Whitaker Blues is a true Oregon heritage cross developed by DJ
Short’s son, JD. The mother of this strain is currently referred
to as “Quimby”; an old-school West Coast staple reminiscent of
a classic, early indica lineage. Quimby is strong and sleepy in
its effect. The father is Blueberry, also originating from the
West Coast of the US, mixing Oaxaca, Thai, and Afghani
genetics.
This West Coast marriage makes Whitaker Blues an indicadominant strain, and the indica background is prominent in its growth characteristics. This strain is a stout, short-branching
hybrid that sports large, compact and highly resinous buds.
Whitaker’s growth is both vigorous and productive, performing
well in either hydro or soil and proving resilient to many minor
garden fluctuations. It finishes after 55–62 days of flowering,
and hues of violet and blue creep in toward the end of the
flowering cycle. At finish, Whitaker Blues plants are mediumshort in stature with thick leaves and large, chunky buds.
Whitaker Blues has a complex and enchanting smell that
ranges from pungent to sweet. One may get hints of a floral
berry candy, a more astringent grapefruit citrus, a honeyed
sweetness, or a musky pungency. The flavor is both pungent
and sweet, with a distinct velvety grape flavor and a mild
suggestion of vanilla.
This variety mixes the high profiles of its parents in
sequence, beginning with a strong initial stimulating and
slightly giddy effect that increases inspiration, sensuality, and
appetite, leading to munchies. This is followed by the Quimby’s
more sedate, dreamy sensations that may make napping or
daydreaming much more enticing.
