Whitaker Blues embodies a distinctly Oregon lineage, a cross developed by JD, the offspring of DJ Short. Its paternal Blueberry roots originate on the West Coast of the United States, while the maternal Quimby is another old school West Coast line. The resulting hybrid leans toward indica in its effects, while still carrying a balanced blend of Sativa and Indica genetics. In cultivation it presents as a firm, short branched plant with compact, resinous buds, productive and vigorous, and tolerant of soil or hydro grows across a range of garden environments.
Flowering runs about 55 to 62 days, and as the finish approaches the foliage may don blue and violet hues, a color shift that hints at the plant's royal lineage.
On the nose it carries an enchanting spectrum that moves from sweet to pungent, with touches of berry candy and a musky warmth, finishing with a honeyed sweetness. The flavor follows suit, a blend that leans sweet and slightly pungent with a grape note and a hint of vanilla, while tasting can drift toward apple, citrus, berry, herbal, pine and spice notes as the experience unfolds. The initial effects are a strong, uplifting stimulation with a touch of dizziness that can heighten sensuality, inspire creativity and spark appetite. Therapeutically it may ease anxiety, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, and migraines, while the reported THC level remains unlisted.
