Spaceberry
Blueberry × Space Queen
Spaceberry is a hybrid strain often associated with berry-forward phenotypes and a mellow, expansive high. While its exact genetic makeup can vary due to different breeders, it is frequently described as an indica-leaning variety with a balanced profile.
Appearance
Spaceberry flowers typically present as medium-dense with conical tops and rounded secondary buds. Buds can range in color from forest green to darker emerald, with some phenotypes displaying violet hues, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. Pistils mature from peach to rust. The flowers are generally covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Spaceberry is characterized by sweet berry jam, often reminiscent of blueberry candy, layered with notes of citrus zest. Underlying herbal or pine-resin scents may also be present. Upon inhalation, flavors of blueberry, blackberry, or mixed-berry candy dominate, followed by hints of citrus oil. The finish can include peppery sweetness, herbal pine, and a lingering sugared berry glaze.
Effects
Consumers report that Spaceberry provides a mellow but expansive high, often described as cerebral and relaxing. It is noted for offering a comfortable potency that balances mood-lifting qualities with a sense of calm. The effects are generally considered to be well-rounded, suitable for various consumption occasions.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Spaceberry commonly inherits a terpene profile rich in myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and either limonene or pinene. These contribute to its distinct aroma and flavor complexities. THC levels typically range from 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%. The strain is known for its resin-forward pedigree, indicated by robust trichome coverage.
Origins & Lineage
Spaceberry is often described as a hybrid with roots tracing back to strains like Blueberry, the DJ Short heirloom, and Space Queen, a TGA Subcool Seeds creation. Some versions may involve backcrossing Space Queen-selected berry phenotypes into Blueberry or another berry-dominant parent to enhance the fruit profile. This genetic background contributes to its berry-forward characteristics and balanced effects.
Growing
Growers report that Spaceberry exhibits variability, with some phenotypes leaning more towards Blueberry's characteristics (denser buds, heavier body feel) and others towards Space Queen (more stretch, sharper aromatics). Flowering time is typical of modern polyhybrids. Consistency in yield and terpene profiles can be enhanced through the use of stable mother plants and clonal selections.
