Double Dream

Breeder: Unknown (Oaksterdam Seed Co. bred the Dream Star parent; Double Dream itself emerged without a documented original breeder, appearing in West Coast dispensaries circa 2015)

Double Dream doubles down on Blue Dream genetics by crossing it with Dream Star (itself a Blue Dream x Stardawg hybrid). The result is a strongly sativa-leaning cultivar that delivers a clear-headed, euphoric cerebral lift paired with a smooth physical calm that avoids couch-lock. It has earned a loyal following for daytime use, creative sessions, and social settings. The flavor synchronizes sweet floral and berry notes from its Blue Dream heritage with a spicy, gassy edge courtesy of Dream Star's Chemdawg-family influence. Despite no major cup wins of its own, Double Dream benefits from the award-heavy pedigree of both parents and has spawned several notable crosses. Double Dream emerged from Oregon's cannabis scene in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the universally-loved Blue Dream experience with complementary genetics. Blue Dream (Blueberry x Super Silver Haze) contributes the dreamy, balanced euphoria, berry-sweet terpenes, and vigorous growth. Dream Star's contribution adds vigor and potentially shortens flowering time while maintaining sativa-forward effects. The result is a strain that delivers Blue Dream-style versatility—suitable for novice consumers and connoisseurs alike—with enhanced production characteristics. The 90% sativa ratio produces clean cerebral energy: creative uplift, mood enhancement, and smooth relaxation without heavy sedation. It is an ideal daytime strain that doesn't compromise functionality. The flavor profile is sweet and floral with herbal undertones and light spice. Dominant terpenes include terpinolene, myrcene, and pinene. Despite being described as clone-only by some sources, seeds have become available from several breeders. The strain's combination of fast flowering, high yields, and premium sativa effects makes it a favorite among commercial cultivators seeking efficient production of sativa-dominant flower.

Lineage & Genetics

Cross: Blue Dream x Dream Star

Parent strains in encyclopedia:Blue Dream→

Blue Dream (Blueberry x Super Silver Haze) contributes berry sweetness, terpinolene-forward terpene expression, and an uplifting, haze-driven cerebral effect. Dream Star (Blue Dream x Stardawg, bred by Oaksterdam Seed Co.) adds Chemdawg-lineage resin production, diesel and pepper undertones from its Stardawg side, and a denser flower structure. The net effect is a cultivar that runs Blue Dream's character through a chem-diesel filter, adding depth and gassiness while preserving the clear-headed sativa high.

Lineage Dispute

No dispute on the cross itself. Dream Star is Blue Dream x Stardawg (bred by Oaksterdam Seed Co.), though a minority of clone tags link Dream Star to Sensi Star lineage instead of Stardawg. SeedFinder.eu lists the Double Dream breeder as 'Unknown or Legendary.' Some sources cite Oregon origins, others California.

Terpene Profile

DOMINANT

Myrcene — Earthy, musky base grounding the fuel-forward profile

SECONDARY

Pinene — Resinous pine adding solvent-like sharpness to fuel

SECONDARY

Caryophyllene — Sharp spice reinforcing fuel and diesel character

SECONDARY

Limonene — Sharp citrus edge contrasting fuel undertones

SECONDARY

Terpinolene — Complex floral-citrus-pine character with herbal freshness

Aroma: Sweet berry and blueberry top notes from its Blue Dream heritage, with floral and herbal mid-tones. A peppery spice and subtle diesel/fuel undertone emerge from the Stardawg lineage in Dream Star. Some phenotypes show lavender or lilac undertones (linalool influence). Broken buds release an invigorating, fresh nose.

Flavor: Sweet and floral on the inhale with pronounced berry (blueberry, mixed berry) and citrus notes. The exhale carries herbal, peppery spice from caryophyllene and a woodsy, piney edge from pinene. A light earthiness and musky depth from myrcene rounds out the profile. Some users describe a tea-like or sandalwood quality on the finish. Widely praised — Leafly reviewers call it 'might be the best tasting weed I've ever smoked.'

Effects & Experience

Onset: Fast — 2 to 10 minutes after inhalation. Begins with a bright cerebral lift that sharpens focus and sparks creative energy.

Clear-headed euphoria and mental stimulation without raciness. The headspace is buoyant and sociable — often described as a 'party strain' that helps users come out of their shell. A smooth physical relaxation develops over time, muting tension and pain without pulling into sedation. Users report the ability to remain functional and productive throughout. Higher doses can produce a head rush; newer users should start low as THC can reach 26%.

Duration: Peak effects at 30–60 minutes, total duration 2–3 hours. The comedown is gentle with no hard crash.

Environment

Indoor, warm Mediterranean outdoor

Double Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid (90% sativa / 10% indica) believed to have originated in Oregon by crossing Blue Dream with Dream Star. The result is a production-friendly sativa with an unusually short flowering time, vigorous growth, and above-average yields that make it commercially attractive despite its sativa-heavy genetics. THC typically ranges 20-26%.

Growth Structure and Training

The plant grows vigorously with classic sativa-leaning structure: tall (60-80 inches / 150-200 cm both indoors and outdoors), strong lateral branching, and open canopy architecture. Growth during veg is rapid and continuous—the plant is an enthusiastic grower that fills space quickly. Stems are moderately sturdy but colas become large and heavy, absolutely requiring trellis support in the latter half of flowering.

Growth Structure and Training

Training is essential for indoor cultivation. Top plants at the 4th-5th node during early veg to break apical dominance and encourage lateral growth. SCROG is the optimal method: the open branching pattern weaves through netting naturally, creating an even canopy with multiple cola sites. LST also works well to spread branches horizontally. The key is opening the center of the plant for air circulation and light penetration—Double Dream's vigorous foliage can create dense canopy interiors if left unpruned.

Environmental requirements

daytime temps 70-85F (the strain tolerates warmth well), nighttime 65-72F. Humidity at 60-70% for seedlings, 50-60% in veg, 40-50% during flower. Light intensity should start at 300-450 PPFD in early veg, scaling to 600-800 PPFD in late veg and 800-1000 PPFD in mid-to-late flower. Under supplemental CO2 (900-1200 ppm), the canopy can utilize 1000-1200 PPFD with proportional yield increases.

Nutrient Management

Nutrient demands are moderate to heavy. The vigorous growth and sativa-dominant metabolism require consistent feeding throughout the cycle. Use 1.4-2.0 EC during veg with standard ratios, transitioning to bloom-heavy PK formulations at the flip. The plant is not excessively sensitive—it handles production-level feeding well.

Flowering Time and Harvest

The flowering time is remarkably short for a 90% sativa: 7-9 weeks (50-63 days). This is Double Dream's killer feature—sativa effects with hybrid turnaround time. Most phenotypes finish between day 56 and 63. Watch trichomes: harvest at mostly cloudy with 5-10% amber for balanced head-body effects. Harvesting earlier emphasizes the bright, racy sativa character; an extra 5-7 days beyond peak softens the terpinolene edge.

Bud Structure and Trichomes

Buds develop thick, frosted structure on long colas—they grow large and heavy, which is why trellis support is non-negotiable from mid-flower onward. The weight of mature buds will snap unsupported branches. Light green buds are covered in bright orange pistils with heavy trichome coverage.

Yields are excellent

450-750 g/m² indoors (experienced growers pushing 650+ g/m² with optimized LEDs) and 600-900 g/plant outdoors in full sun with adequate root space (30-50 gallon containers or in-ground beds). The combination of short flowering time and large yields makes Double Dream an efficient production strain.

Pest and Disease Resistance

Double Dream is mildew-resistant but needs pest protection. Outdoor harvest falls in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Ideal outdoor climates are warm Mediterranean with 6-8 hours minimum direct sunlight daily.

History & Origin

Double Dream emerged on the West Coast cannabis scene around 2015, appearing in California and Oregon dispensaries without a single documented breeder. SeedFinder.eu classifies it under 'Unknown or Legendary.' Its immediate recognition was driven by Blue Dream's dominance as the most popular strain in the U.S. at the time — crossing Blue Dream with its own descendant Dream Star was a logical intensification of those beloved genetics. The strain spread primarily through clone networks in medical markets. Royal King Genetics and other seed companies have since stabilized their own seed versions (F4 production lines), but the original clone-only heritage remains its most authentic form. While Double Dream has not won major cannabis cups itself, its parent Blue Dream has an extensive award history, and the strain has earned strong word-of-mouth credibility through hundreds of positive user reviews.
