Double Dutchess
Also known as: Double Duchess
Double Dutchess Strain Overview
Double Dutchess is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two notable parent strains, creating a balanced genetic profile that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain emerged in the late 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to combine desirable traits from its lineage, though specific breeding history details remain somewhat obscure in public records. Its name likely references both its genetic duplication ("double") and the regal connotations of "Dutchess," suggesting a premium quality experience.
The plant produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers display a striking visual appearance with deep forest green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance. The coloration can sometimes include subtle purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures, adding to its visual appeal.
Double Dutchess is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, sweet, and citrus notes. The strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and flavorful smoke, though it remains less widely distributed than mainstream commercial strains. Its relative rarity means that specific characteristics can vary between different growers' expressions of the genetics.

Double Dutchess Strain Growing Information
Double Dutchess is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants exhibit a bushy structure with indica-dominant growth patterns, reaching medium height of 3-5 feet indoors and potentially 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during late flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production.
