect for daytime use as it reportedly boosts energy and makes people more creative, talkative, and focused. The indica side of this hybrid eventually kicks in, providing mellow relaxation without heavy couch-lock effects.

Medical Applications

Blizzard Bush’s balanced ratio of indica and sativa qualities reportedly provides long-lasting relief that can help patients with many medical disorders. The Blizzard Bush strain has a moderate THC level for supporting pain relief. Still, this bud is most known for easing symptoms of stress-related mood disorders, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, and even fatigue. Blizzard Bush’s medicinal effects can also help with arthritis, muscle spasms, and multiple sclerosis.

Depression

The Blizzard Bush strain elevates mood, provides energy, and increases hunger. As a result, this strain may be used to treat symptoms of depression, such as sadness, fatigue, mood swings, and lack of appetite. THC notably acts as a temporary antidepressant for some people by stimulating the brain’s reward system to produce more dopamine, the body’s natural feel-good drug.

Anxiety, Panic Disorders

Blizzard Bush marijuana induces a talkative, uplifting, and creative feeling, which can relieve stress and anxiety throughout the day. Linalool is a primary terpene in the strain’s profile, which, studies show, has stress-reducing effects.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Marijuana is well known for its sedative properties. Still, recent studies confirm that smoking cannabis flower can also combat excessive fatigue in patients with cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, and multiple sclerosis. Blizzard Bush’s moderate THC content and initial burst of energy may be why some report its anti-fatigue effects.

Insomnia

As Blizzard Bush’s energizing effects wear off, its calming terpenes, linalool, and myrcene help send viscerally calming vibrations through the body. Blizzard Bush’s gentle sedation and anxiety-relieving properties can promote deeper, more restful sleep for some people with insomnia.

Dosing

The Blizzard Bush strain has moderate THC levels, reducing the risk of unwanted side effects like anxiety and paranoia. Still, new users should start with low doses and carefully increase the amount as they understand how Blizzard Bush will affect them.

When smoking Blizzard Bush flower, users should take one puff and wait 15 minutes before inhaling more. For edibles, a safe starter dose is 2.5-5 mg. Edibles’ effects will be more potent and take longer to kick in, so users should wait several hours before eating more.

Growing

Greenpoint Seeds discontinued selling Blizzard Bush cannabis seeds. However, seedlings or clones could be available online. Cultivators who can source this snowy variety will find it moderately challenging to grow.

Blizzard Bush can thrive indoors or outdoors, but outdoor yields tend to be higher. An average coating of buds should appear within 8-10 weeks, with large resin glands that glisten in the light. Blizzard Bush plants can grow rather tall, so indoor operators should allow plenty of space.

Height

Blizzard Bush is a balanced combination of Pura Vida and Stardawg that usually reaches a medium-tall height of 60-80 inches.

Humidity and Temperature

The Blizzard Bush strain appreciates sunshine and a semi-humid climate. Most cannabis requires about 40% air humidity during the flowering stage in mild, temperate conditions of no more than 75 degrees. Lower temperature and humidity levels are best for one to two weeks before harvest.

Flowering

The Blizzard Bush strain reaches full maturity in nine to 10 weeks. Mature plants have thickly coated buds that practically glow.
