Blue Treat
Blue Treat
Also known as: Blue Dutch Treat, Blueberry Treat
Overview
Blue Treat was created by Canadian breeders Jordan of the Islands by crossing two renowned strains: Blueberry and Dutch Treat. The Blueberry parent has dominated the industry since the 70s with its tranquilizing body high, colorful hues, and excellent grow room performance, while Dutch Treat contributes divine taste and stress-reducing properties. This indica-dominant hybrid takes after its strong indica lineage, producing sticky, resinous buds, though it is greatly influenced by Dutch Treat's impressive euphoric effects. Blue Treat is not a large plant, with its indica genes making it short, stout, but absolutely sturdy.
The buds are visually striking, featuring dark green nugs with beautiful blue undertones and dense structure. When mature, they produce heavy, dense flowers covered in tiny clear crystal trichomes that appear almost blue in the right light, leaving a sticky film of resin that alludes to their potency. The dark green buds are covered in trichomes and give off a sweet berry aroma. The flavor profile is notably sweet, featuring vanilla and blueberry with accents of rich apricots on the exhale, while the aroma presents sweet berries with hints of earthy nuttiness and touches of vanilla.

Growing Information
Blue Treat is tricky to propagate without prior growing experience as the strain is sensitive to humidity due to its compact structure. Without proper ventilation, it can harbor moisture that attracts mold and mildew, requiring constant pruning to improve air and light circulation. It typically flowers indoors in 8-9 weeks, with yields of 10-12 ounces per square meter indoors. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere, it blossoms from early to mid-October with each plant yielding a minimum of 12 ounces. Applying the Sea of Green method can increase yields and shorten flowering time by at least a week. Currently only available in regular form, requiring additional steps like presoaking to encourage more female plants.
