- Cannabinoids: Blue Dream inflorescence contained 10.99% Δ9-THC with low CBD.
“Blue Dream | 10.99 ± 2.41 | 0.05 ± 0.01 | 0.13 ± 0.01 | 0.10 ± 0.02 | 0.03 ± 0.01”

- Cannabinoids: A Blue Dream sample labeled 17.33–33.00% THC measured 14.91% THC by dry weight by HPLC, 14.0% below the lowest and 54.8% below the highest reported value.
“Blue Dream 1 | Dispensary 1, 402R-00032 | Denver, 80210 | 17.33–33.00 | 2 | 14.91 (0.72) | -14.00% | -54.80%”

- Cannabinoids: Another Blue Dream sample labeled 14.41–25.18% THC measured 11.88% THC by dry weight, below the reported range.
“Blue Dream 4 | Dispensary 4, 402R-00340 | Denver, 80203 | 14.41–25.18 | 3 | 11.88 (0.53) | -17.60% | -52.80%”

- Terpenes: Blue Dream was grouped in the myrcene-dominant terpenoid cluster by hierarchical cluster analysis.myrcene
“First, a myrcene-dominant group made up of the Purple Cream, Grape Ape, Purple Princess, Blue Dream, Strawberry Haze, Godfather, and Purple Urkle cultivars.”

- Terpenes: Bulnesol was detected only in Blue Dream leaf samples among the hybrid cannabis leaves analyzed.bulnesol
“However, the guaiol terpene was not detected in all leaves, and bulnesol was only detected in the Blue Dream variety.”

- Genetic analysis: Six Blue Dream samples were genetically identical, while sample 3SN had very low relatedness to that group.r = 1.00
““Blue Dream” samples 1SN, 2SN, 4SN, 5SN, 6SN, and 8GN were genetically identical (r = 1.00); sample 3SN had very low relatedness to that group of samples (r = − 0.21).”
