Blue Lobster
Overview
Blue Lobster is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created by Compound Genetics through crossing Apples and Bananas with Eye Candy. This remarkable strain has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community, winning three awards at the East Coast 2023 Zalympix including Gassiest Flower, Best Terps, and runner-up for Best Overall. The strain was notably cultivated and popularized by Maine Trees, giving it particular fame in the Northeast United States cannabis scene.
Blue Lobster presents visually striking buds with deep green hues tinged with dark blue and purple undertones, heavily coated in crystalline trichomes that create a frost-like appearance. The strain features vibrant orange pistils that provide a fiery contrast against the cooler tones, making it a visually stunning cultivar. The buds are typically dense and medium-sized with a soft, chunky texture that's characteristic of quality indica-dominant genetics.
The strain's complex terpene profile creates an extraordinary aromatic experience described as blueberry candy mixed with grape, accented by notes of fresh apple, citrus zest, and subtle gassy undertones. Users report flavors ranging from fruit punch and cranberry-apple juice to more exotic descriptions of tropical fruit salad with hints of mint and lime zest. This unique flavor profile has made Blue Lobster highly sought after among cannabis connoisseurs who appreciate complex terpene expressions.

Growing Information
Blue Lobster is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for cultivators with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and reaches harvest in early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 600 grams each under optimal conditions. The plants prefer controlled indoor environments with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) and moderate humidity levels of 40-50% during flowering. Outdoor cultivation works best in warm, sunny, Mediterranean-like climates with well-draining soil. Growing techniques such as topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and ScrOG (Screen of Green) are recommended to maximize yields and promote even bud development. Plants typically remain compact to medium height, making them manageable for most grow spaces.
