Blue Lobster

Offered as flower in five amounts, from 1 g to 1 oz, Blue Lobster is a strain Leafly files as a hybrid and AllBud rates at 60% indica to 40% sativa, a slight indica lean.

Cipher Genetics’ cross, Maine Trees’ pick

Leafly describes a collaboration: Cipher Genetics bred the original cross of Apples and Bananas with Eye Candy, and Maine Trees found the plant, gave it its name and popularized it. AllBud gives the same two parents, spelling the first one Apples N Bananas. Leafly lists two offspring, Blue Zangria and Blueberry Lobster.

Leafly also records three awards at the 2023 East Coast Zalympix (Gassiest, Best Terps and runner-up for Best Overall) and a nomination for its Strain of the Year 2025.

Periwinkle tints under heavy frost

Leafly pictures deep green flowers tinged dark periwinkle beneath a heavy coat of frost. AllBud writes of dense, long buds shaped like grapes, forest green with amber undertones, very thin orange hairs and a sparkling layer of amber-tinted trichomes. One AllBud reviewer found the buds tight and darker than usual, with bits of purple showing under cool light.

Blueberry candy, tart apple and lemon

Leafly sums up the terps as blueberry candy layered with grape. Its flavour tags are plum, apple and blueberry, and its summary of reviews adds mint. AllBud’s nose opens on citrusy lemon over tart Granny Smith apple and sweet blueberries, while the taste it describes is sugary blueberry candy with fresh apple and a tangy citrus kick. A Leafly reviewer who tried a cut from a different producer found the taste mild, with little fruit, so the flavour can vary by cut.

Limonene leads Leafly’s terpene figures, ahead of myrcene and caryophyllene; our limonene primer explains what that citrus terpene is. Steven De Guzman’s tip in our Blue Lobster guide builds on a review that compared the strain to grapes and blueberries steeped in cran-apple juice and topped with lime zest: pour a cold cran-apple juice with fresh lime to go with it.

Reported effects and a THC figure near 27%

Leafly reviewers most often report feeling euphoric, relaxed and talkative, and Leafly’s review summary mentions long-lasting effects. AllBud describes a high that settles in quickly with a lifted, warming euphoria, and its effect tags include sociable and uplifting. Users rate the strain 4.7 from 59 ratings on Leafly and 4.9 from 35 votes on AllBud.

Leafly shows THC around 27%, higher than the average strain, while AllBud’s range is 26% to 30%. Health Canada‘s lower-risk advice starts a first try at a puff or two of cannabis at 10% THC or under, and says smoked cannabis can need as long as half an hour to reach its peak.
