Daytime
The strain that defined the California market for most of the 2010s and still the most reliable yardstick on any menu. If a grower handles Blue Dream badly, assume the rest of the shelf is worse. Effects are famously even, which is why it survives as a benchmark rather than a headliner.
Chemotype
Terpenes
Listed most dominant first. Terpenes drive the smell and a good deal of the character of the effect, which is why a 19% jar with a strong profile routinely beats a flat 28% one.
