From 8 female blueberries grown from seed 4 were boring lowdown indica stone 1 quite zippy and 3 quite up and they put a smile on your face I like the last three and will save them for breeding.Oldtimer Buds from the two blueberry keepers are my most popular, although not most potent. The smoke is soo clean and sweet. It's like it actually clears your sinuses but with a sweet berry flavour. When being transported, it doesn't attract as much attention as my other main strains. Vic High I would not recommend blueberry unless you want to become an experienced grower quickly. Blueberry, although a quality plant, will test a beginner's ability. It's usually the first plant in my garden to tell me that I'm doing something wrong. If your a beginner, why not go with a proven such as NL5? VicHigh I would have to say to give Blueberry a shot. I received mine from BC Seeds, WOW. I used to grow with stash seeds. No more. Blueberry in 65 days budding time produced 1.8 Oz per s.f., with 55 watts per s.f., vented highly. The strength and the taste were a 10 on 1-10 with skunk #1 being a 5. BCGA: Blueberry and It's Yields Blueberry - 10 seeds purchased from Marc Emery at Hemp BC. Reported to have been supplied by Sagarmatha Seeds. Reported to be mostly indica plant 2 - 3' high that matures in 45 - 55 days. Reported to produce large crystalized buds with natural occurring blueish hues and an unmistakable berry taste and aroma. Of the ten seeds, I got 5 males and 5 females. They all started out looking very deformed with wrinkled leaves and variegation. At first I thought it was do to excessive inbreeding but later found out that the strain was treated with cholchicine. Two males and one female were precocious and would not stop flowering regardless of light cycle. These were discarded. Of the remaining 3 males, two would not shed pollen (they would flower but the pollen would not drop). These were also discarded. The fifth male (BL-9) was by far the most robust and fortunately did shed pollen. It was used to pollinate select mothers. Two of the females produced great buds that didn't smell like blueberry so seeds were collected (BL-9 was father) and then discarded. The final 2 females were what I was looking for (BL-8 & BL-10). Very robust and they produced the sweetest berry like smoke. Clones of both were kept as mothers and seeds produced with BL-9 as the father. These clones mature at about 3 feet tall. with a few side branches. All deformities have disappeared in mature plants and successive clones. They have very thick stems. The main colas are about 12" long with tight crystalline oval buds. They appear to be well suited to sea of green application. They have a high calyx to leaf ratio. Buds are bluish and purplish and smell like such sweet blueberries. They are not my most potent strain but are my favorite. The smoke is very sweet and good tasting and the high is uplifting and pleasant. Yield Trials To date, the blueberrys have been grown to 18 to 24 inches, placed into bud, and finished at about 36 inches, yielding about 1 to 1 1/2 ounces per plant. They have been grown in 5 gal grow bags containing the super soil mix . To try to figure the best pruning method, the following trial was conducted. Started with 35 clones (18 BL-8 and 17 BL-10) that were placed into 5 gal grow bags containing the super soil mix. When they reached 20 inches, 13 were placed into flower (Group A) while the remaining 22 were pruned back to 12 inches. When these 22 clones reached about twenty inches, 10 were placed into flower (Group B). The remaining 12 (Group C) were pruned back to 18" and placed into flower when they reached 20". These clones were grown amongst other clones in a 12 by 12 area lit by 2 1000w HPS and 1 1000w MH on a fast moving suncircle. One HPS was in a horizontal reflector, one in a vertical reflector and the MH was in a parabolic reflector. This worked out to about 20w per sq ft. All weights are dry weights unless otherwise specified. Group A harvest: Harvested main colas and then let the rest of the plant continue for a week so that the lower buds would fill out. tops = 8.52oz rest = 3.55 total = 12.07oz mean = .92oz per plant Each plant took up 1.5 sq ft for a total of 19.5 sq ft. This means that I yielded .61oz per sq ft. by growing theplants in their natural form (no pruning). Group B harvest Harvested main colas and then let the rest of the plant continue for a week so that the lower buds would fill out. tops = 10.02oz rest = 9.15oz total = 19.17oz mean = 1.9oz per plant Each plant took up 1.5 sq ft for a total of 15 sq ft. This means that by pinching the tops, I yielded 1.28 oz per sq ft. This is a 109% increase at a cost of 2 weeks veg time. If the entire 12 by 12 area was filled in this way, a total of 1.28 * 144 = 184.32oz (11.5 lbs) would be produced by just 3 lights. This works out to be about 3.8 lbs per light over a 7 week flower period. Pretty efficient for a low yielding stain such as blueberry!!! Didn't even use CO2! In order to get an idea what wet bud yields I weighed some colas after they were manicured but wet and still on the stalk (just prior to hanging to dry). They weighed 46.2 oz. After drying and removing the stalks they weighed 10.02oz. This means that dry weight = 22% of wet weight. Group C Harvest: I harvested these all at once as there were no big main colas. I got a total of 7.75 oz and an average of .64 oz per plant. Each plant took up 1.5 sq ft for a total of 18 sq ft. This means that by pinching the tops twice, I yielded .43 oz per sq ft. This is definately NOT the way to go." -BCGA Bank- Dutch Passion Supplier- Jock Started with 5 seeds. A cracked seed, the only damage on delivery of batch 1 and 2, still germinated but kicked it about 4 days after sprouting. Of the 4 remaining 3 were female. The sprouts started a little on the twisted side but grew out of the awkward looking chit pretty quick. All 4 plants were very similar in both growth and appearance prior to flowering with the exception of one that had more oval shaped leaves than the others. The rest were typical indica shaped leaves, wider and rounded on the leaf blade serrations. Once the plants went to flower differences were seen. Oh yeah. These plants had a mutually shared stink while vegging too. Note: The male developed leaf mold and since it was the only plant of many to show a weakness to mold its history. Of the three females two were keepers, for now, while the other was weak, and weak is a kind word. 1- The most prolific grower during flower with decent branching when trained and it produced the most bud. Having the most bud of these 3 isn't much of an accomplishment for any respectable plant though. Plant was harvested at approximately 50 days. Buzz was slightly higher than average for this age. For a bud description see 2. Note: For a reference point a typical commercial weed is considered below average in buzz. 2- Was the most compact grower of the bunch with little branching. Again yield wasn't impressive but... the buzz was. Buzz was better than average and was different and very promising. That's the best that can be done since it was only smoked a couple of times from seed. This plant finished very early, approx. 38 days. The short flowering time was likely due to the size of the plant, very small. It's likely to take longer when bigger and getting more light, it was on the edge and shaded somewhat this go round. Buds on this and 1 look the same. White pistils and a heavy covering of resin. The plants grow small buds at every node that were pretty tight considering they lived on the edge of the grow. More veg time under white light would help this plant to pick it up in the yield department I suspect. As far as all the colors DP advertises on the web page. Maybe its colorblindness or something but all that's seen is deep, dark and flat green right now. But if you look at the buds when the light is at a certain angle they do look like they have a blue tinge? it's due to the reflection of the resin glands and the deep green color. Maybe as it gets older it'll start showing its psychedelic side. For now if you really want blue weed: You could make believe whenever that lighting angle is achieved that you got it and maybe take a picture. Note I suspect like many plants this plant will show colors outdoors if it does show colors. 3- This plant grew well and would have had an acceptable yield except it slacked when the time came to produce resin. Slack isn't even the word it's more like failed. It almost literally had zero resin. Because the other 2 were nice plants this one was given a second chance before meeting its maker. Make the grade when grown from clone it didn't. Meet its maker it did, good riddance. Aroma: These babies stink. They smell when they're young seedlings, vegging, rooting and flowering. The smell from just 2 vegging plants, 1 and 2 caused more noticeable odor than half the same grow filled with flowering NL x Shiva's. No. They didn't smell like blueberries to me but did have something added to the sweet skunky indica odor that has a berry quality to it. It is becoming stinkier as it ages too. For those of you that have friends that are impressed with smell this would be a winner. Max security calls for paying big time attention to odor control in the grow with these. Except of course for 3 which doesn't smell like anything but the lawn. This weed would present a packaging challenge if you need to move it for some unknown reason - Buzz: As stated the two remaining plants had better than average potency for this age. Both were definitely indica types buzzing with 2 being somewhat unique with a heady floaty type thing going on. More later when they're older but I will say the buzz has some unique qualities compared to everything else worth keeping more than likely. Taste: Distorted by feeding. Not bad not memorable but there is something there that is different. There is some kind of berry taste about in the mix but we'll see. Yield: Below average at best. Comments: Both 1 and 2 will be kept until older and decisions will be made on who stays and who goes then. This decision will be made on buzz and as far as 2 goes how long it takes to mature. If it shows an early harvest when grown from clone it may be kept for a cross or two in a search for surprises.-flick I hadn't planned to use Blueberry as my outside crop this year, it just sort of happened. It turned out to be a plant useful outside in this climate, with some qualifications. The seed came from Marc, and all individuals appeared to be the same. I ended up using clones from two different females, but the plants were not distinguishable. The plants were relatively slow growing, and formed tall, loose, open bushes (until height restrictions forced cut backs). The stems started right off turning red-purple, a nice addition to the camouflage, as the eye reads the color as bark from a distance. The fan leaves were a medium green, thinner than an indica, but not sativa thin. They stood out straight from the plant on thick purple stems, drooping gracefully. The plant was normal in its resistance to mites, that is, not very. I did use a fogger a couple of times, not for the poison, but for the reproductive chemicals, and that was fairly successful. I'll do it again next year. On the other hand, the plant was as mold resistant as anything I've grown. It did develop a couple of grey mold spots in the middle of October, and I pulled the plug about two weeks before full maturity. Good thing, as the weather turned impossible (50's, constant wet), before nature laughed at us with a late Indian summer this week. The flowering period was amazing! The buds were purple from the get-go, with small lime-green hairs. The older the plant got, the more it became purple, all the way down to the fan leaves. What a beauty! The smell was not sweet, rather it was skunky; mild, and not noticeable from a distance. It's safe for backyard growing. Now, there were some problems. First, of course, it did not mature when it was suppose to (September). There may be many reasons why (I'm working on it), so it's too soon to tell if it was my fault or just the plants nature. In Seattle, if this plant performs as it did this year, it wouldn't work most years. But I call it stalwart, because it was undaunted by several rainy periods in late September and early October that would have melted other contenders, and was mold free almost to the end. Second, the production. Blueberry isn't known for production, and I only cleared 9 dry ounces (very closely manicured) from four 5 1/2 ft. tall plants, each with 10-15 main flower spikes (after being cut back a couple of times), and a couple of much smaller plants with three flower spikes. That's piss poor in anyone's book. Another two weeks probably would have added 2-3 ounces, maybe (a guess). I didn't weigh the skuff, maybe another 3-4 ounces (gland covered only, I didn't screw around with partially coated leaves). Finally the high, or lack thereof. Oh, it's strong, not quite as potent as others I've smoked, but it gets the job done. But jeez Louise, the stuff is absolutely the stupidest pot I've ever smoked. It doesn't last very long, about two hours, and it doesn't have a nice mild let down, like my sweet indica homey for instance. You can sleep on the letdown, but I wouldn't call it sleepy pot at all, just, duh!, stupid. Maybe these particular plants had different genetics, I don't know, as I haven't seen this pot described as a downer before. It has an nice initial head rush, but after that, try to remember your Mom's maiden name and deliver it to your vocal cords in any kind of reasonable order. So, what is this stuff good for? Gland hash, I'm thinking (varietal differences are greatly washed out in gland hash). I couldn't see smoking the pot that much. I don't like the high as much as any of my other pots. It definitely isn't daytime or driving pot, no way, and it's not narcotic enough to be a sleep pot. It does taste lovely, as advertised, but so what? Aside from the great beauty of the flowering plant, which is just wonderful, I don't see what the fuss is about. To the skuff machine with it. cha cal Just a thought - some people may wonder why some blueberry isnt blue, but in my experience, you get more bluey purple when you grow with cold nights...
