I gotta say I'm not as excited as I first was about these DJ Short Blueberry seeds I recently ordered. I had heard rumors that DJ had lost the original Blueberry father and that I would not be able to find the Blueberry muffin pheno. I'm starting to believe it. I also thought that Subcool had purposely stressed his Blueberry plants out with his super soil just to make a point. Now that you are getting the same results I'm not so sure. I'm still stoked to have a pack of seeds from DJ but I'll be pretty bummed if I can't find a keeper. Thanks again for doing this journal. It is of very high caliber!

Thank you for your kind words.

I don't use super soil, although my method and recipe is very similar to Subcool's Super Soil.

However, I used less than 25% of my base concentrate in this method, and the rest was roots organic; nutrient stress is not a factor here.

What you see is the current genetics at work, and I honestly feel as though they may have been compromised.

I hope DJ himself sees my thread, as well as others, and hopefully understands the caliber of product he is now putting out.

Thanks man. Glad to have you aboard.

I don't think I am going to be solving anything, but this 10 pack is a straight up hermaphroditic lot.

I would buy another 10 pack or two from DJ Short of his Blueberry and do it all over again, to see the results.

At that time I would be in a better position to make a final judgement. However, this run has got me disappointed in his current offering.

Excellent thread. Was going to purchase a pack of DJ's blueberry today but holding off until I see results. Subbed:weed:

02/05/12 Notes

Good morning and happy Super Bowl Sunday! Go Patriots!

Well I have been quite busy lately. I moved my Blueberries, Black Widows, Vortex, Vanilla Kush, Medicine, Man and Purple Maroc all into a new home, a spacious 8x5 area, a major upgrade from their respective 4x4 spaces. Also getting blasted with over 1500W of light, as opposed to their own 600W.

The Blueberry ladies are all doing well. I snapped the pics right after watering, and they had a little wilt, but not bad. I have noticed an increase in resin production, as well as a blue shading of some of the upper calyxes. It is a beautiful shade of blue/purple, and really makes you think of Blueberries when you see it glistening. I have also noticed that the smell is turning much more fruity, with a hint of underlying spicy hash, which, to me, is reminiscent of blueberries, but does not smell like the real thing. Blueberry typically takes on the taste and smell of blueberries after an approximate 1-1 1/2 month cure anyhow, but it is nice to see some of these properties pushing through so early on in flower. It is possibly a good sign.

I am pulling about 2-3 nanners off each plant every other day. None have been mature enough for seed production, so I am happy to report that I will be finishing these ladies off, and will not be culling them. I do doubt I will be saving them as mothers...unless one produces some top-notch finished product.

Recently I acquired some White Fire OG BX seeds from OGRaskal, and plan on doing a comprehensive organic grow journal for that strain next, similar to this Blueberry thread. However, I have never run that strain, and have been intensively researching it lately. I will use my knowledge gained from research and hope to grow out the dank for everyone to see. Should be interesting, as it will be my first time running her, and that always makes for an interesting journal. I will probably be running Critical Mass right next to the WiFi, so it will prove for some interesting pictures of huge colas next to extremely dank colas... the joys of seeing quantity strains next to quality strains. (Even though Critical Mass is also very good smoke).

Off to the pics!


Blueberry #2: SCRoG; She has always been the smaller, slower one. Was hoping for more stretch to fill out the screen, but it never came. I am hoping she will push out some nice buds, but so far she just doesn't seem as nice as #4 and #5.

Figures, too...BB#2 is the easiest to clone and root...LoL:) Always the case, isn't it?

Blueberry #4: Staked; Definitely a healthy grower. Very similar in structure and smell of #5. Blue shading on calyxes has also begun to be seen. This plant does not smell as fruity as #5, but it is very close.

Blueberry #5: Staked; Showing early signs of fade..I turned her specifically so I could get a good shot for you guys of the fan leaves fading. I am going to let the fade set in. I did give her a significant guano boost this past week, but the fade has set and I will let it ride. I am hoping she just wants to throw out some beautiful colors, which would be fantastic.

She smells the best so far. Very berry-fruity. Reminiscent of blueberries, but not totally there. I am liking it though.

I also took a picture of underneath the canopy...see those small buds poking in the back? Those are suckers. I would normally pluck those continuously...but I am still not 100% healthy and am still getting my strength back...so my plants are not as manicured as I usually prefer them. But that's okay!

Great update Snafu! I really like the structure of #5, I hope you start to get some coloring in her.

I will defiantly be be checking out your next journal as well, if you could, link it through here when it starts please :weed:

Awesome...that sounds great. I am actually tearing on some Pandora's Box fire right now myself!
Man, you too?!?! MedShed has had me salivating over his Pandora for quite some time... I hear it might be the best smoke ever? Hmmm can't wait to find out one of these days!

Hehe. I dont consider PB to be best smoke ever, not even close. It is very uplifting and euphoric though, great morning and day time bud.

Oh I'm sure it isn't... I think it's just the ol Grass is Greener syndrome. I'd bought some PB beans awhile back for my brother in law who was supposed to crack them immediately. Well, they are still in bean form, and I've been dying to know what the smoke is like. Once I get my garden back up I might just find out. . .

edit: What is your personal favorite, then?

That's a good question...I really don't have a personal favorite. Currently, I really like my Black Vanilla Kush pheno, she looks great, tastes great, and has a wonderful, muscle-relaxing head. Great for night time.

I kind of enjoy a lot of different strains for different purposes at different times. To better answer your question, I do prefer indicas over sativas though...I'd rather mellow out than laugh and be 'up'.

However, at any given moment I like to have a sativa, an indica, and an equal hybrid. I used the sativa in the morning, hybrid for general wellness, and the indica for sleeping and muscle relaxation.

I'm right there with ya... and I think my favorite strain changes pretty often. It's hard to stay with one thing with there are so many out there. . . strains, that is :) I do have some that have stuck out to me over the years, tho. . .

I'm right there with you on that Snafu. A strain for every occasion is the way to grow...

Bobo - if you find an excuse to pay us a visit before Mrs. Medshed smokes up the last of our Pandora's Box (currently curing for about 11 months) I'll be more than happy to give you a taste. The smell has turned to serious baby poo, from a kid fed nothing but fruit flavored Gerbers, but the smoke is nice and smooth.

Lmfao see, just the mention of Pandora's and here he is! :):)

No way, Med! I actually just found out I'm going to be in your neck of the woods later on this summer. I will PM you about it.
