I took your advice and just asked MJ to send me a pack of Peak's Blueberry.
Maybe it'll be fun to plant a handful of both so that I can directly compare the two after harvesting.
Thanks.

That would be interesting to see. Good luck and I hope you find a nice blueberry keeper.

It's closer to DJ's than DJ's, if that makes sense. MJ breed the line towards the indica side so there's not much variation in the line.

Here are some shots of the NLxC99 at 28 days from flip.

I had mentioned a few post back that I took my first crop (which was in soil and spent most of its life suffering) at 73 days. My current crop pictured above has had no notable set backs and should be ready some where between 56-63 days from flip. Just going off my notes from last run - I was correct in my assumption that my last run fell 10-14 days behind schedule.

Peace.

Only 3/5 NB up since Thursday, waiting.

Here's an update on the Blueberry. Day 52 since the flip and just starting to show some colour.

And a Skunkberry, 38f.

Jeez - Saboo those are stacking up nice!

Nice grow Saboo. You're going to like that Skunkberry, they have a nice kick. Everything looks happy. I have a crinkled leaf blueberry that I'm running again to see what I can fix. My ph was off and my water was way to high in ppm so I didn't do her justice. She smells like over ripe blueberries.

Saboo, they look awesome! Have you tried those strains in the past?
Both of those are going in my grow room in about a month, as well as some of Peak's other strains and DJ's Blueberry.
Can't wait!

Saboo what you running them in, they're very happy.

Thanks, GJ. The Skunkberry is actually a clone of a plant that's in the jars right now. It's tasty and powerful, though I think this run will be better as I overfed a wee bit the first go-round.

The Blueberry is one of the best stones I've ever felt, and that was before a bunch of improvements I've made in my abilities. The taste is wonderful with a powerful, heavy indica stone with a headband effect. This batch of seeds came with a longer suggested finishing times though, so I'm assuming MikeJ changed out one of the parents. What effect that had on the line will be unknown for a few more weeks.

That's great to know, keep us posted!

Thanks KP.
I'm very much a follower of the Keep It Simple, Stoner philosophy. I grow passive hydro(like a hempy) with hydroton, coco and perlite. Maxibloom for nutes and screw-in LEDs for light.

BB day 55. Every day the colours are developing. I wish the photo did a better job showing that.


The smell isn't strong, but it is a sweet blueberry aroma.

Wasn't planning on posting in this thread again today, but I love how this photo turned out and wanted to share.
PSBC Skunkberry Same skunkberry as in earlier post, day 42f.

@Saboo the Shaman
Are you running just Maxi and nothing else on the BB? Cal or Mag supplements? I'm curious cause everyone says that the BB is tough to to grow, but those are looking nice.

Thank you. The main thing about blueberry, in my experience, is not to overfeed. That is the fastest and most devastating way to screw your BB up. It may even look okay, but yield, smell, taste, and effect will be irrevocably affected. Personally, I fucking HATE to see burnt tips on my plants, and as you can see above, there is some nute burn evident . They are sensitive, respect that. To be safe, staying under 750 or even 700ppm is probably the best bet.

The other thing mentioned on the PSBC website is the seeds may need help cracking open. I find this is true with plenty of seeds from different lines. Once I got over my fear of getting in there with fine pliers and assisting with removing the shell and inner lining when required, I've had few problems.

Re feed, I give all my plants a bit of CaMg and silica during veg, but only Maxi during flower.

I'm going to be running Peak's BB in about a month's time. I think I'm going to use Stepwell Super Soil with no added nutes whatsoever. I wonder how it'll respond and if anyone's done this.

Stepwell is a basic super soil, you shouldn't be adding nutes to organic soils anyways. However most I know who run stepwell add in their own stuff on top and usually have to do a few teas throughout. Blackswallows KIS supersoil I have used and it's great and can be a water only til harvest. Hope this helps a bit in your planning.
