Treasure Map
Treasure Map Strain Overview
Treasure Map is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. What is known suggests it was developed by small-scale breeders who crossed two popular West Coast strains to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive aromatic properties. The name 'Treasure Map' reportedly references both the strain's complex flavor profile that unfolds like a journey and its tendency to produce resinous buds that glisten like hidden gems.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers display a striking visual appearance with deep forest green calyxes contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A notable feature is the thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, almost white appearance under certain lighting conditions. The buds are often quite resinous, making them popular among concentrate enthusiasts.
Treasure Map's rarity means it hasn't achieved widespread commercial distribution, remaining primarily within regional cannabis communities in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California. Its limited availability has contributed to its somewhat mythical status among connoisseurs, with some considering it a 'hidden treasure' of the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene. The strain's genetics appear to stabilize around a 60% indica to 40% sativa balance, though phenotypes can vary depending on growing conditions and cultivation techniques.

Treasure Map Strain Growing Information
Treasure Map is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 5-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
