I've been trying to get as much good info about bb as possible as I've got "Original Blueberry" seeds in the mail from m-s.nl (80/20- I/S). But I can't seem to find anything consistent about growing this strain. I'm going to grow these girls 12/12 from seed using a CMH in a PC case using small pots and homemade organic soil with strict organic fertilizer, lots of good drainage. If you have experience with bb in a micro-organic-soil grow I'm all ears.
So far I've picked up the following info that's been repeated in a few places.
1. Grown in soil, does well with less nutrients, some hardly feed during the first 4-6 weeks of bloom.
2. problems with heat, leaf deformation at more than 85f. Needs lots of air flow.
3. wide phenotypic range
4. bushy, not easy to grow compact
5. may require trimming
6. two to three different types of smoke reports
7. strains are varied between seed banks
8. pH control important
9. Responds well to topping and trimming, topping helps to increase yield
10. bb has been known to put out more than one main cola, likes to top itself.
11. cloning can be a challenge.
12. molasses a few weeks prior to flushing helps the bb flavor.
13. a good flushing and curing is critical to flavor.
14. not a good strain for a lazy farmer.
15. likes to be tied and twisted, SM style.
16. The Dutch Passion strain may hermie. The DJ Shorts strain tends to be more stable.
17. 8-10 weeks of bloom, many report going 9 and 10 weeks before harvest.
This will be my first time growing bb and I'm thankful to anyone who knows how to keep these girls happy.
