Mob

I am considering Growing MOB Mother Of Berry. It was originally a Clone only strain from Maine.

I will acquire the seeds from Royal Canadian Marijuana Collective.

Maine's own Blueberry comes to life in seed form. A clone from original MOB has been self'ed and a large yielding super tasty pheno was self'ed again. These should be very fast, inside and out. Phenos inside will be 42-55 days flowering at 12/12. Outside expect a late August finish below 45N, and North of 45 expect early to mid Sept. Large yields with a good early season veg. Do not start inside at more than 18hrs of light, as these are highly light sensitive. Good Mold resistance. Female seed. Germ tested. Experimental untested.





Any input from anyone who has any experience with this would be much appreciated.

I have done some research on the internet it appears it is a Photoperiod strain not an Auto Flower strain.

Which means I should be able to keep a mother Plant indoors if desired?

The area where I could use some input is that they say this strain is highly light sensitive.

I would like to start these indoors in 3 gallon containers with 18 hours a day of light.

Yet I do not want to do this and then stick them outside and have them switch to flowering.

The Breeder says do not start inside at more than 18hrs of light; as these are highly light sensitive.

I am a little concerned if I start them inside 6 to 8 weeks before I plant them outdoors at 18 hours a day of light.

The date that I am planning on putting them outdoors from sunrise to sunset only equals 15 hours of light.

I realize that I may be able to add 1 hour to that total as it actually starts getting light a half hour before sunrise and is not totally dark until after a half hour after sunset .

So at best when I stick them outside they will have 16 hours of day light.


So I guess my question is;

If I start them at 18 hours of light 6 to 8 weeks before I put them outdoors.

Will the shorter outdoor light (15 to 16 Hours) of daylight trigger them to switch to flower?

If so would I just be better off to start them indoors at 15 hour of light to mimic what light they will have available when I put them outside?

#1 Don't expect seeds from a clone only strain to be the same (or even similar) to the cut.
#2 Experimental Untested.... So, you're paying to beta test his strain?....I wouldn't do that. Also he says "highly light sensitive. Good Mold resistance." How would he even know?
#3 I would give them 16/8 till 2 weeks before you put them out....then cut back on the lights to a more natural schedule (slowly) They wont flower @15 or 16 hours...
#4 Start in Solo cups then transplant into the 3 gallon containers.

The folks I get seeds from don't make claims until they have first grown their new strains and can varify their claims...

I hope it works out for you though..Good luck!!

Thank you for your input.

SenorBrownWater,

I am think that 6 to 8 weeks in a Solo Cup is going to hurt the plants growth.

I should have been a little more clear.

When I say I am starting them in 3 Gallon containers .

Once I move them outside they will be going into the ground.

I do have assess to the MOB cut but think I will give these a try.


I have several other strains I will be running as well.

Sorry, It seems I wasn't clear ether. I meant to just start the seed in a smaller container for a few weeks, if you start them in a 3 gallon container, when you water the soil will stay wet a really long time...

When I go back and read it you were clear . I just missed it. Sorry about that.

Actually I will sprout them in smaller containers for about a week and then stick them into the 3 gallon containers.

Once I know that they have sprouted and are going to make it.

I will make sure not to over water them and my soil has very good drainage.
