Northern Lights × Haze × Skunk × Afghani × Cannatonic × ACDC × Remedy
Dutch Treat CBD is a hybrid cannabis strain with a THC content typically ranging from 6-10% and less than 1% CBD. It originated from the classic Dutch Treat, evolving to offer a gentler experience with a familiar flavor profile. This strain is favored for its mood-lifting qualities and calming effects.
Appearance
Dutch Treat CBD produces dense, conical flowers with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, often appearing frosty due to abundant resin glands. Pistils mature to a tangerine hue, contrasting with the deep green foliage. The buds are typically firm and well-packed, yielding cleanly during trimming.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a bright, sweet pine scent, complemented by notes of candied citrus and cooling eucalyptus. Supporting scents include soft earth and green tropical lift, with hints of crisp conifer and pepper. The flavor mirrors the aroma, offering sweet pine upfront, citrus-candy midnotes, and a cool, herbal finish.
Effects
This hybrid strain is noted for providing calming and uplifting effects. It is often sought after for its ability to promote a sense of well-being without overwhelming intensity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Terpinolene is a dominant terpene, contributing to the strain's distinct aroma, often accompanied by myrcene, ocimene, pinene, and caryophyllene. The cannabinoid profile features THC levels between 6-10%, with CBD content typically below 1%.
Origins & Lineage
Dutch Treat CBD traces its origins to Amsterdam, where the original Dutch Treat became popular in the late 1980s and 1990s. The CBD-rich version was developed by selectively breeding the original with high-CBD cultivars like Cannatonic or ACDC, aiming to retain the signature flavor while moderating the psychoactive effects.
Growing
Cultivating Dutch Treat CBD involves careful selection to stabilize the desired chemotype. The plant typically exhibits dense, resinous flowers. Achieving consistent results requires attention to cannabinoid testing and environmental factors throughout the growth cycle.
