What is the Whitaker Blues strain?
Whitaker Blues is a indica cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its body high effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Whitaker Blues is a classic indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by JD Short, son of legendary breeder DJ Short. This strain represents a true Oregon heritage cross, combining the genetics of Blueberry (DJ Short's personal selection) with Quimby, an old-school West Coast indica known for its potent sedating effects. The resulting strain maintains an 80% indica to 20% sativa genetic profile, creating a powerful and distinctive cannabis variety that has earned recognition in the cannabis community. The strain was developed as an improvement to DJ Short's already famous Blueberry line, adding the hard-hitting characteristics of Quimby to enhance the overall potency and therapeutic value. Whitaker Blues plants grow into short, stout, bushy specimens with solid horizontal branching patterns that produce large, compact buds heavily loaded with resin. The strain is particularly notable for developing striking blue and violet hues during the final weeks of flowering, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. These colorful displays come from activated anthocyanin pigments, giving the strain its distinctive visual appeal that matches its name. The plants are known for their vigorous growth and productivity, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper environmental controls.
