VeryBerry by Green Hornet Seeds
VeryBerry (Blueberry x Strawberry) is an indica hybrid developed by Green Hornet Seeds for outdoor cultivation. I gave them a go indoors and they did quite well but the main thing which should be noted when growing them indoors is that they are very low yeilders. I don't know if they yeild more outdoors but I imagine so...I just can't say how much more.
Some notes on my methods of cultivation and setup:
As said above, I'm an indoor grower, in soil, and organic to the extreme, which means I give my plants the least amount of (100% organic) nutes possible and only when my plants seem to require it. I use a 400W Philips SON-T Agro in a cool tube for lighting, and the plants are placed under the 400W from start.
Nutes and Supplements
Bull's blood (pure nitrogen - used in veg)
Plagron Algae Grow
Plagron Algae Bloom
Plagron Phyt-Amin (minerals, vitamins, amino-acids used both in veg and in bloom)
Epsom Salts and an iron supplement
GH Ripen to finish them off and flush the soil, used 14 days before end of flower
Some grow notes:
Gorgeous plants, extremely easy to grow.
I planted three seeds, and got one female and two males. One of the males was a gorgeous trifoliate which never lost this interesting trait.
All of my plants are vegged until they reach sexual maturity, presenting both alternated branching and preflowers before going 12/12. These were vegged 32 days.
The plants flowered for 53 days, then were given 72 hours darkness before meeting their maker :wink:
The female produced many golf ball shaped nugs, rock hard, and a beautiful purple-blue color:
Smoke Report
The buds have been cured for a month in jars, after a drying process 15 days long. As stated in the opening notes, this plant grown indoors is a very low yeilder.
Appearance:
Pale green in color, the blues in flower are no longer present. The nugs are covered with very visible trichs, and long fairly dark brick colored hairs.The buds are rock hard, and I am not kidding....though the plant yeilded little, the buds are so dense that a small popcorn bud fluffs up enough to yeild a nice joint.
Smell:
Once broken open the buds have a very strong smell of killer pucker 'em up lime, very fresh, with a hint of wild strawberry, pungent and very pleasing.
Taste:
The taste is not impressive IMO...the wonderful smell unfortunately has not carried on to the taste, which I find somehwat anonymous. Subtle flavor of leather, with just a hint of strawberry, persistent sugar aftertaste. Fresh, as you would imagine the taste of air. Not harsh at all...a smooth smoke, but as I said, the taste is nothing special.
High:
The high is pleasant...but nothing more than that....I am not a heavy smoker, but after half a joint smoked by myself the high was just perceptible. It does creep some, but is not at all intense, just sort of a pleasant feeling. I felt alert, not tired, nice buzz which left me perfectly able to function...could be an excellent daytime smoke....left me feeling fresh and happy. I wouldn't recommend this strain for those who love a brain whack or couchlock type stone.
All in all, nice weed...but that's about it.
In fairness to Green Hornet Seeds, please keep in mind when reading this report that this strain was made for outdoor growing, and more than likely all of the above variables and impressions change when growing this plant in its recommended environment.
My unbiased opinion as pertains to growing this one indoors is that though its pleasant and pretty and easy to grow, it is not exceptional weed at all. It is nice. Period. If you give her a whirl indoors don't expect more than nice, and you'll be happy. Expect great, and you'll be disappointed.
The entire grow of the VeryBerry is documented in the thread linked to my signature below, "Blue's Triple Test +2"
