About Blue Lobster
Blue Lobster was bred by Cipher Genetics (Chris Lynch, formerly Compound Genetics) as a cross of Eye Candy and Facade (Apples and Bananas). The strain was hunted and selected by Maine Trees, a renowned New England cultivation team. The buds are spectacular: deep blue and purple colors contrast with bright orange pistils and an absurd coating of white trichomes — some of the best bag appeal in the modern market. The aroma is a complex blend of creamy blueberry gas, tropical citrus, sweet dough, and pine. Effects are euphoric and balanced. Blue Lobster took the competition circuit by storm in 2023-2024, winning awards at Zalympix and Ego Clash, before becoming one of the most sought-after strains in legal dispensaries.
