Hi all this is a superb thread and although I don’t often add anything to it I do love catching up on it. This is the best thread atm on the cheese topic and seems to be moving to encompass other Uk heirloom skunk cuts.
So here’s some info on the subject of blues. I spent ten years living in Manchester from 98- 2008 and in the 2000’s use to get a lot of blues from the longsight crew. They sourced it from Barnsley not to far from Sheffield. I always asked about this cut as I loved it above all other. These lads weren’t growers though they just slung weight and not into procuring cuts.
In 2011 I starting growing in earnest before this time I was doing intermittent runs of up to ten plants. But form 2011 doing runs back to back for the previously mentioned. I asked about this cut and they gave me a number and the name Rob.
I ran the number up and spoke to Rob. I was a bag of nerves I can tell you. I explained I’d been smoking this herb for years and was it possible to get a cut. He said sure and a week or so met up in Barnsley. To this date the blues cut has been the only cut I have bought, cost me a tenner and got five for backups. I chatted with this fella for sometime and he told me this cut was at leased 15years old and run by his grandfather, father and himself. This was the only cut they grew. I asked if they sourced it online and he said no. They used to do runs of up to 40 boxes at a time.
Anyhow maybe a year or so later down the road. I met hemperor online here and we passed each other a few cuts. One of which was the blues I had and he did a diary I think it was on firestax with dif blues/ livers cuts. My cut he called the Barnsley blues. He also had another cut and I think it was the livers.
The blues and livers are different imho the barnsley cut was a lot more uppy in effect compared with the other cut which was more sedative in its feel. I over a few years I sent Hemp a lot of cuts the my blues which he was passing out to peeps all over.
Now though I would not touch Hemp with a bargepole. For reasons I won’t go into here. There is a reason why he’s been banned from every forum on the net open and private .
I'm hoping to be checking scottys cheese and blues/livers clone to see if it's the same as Brightsides soon,,
Wouldn't it be best to call these different clones and sourcing by specific manes,,, like scottys blues and scottys cheese?
I agree at this point it would probably be easiest to refer to them like that, atleast that way we can try to figure out whos working with what, and whos holding the same, even though they may not realize it etc
Mr Livers was a guy in Sheffield that when we was moving weight daily he had 120 ounce of blues every week for sale Amongst hundreds from the china man. We coined him Mr Livers or John.. I took my link/driver to meet LLP.
I read in some comments from Londinium that B had died.. Maybe it's a different B?
The 1st batch of livers we had was all amber trichomes & had a golden sheen to it.. It got progressively worse.. They used to put 6 large water farms in living rooms & pull 40+ a plant..
This herb went from north to midlands to Manchester & up to Liverpool down to London up to Scotland.. I've never seen a weed move as well except the import we got from Shantibaba partly because of the sheer amount of work, we had to move 100 k a week from Switzerland to keep that link happy. Nobody had seen this work in any of the areas we moved it to or it wouldn't have worked.. We was the 1st doing this..
That blues cost us 140 a zip per k & we moved it to other cities & put the price into grams..
Making 80 an ounce on a single sale..
The import was 80 an ounce for all those amazing strains..
I washed 3 kilos of weed into bubble on Monday.. Times change..
