Heisenberg Shatter Blue Cheese

This Heisenberg shatter, a glassy and translucent extract, is named for Blue Cheese, a strain that AllBud says took both its name and its blue theme from a Blueberry father.

Big Buddha, a Blueberry male and Skunk #1 roots

Big Buddha Seeds is the breeder named in our Blue Cheese guide. On Leafly, the cross is a Blueberry male paired with a female of the original UK Cheese, and Leafly adds that this Cheese is itself a phenotype of Skunk #1. AllBud describes the Cheese family as a largely British affair, yet says Blue Cheese is seen most in Colorado and along the West Coast.

The line continues past Blue Cheese: Leafly names Triple Cheese and Purple Cheese as offspring, and its growing note says the plant does best where the climate is cool.

Indica lean, potency and ratings

Leafly classes Blue Cheese as an indica and calls it an indica cross; AllBud’s split is about 80% indica to 20% sativa, an indica dominant hybrid. Leafly’s numbers are THC near 18% and CBG near 1%, with a potency rating above the average strain; AllBud has THC at 20%. On Leafly, 2,858 ratings average 4.2; on AllBud, 97 votes from 71 reviews average 4.7.

Brittle when cold, then dabbed or crumbled

Shatter is the glass-like member of the extract family: see-through, and stiff enough in the cold to snap apart in pieces. Most people dab it or break off small bits to crumble over flower. Our shatter and wax comparison looks at the texture, stability and use of each.

Health Canada on shatter and on driving

In Health Canada‘s lower-risk advice, shatter is called out by name as a high-THC extract, part of a group it tells beginners and infrequent consumers to avoid. Its lower-risk guidelines ask drivers to hold off for 6 hours, if not longer, once they have used cannabis.
