Whitaker Blues by JD Short


JD Short of DJ Short Seeds, Canada
Indica-Dominant
Genetics: Thai x Oaxaca x Afghani
Potency: THC 17%



Generations of breeders within the same family aren’t common in the pot world, but DJ Short’s son, JD Short, has done his family proud with this fantastic indica-dominant strain known as Whitaker Blues. This is a true Oregon heritage cross that connoisseurs and new tokers alike will adore. The mother of Whitaker Blues is a plant referred to as “Quimby” – an old-school, West Coast cut that is reminiscent of a classic, early indica lineage with a strong, sleepy effect on the smoker. The Quimby mother was crossed with DJ Short’s personally selected Blueberry father, making Whitaker Blues 80% indica and 20% sativa in structure.

Whitaker Blues is a stout hybrid with short branching structures and large, compact buds that are loaded with resin. Be sure to check the buds for mold, as their density can give rise to the warmth that mold loves. Growers like this plant’s vigor, productivity, and fantastic violet and blue coloration. This plant finishes in 55 to 62 days and can be grown indoors or outdoors as in the lovely accompanying photographs taken by Sarah from the crew.

Finished buds have a pungent/sweet velvety grape flavor with undertones of vanilla. The high from smoking or eating this bud is pleasantly strong with a slight initial buzz that causes increased appetite and a very relaxed and calm experience. JD Short has done a great job of combining the body-stone effects of an Afghani plant with the gently relaxing Thai and Oaxaca genetics.
