CBDutch Treat

I can't comment on the taste and effects of this harvest yet but if it is anything like the last batch of CB Dutch Treat, it is a smooth smoke that tastes earthy and creamy and can be smoked anytime of day. The CBD is fantastic for my anxiety and keeps me calm and worry free. The THC is low enough that I can function as normal without couch lock or paranoia. It is also great a few hours before bed to keep me asleep through the whole night. The buds are dense and very sticky. While I had one of two this time around grow very awkward, it actually provided larger, denser buds.

This was a fun, easy grow. Already prepping to plant two more. Next time I will top at 4 weeks rather than five. I have never tried main-lining/manifolding but next grow with the same seeds I am going to try it.

This review is for Crop King’s CBDutch Treat from seed. This is reported as 4%THC and 8%CBD and this is reflected in a mild and relaxing high (and a friend reports medicinal effects from batches I’ve grown). The taste and smell has been consistent, as cream, mixed with peaches, maybe a tad tropical, very pleasant. The genetics produces a fast growing plant, very vigorous. Easily cloned. The buds get big and dense, but not rock hard. Moreso spongy, and the product sheds hairs easily. I can see that it is a big yielder which is great. This time around the buds were a bit lighter, plus more below. The tradeoffs with this grow were mold and yield. First, a big splotch of mold on a main bud (see week19). I did have some humidity spike, but the area was on top, with plenty of fresh air. Disappointing. To add, I also have an outdoor CBDutch Treat outdoor GrowDiary that also was cut short due to mold. So this strain is weak to mold. Too this point, I ended up throwing out the moldy crown, I didn’t try to cut it out. It was very large and would have boosted my yield easily over 30grams. 5-8 grams would be a conservative estimate and that would put me near my average per plant. I’d also suggest that I am picky during harvest and compost that isn’t fully developed or dense. That said, 28grams is not going to cut it, I will look to improve that. I cut up all the buds for drying as opposed to hanging, and it ended up being a serviceable crop. Very useful for mornings or before work, less intense than other strains. Working from my top CBDutch Treat rating I would subtract one for the mold and one for the subsequent loss of yield, thus 6/10.

This is my second experience growing Crop King’s CBDutch Treat, and has a story to it so please consider the description when seeing the rating (5stars). Started off as a clone, and transplanted outdoors. One of the first things noticed about CBDutch Treat is that it is a super grower. It stretches, and gains size very quickly. The main stem was larger than a coin very quickly. This plant did great in a cooler, Canadian Maritime climate. I have far less experience growing outdoors and did not realize that plants can be so photosensitive! It was producing buds by July, immediately after the longest day of summer. I have been told that Afghan varieties can be sensitive to flower at anything less than 20/4 hours of light/dark. So CBDutch Treat triggers immediately in Canada, this plant will be huge quickly, and have buds by July/August. I think that harvest may be in September. I was really thrown off by this timeline. Online I can only find the indoor timeline, and no outdoor prediction. A quick finisher is ideal for short summers, however, the tradeoff is that you have massive buds very early. When we experienced heavy rains, the temperatures were still warm, which enables more mold and microbes. Partway through flower, at the end of August, I noticed the plant had mold. The massive, huge buds had brown splotches of spores, and the sugar leaves were dying outwards. Considering I had other plants, I made the decision to harvest early (ultimately it may not have been as early as thought, to the points above). Gigantic buds were cut open to reveal bad chemistry that you don’t want to vape - lots of rotted bud was trashed. My final yield is comparable to most of my other grows, so this plant would have broken personal records. The buds, though white still, turned to orange over the course of the dry and cure. The smell is sweet, of peaches, or cream. This taste persists when vaping, and has been the same through multiple CBDutch Treat Plants. This strain tastes reaaaally good. Because it is a CBD strain it has 4%THC and 8%CBD. Its light, and perfect for before work, tasks, serious things, or edibles. The effects are slightly energizing. Because I harvested early, it seems a bit different then my first plant. So I expect the effects/potency could vary. Overall, with a lack of information on outdoor flowering, the total surprise of full buds before September, and then mold so easily ... I can’t really give it a good rating. However, I would still approve growing it - it is a unique, effective strain with a great taste.

This is my first experience with Crop King’s CBDutch Treat. This clone was given to me as almost fully grown so I can only speak to the latter veg. , and flowering stages. Growth is very vigorous and strong with this strain, this is a “tie breaker,” it literally will snap its LST restraints. The stretch period is large and so accounting for a tall reaching size is required. Massive buds form the length of the branches/nodes, making massive crowns that were essentially the size of my forearm. The bud details are subpar: really stringy, hairy, with lots of orange. The cured product sheds very easily and makes a big mess. However, the buds were very dense. I harvested mid way through the 8th week of a recommended 9 week flowering period. The smell is very pleasant: peaches, or cream, a light tropical that does hold up through the first times through the vape. Smell was abundant in growing and in consuming. This plant triggers to flowering very fast once being moved. Some plants vegging seem to already try to grow buds, and I have an outdoor version that has massive clumps of bud where none of my others have even started. Very fast process that may be ideal for some. The effects are mild, which is the selling point for me in select cases. This strain has projected 4%THC, and 8%CBD, so it is not concussive; it may be too weak for some. Excellent introductory or beginner weed. This makes for a really nice morning smoke as you definitely get high but not wasted, and you don’t lose energy as quickly through the day. It is an ideal pre-school/pre-work/pre-activity/etc. strain, saving stronger stuff for recreation. I do not suffer from chronic pain so it is hard to tell how much CBD there is. I plan on trying to make some edibles out of this more mild product.
