best blueberry on the market?
- Thread starter green_thumb...
- Start date
Ive been growing and smoking BB since 99 but mostly outdoors. Ive grown Djs, Dp's,, Joeys sags, medical seeds, peaks and g13 labs.
For my money, the only option is Dp's offering. Thiswas Dj's original work and the new "blueberry" he offers is made from "completely different genetics" and if you grow it out and know the bb strain, its clear he has used different parents. His original work simply cant be improved upon in my view. Copied at best. The others are a bit different as well
But you need to do a little more research if you expect to get something that taste or smells like bluebberry muffins. All are fruity and it seems the fruitiest, tastiest pheno's are also the deformed and hermied pheno's. Look for varigation and deformed leaf crumpling. Those pheno's tend to yeild far less as well but if taste is what youre after.... Often, the hermaphroditism ebates by the 3rd or 4th clone generation.
most blueberry lovers adore the feel good high from blueberry and then hope they can find a pheno that taste pretty good as well. Somewhere here is grow report where a fellow bought 40 dp fems and grew them out. He had 4 plants in the group that qualified ast having a "muffin taste and smell".
Joey, Sag, dj and some others have focused on the more sativa pheno's to develop which is unfortunate as DJ's original work "blueberry is a mostly indica giggly couchlocker ". Sorry but its true.
my 2 cents

i would not buy anything from DP or Sag even if they had the last cannabis seeds in the world, DP is weak hermie crap, total waste of time and space, and Sag has had soooo many problems lately since they lost their original parents and outsourced their seedmaking to someone else

a well thought out reply i must say....
i have grown enough of DP´s crap to never touch it again, and do a bit of read up on sag and you will see im right, they even put a warning on their femmed seeds

BB from Spliff Seeds seems to be a really nice strain for the price, some tasty phenos have been found in these ones...

well i know for a fact how dp's blueberry regular line is
and a also know what 13 plants of dj shorts blueberry are like !
there not hermie crap , they are legit genetics to be fair !!
there seems to be this bizarre notion that because the dutch police had a bit of a crack down around the 2000's that suddenly every dutch seed bank lost every mother they had, and everything became hermie crap !!!
its absolute nonsense !
the same thing if one or 2 amateur grow reports get a hermie ........................... the seed line is suddenly bunk !!
this isnt directed at you btw , this is just my overall impression from reading the boards in general lol
well growhi, sagarmatha seeds said themself that they had lost their mothers in a raid, and had to recreate everything from scratch, they also said that they had someone else do that for them, and since this most reviews have been rather bad, either bad germ, lots of herms or straight males in femmed seeds, and with so many companies out there i dont see the reason to take the risk of not only wasting money, but growspace and time too
and as for Dutch Passion, i have never grown their blueberry, i have grown their Cali O, hempstar, skywalker and freddy´s best (i´d hate to see his worst) and none of them where very potent or tasty for that matter, thinking about it i have a hard time thinking of something worse i have grown than those DP strains
and the "everything turned hermie crap" didnt start because the police raided the dutch seed companies, but because they all outsourced their femmed seed production to some massive and in my mind rather shady spanish producer

dutch passion have sucked for a long time,, maybe always.. the flo they had back in the day was ok when it came out good but everything else i grew by them was seriously shoddy..
DJs blueberry

Lots of gear that has DJ Short genetics will pop out random Blueberry tasting pheno's. I've got a bunch of LUI X Blue Moonshine F2's that will sport anything from tropical fruity, Blueberry to Vicks-Vapo-Rub smelling plants.
Since DP, Sag, Peak and others BB lines are based on, or at least partially based on DJ's gear, you will find BB tasting plants if you look. Sometimes you get lucky right off the bat, sometimes it takes some digging.

I plan on buying a couple packs of peaks BB for an open pollenation for my own use. He used Sags, DJ's and DP's blueberry long ago to create his, so I can imagine there will be some good that comes from it. I'm just hoping a decent outdoor pheno will be found.
Dp's and Sags ARE dj strains. He gave them to DP and Sag years back. Several are BB pheno's that have been selfed, ( bluehell).
The Blueberry strain has deformites - leaf crumple, varigation, etc, and yes, the occassional male flower. These traits can moderate after several clone generations but ever single quality Blueberry mom ive seen had defromities.
A few male flowers here and there, especially late in the grow is common in the cannabis world in my veiw and of no real consequence to my growroom. True heraphroditism can only be brought on by light leaks or other serious grower error. Ive bought a lot of seeds in 15 yrs but ive yet to buy a pack of hermies.

thanks for the info but if this isn't common knowledge to most people then there might be something wrong!
Ok this one is from out in left field so to speak but truly had the greatest blueberry pancake terpene profile. Close your eyes and it's like a whole stack of them are under your nose. This was a freebie seed from world of seeds called madness. C99x Matanuska Thunderfuck x South American sativa I think was the lineage. Very cozy buzz. Don't hear much about world of seeds, good or bad, but I'm thinking of buying a pack to explore this line.
Damn ^^^^^ thats what im looking for. Something that really nugs up and sports some colors and that smell.
Im still looking...
