Dutchberry is, without a doubt, a great go-to strain. It THC levels of up to 27% deliver a mood-enhancing high that leaves users feeling giggly and upbeat at the onset. However, at the comedown, it thoroughly relaxes the body to prepare users for a good night ahead. Not to mention, it is highly therapeutic.
Artizen Cannabis created the Indica-leaning strain using DJ Short’s legendary Blueberry, a highly sought-after herb that combines the best qualities of its diverse genes. Meanwhile, its cerebral stimulation is from the Amsterdam coffee shop staple Dutch Treat.
In spite of its impressive wake-and-bake qualities, Dutchberry is still better off reserved for nighttime use to cap off a long day at work. It provides a subtle rush of energy that rekindles user’s motivation to pursue a light project or finish a task but, once the high is over, one will most likely head on to the couch or flop to the bed for a deep, unencumbered sleep.

Effects
Like other Indica-leaning strains, Dutchberry is a slow starter. Its effects do not start until 15 to 20 minutes after the first two to three puffs. As such, users should pace consumption of the bud. Starting with low dosages will keep the couch-locking Indica body buzz away.

Growing
Dutchberry is a great beginner’s outdoor strain to cultivate in the northern hemisphere. It has a sturdy stalk that can withstand a variety of growing conditions such as strong winds, changes in temperature, and short daylight hours. However, it may need a temporary enclosing to keep it safe in case of an early frost.
Dutchberry Strain Growing
Although it may not need to be topped early, growers can still benefit from pruning the plant indoors. Its compact structure can sometimes harbor moisture that later develops into mold or mildew if the buds are not adequately aerated. By removing certain leaves and installing an effective ventilation system, growers can significantly improve air circulation as well as light and nutrient distribution.
A Sea of Green setup can maximize its yields. Growers can strategically position at least four potted plants per square meter or more. Using a soilless medium like hydroponics will also help deliver nutrients straight to the roots, resulting in faster and higher bud production. Although, if one were prioritizing flavors, then soil is a better option.
Once mature, Dutchberry produces large dense buds that taper on one end. Though each exhibit a lush green with flashes of yellow, growers can bring out its deep purple hues and fiery pistils.
Flowering Time
Indoors
It takes quite a while for Dutchberry to bloom fully. However, the 10 to 12-week wait is well worth it. Once ready for harvest, it produces 12 to 16 ounces of buds per square meter.
Outdoors
Dutchberry blossoms between the last few days of October to the second or third week of November. Growers can expect yields of at least 16 ounces of buds per plant.
