Mother of Berries

I hate to be that guy, but I was talking to someone who says he gave Electric Stoner his cut of MOB about 10 years ago. Goes by the name Fire Garden Pharms Genetics. He tells me that he knows Electric Stoner, and that the story of his family being the originators of the cut is total BS. Electric Stoner was given the cut because FGPG (I'm abbreviating) was dating a chick who had a destructive kid who liked to uproot plants for fun. Not sure WTF the kid was doing near his garden but whatever. Says Electric Stoner was supposed to give him the cut back recently, but never did. So though I can't prove this is true or not, he definitely knows Electric Stoner because he knows his name (I know his name too btw). No hard feelings on my part for Electric Stoner, (well there are some because he broke his word to me) but if he's BSing people, then I don't find that to be right. Not to mention all the people he promised seeds and cuts to, only to ghost them. I could go on, but this is a MOB thread.

I also saw where Matt Riot was claiming that Riotberry v4, which is MOB x Blue Bonnet, was actually (Mendo Purps x Blueberry) x Blue Bonnet. He claims that the cut circulating the community as MOB isn't. I also went to Phylos to see what they had to say (not that they are 100% trustworthy but I don't think one should toss the baby out with the bathwater either) and apparently DC Seed Exchange (who's a friend of Electric Stoner) submitted a MOB cut in 2018 to be tested. Phylos said it was closely related to Mendo Purps. So I really have to wonder.

I asked FGPG about it, and of course he poo pooed it as total BS. He said he got the cut about 15 years ago, which doesn't really mean anything. Anyway, I'm wondering what people's thoughts on all of these things are. I want to get to the bottom of what cut I actually have. I was told it's the original MOB. But I'm definitely wondering now.
 
Now defunct Highrise seeds sold S2’s, I thought they were decent, but the hybrid I made with them showed tons of Mob phenos and new novel phenos also. There is definitely a recessive herm trait in the line. But outdoors, no problems with herms.

Having grown Mendo Purps x bubblegum and bubblegum S1’s the Mendo purps throws a lot of those dark, berry, earthy terps you see in the purple side of Mob. The only other plant I’ve seen that made me think MOB!… would be curious to grow the Mendo purps S1’s.
Oh shit, yeah here we go. Now we are getting somewhere.

Never seen any herms in high rise MOB genetics.

I've been growing MOB OG indoors for years which is highrise MOB x GDP Ken's OG

I remember KRK or someone saying he got his cut out of Maine that was held by a family for 20 years and that had to of been 7 years ago. So 27 years ish i guess now. Also mentioned they're only one with legit cut, unless of course they gave it out after KRK.

Someone should ask KRK.

Mendo purps was winning cups in 2007/2009 so the years mob held in maine almost lines right up with mendo purps.

It was around 2017 I think I was listening to KRK talk about it being held for 20 years at that point.

Does mendo taste/smell like berries?

Edit: They say piney or pineapple like terps.

MOB is berry terps. Which is what dj short describes in his blueberry.

I would ask him, but don't know where he is. He left the other club a while back.

I read that Mendo Purps is grapey and piney. But it's not like MOB would be a Mendo P S1. It's part Blueberry. And I'm not sure how Mendo P breeds. If Matt Riot is saying that the cut going around as MOB is Mendo P x Blueberry, I'm inclined to believe him because I'm assuming that Notsodog (the one who found Mendo P in 1998) agrees with that.

I grew Mendo P x GHASH from Bodhi a while back, and there were definitely a couple of spicey piney ones. But there was also one that was straight berry and grape. I'm pretty sure KRK never had the real MOB either. Only S1. If he did, he selfed it twice, because he has only ever released S2.

The last few posts raise some interesting concerns and questions. I'm not the guy to make any claims of what is or isn't, "real MOB" but I'm interested in the conversation.

I did make a few seeds this summer outdoors using a male from Dirty Worms farms MOB BX and the "cherry pheno" MOB cut I acquired a few years ago. I don't know for sure, but I suspect the cherry pheno Mob, may be an s1 of the original Mob. (At least I hope it is :) )

I've labeled the progeny "86% mob" for my own records and just put 3 unsexed small ones in flower indoors. Hoping for a decent male to hit my cherry pheno Mob again to make some "93% Mob" regular seeds.

It's funny, I could be playing with two iterations of the real Mob or maybe not. Both the cherry pheno and the Dirty worms Mob BX finished in September (maine) outdoors and had decent mold resistance this past year. Whatever I have, if the 93% I hope to make this winter perform outside in 2025, I'll probably make more seeds.

The Dirty Worm Mob BX was 75% Mob and 25% blueberry according to the breeder description. Only ran 2 small testers outside, but it was decent smoke with decent structure etc.
