Yea, it's amazing how real the fresh, real deal blueberry smell and taste cannabis plants can have. ..or strawberry, coffee,lemony or whatever. Sometimes the aromas are very realistic to something not related to cannabis.
Thanks to those of you that have namechecked the BlueDigiberry in this thread
Hey Lester, The digiberry clone itself must be a pure Blueberry afaik, an indica type smelling of Blueberry muffins. The pollen i used was from D.F's bx he made to the clone.
My own blueberry mother is more candy berry and from DP fem line. - so i'm not sure you could really call it a hybrid, more a cross of two pure blueberry clones via a bx to provide the male.
What is certain is that there are numerous blueberry smelling plants in the F2's (both candy and muffin), which have been widely grown.
Admittedly there are also some intersex traits with a few of the plants, but i think that goes with the territory in these lines.

Interesting project you are planning, i will be following.

To piggy back on this comment from VG and to make sure that Lester does in fact have the right information...
100% of all credit for that gene pool goes to Chili_Berkster.
He and I used to hang out in chat and talk for hours. I had a blueberry experience I had enjoyed - a lone 1/8th from a work associate, and such flowers never to be seen again. I was looking for medical lines at the time to address anxiety and stress levels. After talking for many months, Chili started discussing Digi with me and his work and her history.
The Digi clone - is pushing 30+ years old - and Chili does in fact still have her alive and well. It's not 100% known what she is. She is a very finicky plant, that grows like a thai based gene pool, based on her sensitivities, but flowers in 52-55 days. She also, just happens to taste EXACTLY like Blueberry muffins. The smoke lingers in the room to the point someone entering an hour later, having no clue you consume cannabis, will head directly to the kitchen and expect there to be fresh baked homemade blueberry muffins with a lovely crumb topping sitting on the counter.
It's legitimate.
Outside of that though, her effects - border just slightly on the 3rd-eye side of things. It's as if being out of body, observing yourself and the room from a camera positioned up high in the corner some where. Your thought processes and state of emotional awareness are heightened. Stress melts. Anxiety vanishes. Peace and tranquility and this awestruck wonderment with the universe sort of takes over and you just want to go bask in the sun and spin in a field of flowers....
Again, Digi is LEGIT.
Sensitive? Yes. Over feed? Nanners. Light stress? Nanners. Root bound? Nanners. High temps? Nanners. Over-water? Nanners. Flower too long? Nanners.
However, if you are a good grower, she has zero of these issues. She's just a queen who knows when there is a pea under her mattress.
The Digital Berry clone was outcrossed to a male Chili Berkster called Arnold, which was selected from Sour Bubble Bx2 seeds from BOG. He called that line, BlueBubble - and he documented it and several of the outcrosses here on IC in the earlier days. So the Bx1 line, Digi x (Digi x Sour Bubble Bx2).
I spent 3 years sorting the Bx1 seeds Chili had gifted me. I trialed 2 males before I found the one I though was THE FEMALE, I was after. Turned out to be male. I sorted more seeds, discarded more males and then decided to put him to work.
An early trial with non-selective 1:1 pairings showed a consistent pattern across all lines: about 3-4 out of 10 plants had very strong blueberry smells, with another 2-3 having somewhat muted berry / wine smells, mixed in with other notes from the outcross. 2-4 would have a much more indica dominant growth pattern with much heavier/thicker meristems and a more central cola frame. 1 out of 20 or so would have a putrid burnt rubber smell, that was a throw back plant to Arnold. Those plants, tended to be male.
All in all, I learned what to look for, leaning HEAVILY on Chili's input and pointers and tips for finding the best potential parent - and we picked out a great stud. His patience with me, is in part responsible for my willingness to help others make selections, if they post up pictures.
------------------------
When Stank Bros released Carolina Blue x Digi Bx1 - it wasn't quite the cross I hoped it'd be. The two plants, rather than meshing in some beautiful harmony, seemed to fight each other for dominance. The F2's seem to play MUCH nicer than the F1's ever did. That line included like 6 or 7 different blueberry generations in one cluster. The F2's are a potential gold mine.
That being said, I personally feel, the work that VerdantGreen did with is DP Blueberry mom and my Digi Bx1 pollen - has consistently produced, more unique, more stable/grower friendly plants - just all around better plants - than the CB x DB has to date.
That is just my honest opinion. For that reason, Lester, I'd say, for the time being, the best blueberry I currently know of on the market, that WILL produce true Blueberry Muffin phenos and some real exotic old school blueberry calyxes stacked into beautiful flowers - then VerdantGreen's BlueDigiBerry F2 - is a without question, one of, if not THE best contender you will currently find.
