DJ wanted me to post this.

Aloha to the ICMAG contingent!

DJ here, finally checking in via Red's cut&paste (Thanks Red).

First, Thank you all for the warm welcome and kind words. Also, thank you to Gypsy Nirvana and Dutchgrown for the forum space and IC mag--beautiful publication there Gypsy. I look forward to meeting you both in person someday; hopefully in the not-too-distant future.

Thank you to: WeedWrapperMan, Sunnyside, hazyfontazy, Dr.D., Grat3fulH3ad, resinryder, mosca negra, Brownpants, hilljack, Rellikbuzz, TORC (your grows/pics Rock!), steel savage, glasspackedbowl, JD2005, OHenry, indicalover, BushyOldGrower, csfraziel, Farmer John, bird, Wrecked, baccas125, EcoNepenthe, flying, trichomefarmer (how's CH treating you? drop a line, eh?), BigToke, DrLongbottom, PhatDaddyNugzYo, guineapig (wiggle-wiggle back atcha!), 3legdog, KYHomegrown, estayapi, KRSJuan, DrawoH, I.M.Boggled, JACKBAYBEH, and whomever I may have missed, thanks for the kind words and warm welcome. Looking forward, indeed.

My apologies for the delay in responding. This will be the norm for me for the next few months as I am in the process of another re-location (I'm sure many of you are familiar with the words to that song all too well, eh?). Very busy and focused on tasks at hand and pokers-in-the-fire as well. Hope to be more "settled" by late-winter/early-spring.

Perhaps someone could cut&paste my catalogue/ratios/selection article here or at least a link to it, as it may answer a number of questions. Thank you.

Re: True Blueberry (TB) v. Blueberry (BB) differences--here's my view: The TB is more akin (literally closer related to) my past European offerings but from a much larger selection pool that I had more input toward. It (TB) tends to be larger (taller) and a bit more productive than the BB. The BB line that I have offered for the past 7-8 years is from different f3 stock than the TB (yet still related as all of my stock is from similar ancestry). I call her (the BB) a "stretch-indica" in that she does like to stretch her nodes, but her buds are very compact with larger calyx structure ("golf-ball buds"); whereas the TB buds are generally composed of smaller calyx (more slender, "pointy") yet still with a very dense bud structure ("spade-shaped" with some foxtail stretch) on an indica-looking plant. The BB palate is a more "syrupy sweet", fruity smell (more like candy-sweet) while the TB has a higher-nasal palate with astringent/anise undertones (more of a sinus tickle w/ the bud and smoke flavor). I find the TB to be more "heady", almost racy at first, whereas the BB tends to be more body/narcotic in its initial rush and stone duration. Mind you, there is a "range" to both and the above descriptions are in terms of probability and not exclusive to either strain. That is, there is a higher probability of finding a plant w/ small calyx, tight buds with astringent/anise/berry flavor and a more "up-head" in the TB line, and a higher probability of finding a plant with the "stretch-indica" pheno with dense, golf-ball buds and a more candy/berry flavor/palate and a more narcotic (though not really couch-lock) body in the BB line. Both are equally prone to color changes, especially in colder temps, and I find both to be equally potent. Please note; the BB (and the flo and Blue Moonshine) stock is currently limited and not being reproduced for at least a year or two. So, if you want any of these, heads up! Get them soon as they will will be gone and out of stock for awhile when they are.

Re: Grape Krush (GK) topping--by all means, topping is one of the best ways to physically increase production. It all depends on timing and the type of system that one employs. Because different systems (i.e. light timing, veg. time, nutes, etc.) have different results, use your intuition to best gauge the best time to top. Personally, I prefer a longer veg. time with more root volume, which would put the best topping time prior to the flower cycle.

Re: Moonshine of the Blue variety--nice pics Chuckyoufarley--the purple stems do look sweet--how do they smell when rubbed? Also, 5-gal buckets with soil! Way to go! Good luck and keep us posted, eh?

Re: Choice--f13 is my current fave--a luxurious head, to say the least. Somewhat more subtle and mellow I find. All depends on your preference, really.

Re: LUI -- this one is Red's baby and he is more qualified to answer this one.

Re: Sassy-Frass This is one of Chimera's strains and he would be best suited to answer this question. He does have a help desk at cannabisworld, or perhaps he'll respond here.

Hope this helps.

Thanks once again one and all. Looking forward. Much peace, love and prosperity to you and yours.

Hi DJ. Thank you so much for the compliments and for giving us all a chance to have superior genetics to work with. You are indeed the man.

[rockymtnbuds]

K+ for the great info and the heads up on supply. I've got to get all 3 of the Blues.

Very cool to see you posting and Red pasting. Thanks for the heads up on those Limited things. I'll have to look into another round of BM if she lasts. (As Herb fires up the still) Anyone seen my jug?

WoW, nice to see DJ has made it over here. Been a big fan for a long time. Can't wait to see more of your new stuff. Got some old stock of your Blueberry and i'm looking forward to it. Nice to see you around here DJ. Keep up the awesome job and awesome genes.
Take care,
Billygoat
