best blue berry or blue strains

I ran through a bunch of dj seeds to and haven't found anything close to the old stock. In the old stock u could find some beautiful plants and very little mutants and mutations now that the line is so inbred it's mutations and mutants galore with a musky, floral a hint of berry but nothing I would consider a keeper.

Also a thing to note about DJ's stock is he lost the male that originally produced the blueberry from the old school. Plus I have heard he doesn't even grow the plants anymore he pays someone to produce the beans that are sold. Even though I am sure dj is involved in the selection process.

Also there was a claim that dj was to remake the blueberry to what everyone wanted and it still hasn't happened yet. It's in a thread somewhere on this site. In no way a dig at DJ he produced one of my favorite strains of all times just I wish he would re-select his lines for the people. If you are paying for a line called blueberry and not find anything blueberry it's kind of dissapointing especially for the price tag. I understand it took many years to develop the line but still.

I'm at week 4 now today and last night I could smell blueberry! It's faint right now but it's definitely there. Still have lots of time to go for it to build I am stoked.

Today I am gonna hit the blueberry sativa with a slew of different pollens from flo-scout, blue ox, ogkb s1 male and fire cookie pollen. The one I am most excited about is the blue ox pollen or the flo-scout hopefully by adding more blue genes to the pool will hopefully bring out blueberry keepers in the beans popped we shall see.

End rant.

I agree with most of what u r saying here mike. But dj doesn't breed for u or me, he does it for his head, if it works for u great, if not, theres plenty of other genetics out there. That's neither good nor bad, just how he choses to do his work.

I don't know about any work on bb or any other lines. It wouldn't surprise me. but I do know that he talks quite a bit about working on a hash line for field crops for future growing. A plant that wouldn't look beautiful for indoor flowers, but a loose structured plant designed for greater trich production. The future is in the medicine in the little ball at the end of the trich.

Blueberry with skunky background notes sounds like my pre2k DJ cut. Floral blueberry sounds like what you'd find in DJ's current stock but didn't find anything sour in there. Sour actually is probably a better description of what's in the BX than acidic, but there's no floral notes just pungent blueberry. Carolina Blue x Digital berry has a lot of sweet bb muffin. Peak's bb was lacking in all departments. Haven't tried Dutch Passion. I heard Loompa is working with a pre-DJ era blueberry cut that's also straight up overwhelming pure blueberry. I'll be on the lookout for that line.

idk.. when dj did his cali dispensary tour back in 08 i think i got a bb cut straight from him that was suposed to be from his BB mother plant, even that was weak sauce. i also grabbed some blueberry sativas from him and was super pleased with that strain and his f13. both are similar but the f13 is more flo line based and the bb sat , more bb. both are blue lines and both were far superior to his straigt BB. go figure. i wish i still had that blueberry sat because i havent had a blue strain as good since then. had the dreadlock fingers coming of the buds . chronic! very smooth, very flavorfull, great daytime smoke! i really want to try his grape krush. have heard great things about it!

that cbdb f1 looks nice. cant wait to see what she spits out

That's the whole reason we're hunting for this particular pheno because while most blueberry the taste is pretty mediocre there is the legend of an old school extremely rare pheno where the taste is off the charts. Perhaps one of the tastiest herbs around. People who have had it will search their entire grow careers until they find it. I'm one of them.

me too bro. ever since i got my first taste of the real blueberry and those magical sacks back in the day has sent me on a chase that has yet to end. grown some pretty good ones but still searching for the winner. gonna grab some bloue moon rocks and roll the dice with them. i know bog, and he is happy with it so im sure ill find one thats halfway decent. . who knows maybe ill find my magic BB

ive never had any trouble from attitude but then again i dont order often and the only seeds worth paying 200 for are aficianado seeds. great line, supreme seeds. you will be happy with whatever strain you pic. unfortunatly they dont have a BB. one day...

blue moonshinesounds good also and if im not mistaken is part of his hiigh thc hash plant strains (or the precurser to those genetics) "Blue Moonshine, steeped in Blue genetics, is one of the many chronic landrace derived strains created by the cultivators over at DJ Short. Putting the Canadian cannabis company on the cultivators’ map during the heady days of the late 80s and early 90s. These hybridized plants expose their Indica dominant characteristics in both their phenotypes and potency (THC%).

Basic Info: Blue Moonshine, true to her convoluted gene pool, is a squat, sturdy and bushy plant. Even when granted the luxury of growing in an outdoor environment, this strain rarely exceeds 3 -5 feet, making her a perfect candidate for indoor cultivation. Generally only reaching about 2 1/2 to 3 feet in height. Blue Moonshine produces a deep, dark and incredibly wide sun-leaf … which ultimately produces some tight, rock hard buds. Coated with a sticky resin and it’s ripening trichomes, the pungent aroma emanating from these plants and their maturing flowers are a hash makers dream come true." dj short description. notice the hash makers dream.

probably not the best tasting if meant to be a hasplant... anyone else have experience with BMS? i think ill stck to the blue moon rocks for now..

I can say 1000000% right now that my blueberry sativa cut is the one I use to run. Just about 30 minutes ago I was dusting her down with the light off with pollen and dusting other plants and rubbed up against her and its straight blueberrys. I had a feeling once I started growing her that it was my exact cut and wasn't reselected its just I didn't wanna say I was a 100% on it but now without a doubt in my mind this is the girl that made me crazy back in the 90's and made me search for my own cut.

Hey MM yes I know dj breeds for what he likes but he also said a few years back that he was gonna rework the line to bring back the blueberry that everyone loved. To me and I mean no disrespect to dj his new lines are inbred shit! They suck yes they are pretty plants to look at when u don't have a full on retards and best used for breeding stock but I was highly upset paying that price tag to not even find something that resembled blueberry at all.

Go back a page and look at my blueberry sativa cut and lemz blueberry cut these are plants that you could find in djs old lines u could easily grow plants out that didn't look like full on retards. Yes u would find some runts back then but nothing like you find today. My cut has 0 mutations and grows absolutely fine yes she doesn't like high amounts of food and also doesn't like to go dry in flower but honestly if dj likes his new line of blueberry more than the old man is he off the charts because everyone I have talked to that has grown his new lines all hated it. His new shit can't hold up to what's out on the market nowadays and that's why I think people get upset paying the huge price tag for shit plants not keeper worthy.

NY blueberry 10+ years ago was one of my favs for taste and social high. If DJ's seeds were more like $80 i'd definitely have grabbed a pack or two by now.

I did acquire 5 Flo beans from someone who bought a pack of Flo at a live cannabis event DJ was at which I am glad I have in my stash. also have some '99 Blueberry x '88 g13/hp which should be fun to grow :D

@mike, I get what ur saying bro. and I want that bb from the past too. I agree again with most everything u said, except that dj is off the charts. What im trying to convey to u is that he is happy with the path he chose for the strain for the effect it has on him. If it helps u medicinally great, if not, well... I know that doesn't change the fact that we all want the old school flavor, but it aint right to hate on somebody for following their own path. u don't like it, c'est la vie! Move on to the next seed pack right. Im truly happy for u to find the old cut though bro, get that shit passed around so it makes it my way eventually!:biggrin: Also u will never have to worry about finding her again if u pass it far enough!

I don't know if u feel the same way I do about the current dj bb. but I want more flavor out of it, like almost everybody, but it does have the euphoric high, with little to no paranoia inducing effects. Pretty much exactly how dj describes it. He does say on the pack that its fruity with blueberry notes. I did find a keeper with a good fruity flavor and blueberry. I am in the stages of testing my keeper again.

@relic, what bb sativa did u get from dj? Ive never seen bb sat seeds in pure form. Maybe a sativa selection, like blue heaven or something. Likely with the timeline u gave, Id say ur talking about vanilluna and cocoa kush. Both are bb sat sisters to the plant on the cover of his book. Both are crossed with the current bb dad that hes had for 15 years, not the old sat dad. both produce some lavender purple hued dense small calyxed, stacked like u describe. Ive got an awesome looking cocoa kush, the licorice, marker, pheno, that is throwing crazy stacked pyramids of calyxes all over the place. Its something else to see. Im almost excited enough from this thread to take some pics of her, but I am trying to hold off on pics till I get moved.

@relic,

u know that dj mom ur talking about lacking the big bb flavor further proves that he selected for his head and not for max bb flavor. Cause I believe that is the same mom from like 25 plus years ago that was crossed with the old bb sat dad, that produced the bb profile we are chasing after. Same mother, so its in there, just not the same dad, so not the same higher % chance of finding the old flavor profile. this is just my opinion of the situation though.

Ok so I haven't replied in this thread in sometime well ill start by saying that my cut from pre 2k era that was found in dj shorts seeds is alive and well. She still have that crazy good vigor roots very easily and she is very sat dom but man you cannot deny her blueberry smell and flavor.

Maybe my homie scrappydoo can chime in to confirm because he actually got to the run the cut as well since I got it back. There is hope people maybe not in the new lines but once I get better situated to where I can take lots of cuts look to a friend near you.

Another route I am gonna be experimenting with her is reversing the white cut to hit her up because the only negatives I can find with her is she needs more frost she has a nice amount but still more would make her great and I would like to increase bud density without risking flavor. Either way even if my projects don't turn out for the best to tighten and frost her up that cut will never leave my stable again.

So all you blueberry lovers out there I can tell you there is hope to get that flavor back into your life just give.me some time and I'm gonna do my best to get this ball rolling. I know personally how hard I looked for a blue cut that stood up to my cut and searched high and low with no luck only to find out she will still right in my back yard. I could never thank the dude enough that loved her that much to hold her down after all these years.

Ok my rant is over and be on the lookout.

I'm trying to get all the old local Blue strains, there are still a few cuts from way back and a very nice Blueberry x Hash Plant that has been held in the valley for a bunch of years, and another strain called Viper my friend got me some seeds out of and said it was black purple and crazy looking...supposedly a blueberry x too!

Anyways, I'd be stoked to get one of the creamy berry tasting phenos... I like that mouth coating flavour, I had a really nice cut like that out of the Big Blue from BCSC back in '97 for a few runs, definitely miss the flavour of some of those old pheno's.

I smoked a white widow a few months ago that brought me right back to '01 when I first tried it too!

Mikenite69 please pass that cut to someone on the florida growers forum. We will keep it and pass it around. I got some real deal blueberry flavored bud around 2003 or 4 in the orlando area. It was 20 per gram and sold in glass vials. Tasted so good I questioned that they didnt flavor it somehow.

Yes Mike please share your plant as it's almost like pure blueberry is extinct.

i second p-nut on sending it to the florida growers thread as they are generous about getting it around or send it to me and i will pass it around that thread for sure

I was lucky enough to come across some real deal Blueberry s1 seeds years ago. This stuff was it. The pure blueberry. Plants were blue hued in full flower. Some of the Stickiest flowers Ive ever had, dead on BLUEBERRY. I can say in all seriousnous, id give my left hand for this cut again. I lost it to a junky thief. He destroyed the plants shortly after stealing them.
I have some dabney Blu x paki I made years ago. The paki male came to me straight from the source. US infantry was able to snag a cpl handfuls of these beans during a raid, and sent them home. I was blessed with about a dozen of these beans, which I made a bunch of hybrids of before losing it also. I lost these aswell but thankfully some of the seeds I gifted have made their way back to me. I will be reproducing these seeds this year.

nice sounds good^^^^I agree Mike should def s1 that girl....Finding a good blueberry can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. I can't say Ive searched but Ive had the chance to grow some stellar examples. I also smoked some that we're a big disappointment.

In our area we have a old stretch indica/golf ball phenotype that yields really well. vegs out of control and done 55-60 days w/ strong blueberry and fruits terps. very loud weed.

Recently I got a blueberry cut I thought was o's/pre 2k and it wasn't and I'll be damned cause the new one is an electric sativa beast that smells like blueberry candy, astringent, and musk. A keeper!

real quick, and don't bash me for this, but a friend got a " blue hell" cut (BB s1) from medical seeds out of the RI med scene and its was a really good blueberry . I know they are one of those sketchy spanish seed banks but the cut they had was really nice and a strong grower.

Hey mike - outcrossing to the White is not a bad idea at all. It just depends on how the mother plant breeds as to whether you should use the white as the pollen donor or as the mother. It makes a bit of a difference.

You know the work I've done well enough to know I worked with a blueberry male, ie Digi Bx1 and the White was used as the mother in this pairing.

the White x Digi Bx1

This particular pheno had a mild and faint blueberry smell. I only sprouted 5 seeds to see what was in the line and only one was female. It was a good enough indication though to know for sure the proper terpenes had been passed as was often the case with that particular male.

Good luck on the hunt, everyone!
