I just put my Blueberry in a 3 gallon pot. I am positive it is the pheno I am looking for. Of the 10 seeds I got, only one was the pheno. It was the last seed to pop. There are tiny balls on plant #2 that showed up yesterday, day 32. Plant #3 is slightly smaller than #2 and looks to be female, but no hairs yet. The last time I had this pheno and grew it from seed it showed sex almost a week before the other females. BAM! I got my mother plant.

We used to call it THE Blueberry

"Is that BlueberryBlueberry or THE Blueberry?"
"It's THE Blueberry."
I bought a $5 clear storage tub and I am going to take about 4 clones to start.

I am giddy.

I will never buy perlite again. I enjoy my sledgehammer and new bags of lava rock. No more floaties here. PS love when you talk dirt y Ham.
LOL... My family were quarry workers for 12 generations, going back to the oldest city in Germany. If there is one thing I was built for, it's smashing rocks. I love working with sledgies. I'm all shoulders and lungs. Seeing as I'm literally built for it I hardly feel the effort.

Java, my sources won't help you much, I'm South African, pretty far from you guys. Been struggling my ass off to find some stuff over here. Finally getting somewhere.

I think I'm going to open a little webshop supplying organic goodies over here. The organic movement is gaining momentum, BIGTIME. Seeing as I've done a whole mess of research and sourced everything at the source, I might as well go for it. If it doesn't work out, I'll have enough to grow for like 10 years so no harm really LOL. Got some badass ideas for compost tea brewers I haven't seen in practice before too. My day job of building swimming pools is coming in handy in the most unexpected ways...

You really should do this. I think it's a great idea. Brewing teas is so cool. I always make too much on purpose so I can water the houseplants.

DJ shorts blueberry is dank. Its a horrible yielder. Last one I did was mainlined, 2 1/2 foot colas. Got 33 grams. I ran it that time 4 rounds. Then back in 2003 I ran it for a year in hydro sog. Quality was amazing but yield was horrible then too.

Trousers...you talkin DJ Short's BB?
Dutch Passion

I think the DJ Short BB is so dialed that the phenos are very minimal.
The Original Blueberry (which DJ Short made) might have more phenos and better yield.
That is probably where Dutch Passion got their line, I think.

DJ Short recently did a new version of Blueberry Blue Moonshine. I grew one plant out. Low yield, very stony. Looked like OG Kush kind of, not great flavor smell. Would not run again.

I just bought a 1/4 of Flo from a dispensary. It is organic soil and really good for weed I didn't grow.

OK, I'm blown away right now. Dream Beaver official female count... 10/10. I forgot to charge batteries again. My daughter is getting into using the camera to take pics of EVERYTHING so I never have charged batteries any more. Pic updates soon. But 100 percent females on regular seeds?! MY GODS.

Sorry guys, the Dirty Las Vegas Beaver will now never happen. I don't have a boy of the Dream Beaver or the LVBK. No seed run, guess I'll have to toke the little bubbas LOL...

I am posting up a some pictures here to show what teas can do for overall health. Last Sunday these plants were less than half this size and suffering from a P deficiency and a high soil mix ph from my dumbass using too much dolomite in their mix. I ordered diamond mylar, which will be here this week, so I can set up a proper veg area. I want to throw these into flower in a week or two and cut clones. I am looking for a few top shelf females to keep as mothers.

Take a close look at the last two pictures. This one PE female is showing signs of what I think is light burn. If its not light burn then its a sign of P def, which I dont see that being possible since I used Budswell 0-7-0 in the last two teas. It is the only plant showing these symptoms. I found a picture of light burn in JC Stitch's book Marijuana Garden Saver and this looks identical. I was also thinking that the plant may have run into a patch of "hot mix" in its container. I really spend time mixing the blend but there may have been more of something in that 1 spot. This last part came after some OG so I apologize if it does not make sense.

My little hydro project is still in play. I started it yesterday using clones from VISC test gear and includes Infinity, THC, 420, and Sin. The strains in the soil mix include Kali Mist, PE, Blue OG, BB's Engineer's Dream S1 purple pheno, Bubblegum, Kali Bubba, Lemon Kush, Green Poison, Power Skunk, and a few others. I added dolomite, azomite, mycos, azos, EWCs, 3 types of bat guano, Seabird guano, and a bunch of perlite. Soil base was FFHF.

They are under 650 watts of MH. They have been under 400 watts of Mh for 10 days and I added a 250 MH last night. They were under a TEK 2 T5 light prior. Without running downstairs, I think the seeds were placed into germination 5 weeks ago this weekend.

The 3rd picture in the top row and the first picture in the bottom row are 2 examples of the Kali Mist . They are 90% sativia. They are not burned from the teas at all. Thanks for looking. I am trying to learn as much as possible about organics. I am finishing up Teaming with Microbes and I just ordered Soma and the Rev's books about organically growing MJ. I have only been using teas a week and I have never witnessed growth like this before under any circumstances. Take care. :leaf:
I don't haz the words. Fucking beautiful, Gandalf. Can't wait to start a batch.

Is it just me or does all hydro taste like any strain crossed with Newport?
With hydro I'm of the opinion that it all depends on the grower. I've had hydro where it tastes like poop for sure, but I have also had a lot of it that was magnificent. The guy that taught me to grow 'dro is a master of the art, I will put his bud up against organic any day and wager you won't tell the difference. His Diesel and Cheese is still legendary around here. Personally I am of the opinion that organic is better when you average it out for sure. Even the worst organic bud is better than 'average' hydro. But in the hands of a master hydro can be excellent. I just think it is a tiny error margin and most commercial hydro falls a lot short.

Depends on nutes. . All strains grown with botanicare looks and tastes the same. I have a friend who does hydro Chem with gh flora a&b . Looks good, smells good, big buds, but harsh as fuck. Poor yields. Living organics in comparison. Much stronger smell, better taste, more potent, so smooth you can take a 2ft bong rip and not cough.

I also have a theory with bong size vs taste which so far I have been right. Small bongs 1 ft or less will make weed taste shitty. Larger bongs 15 inches or more , weed tastes far better. I use a 20 inch old school 1st Gen heavy glass and a 15 inch more old school Jerome baker camping bong (no base). Both converted to glass on glass. Buds taste better out of the heavy glass than they do out of the Jerome baker.

Here's another pic of carmelo. I love trikes.for everyone who doesnt know about carmelo it is offered from delicious seed co and is rated at 20% thc , flowering time from 8-11 weeks and it is sativa dominant but you shouldn't be shocked to find a indica, the genetics are lavender x lavender, I can say that im very pleased with carmelo . The taste is of like a fruity bubbakush and the smoke isnt very long lasting , 1.5 hrs so far on my indica dominant but we shall see with the sativas here in a few weeks. They are 5.5 ft tall and branchy, they are very nute sensitive ive found out but sativas usually are compared to indicas I hear. Welp im off to bed. Thought id show some love to delicious, im glad im happy w one strain so far, I've grown out 20+ and all frim well know breeders so thanks for giving me some good genetics.

Damn, that Carmelo looks amazing homie. Isn't lavender a straight indica though? I remember a long time ago a whole bunch of people were claiming that lavender is a Mendo Purps S1. Well, whether indica or sativa, that shit looks dank.

No cartoon will ever be close to Looney Tunes. Beep Beep! Hey look at May representing Delicious Seeds. I got their Marmalate, Kali Mist, and Northern Light Blue waiting to break ground. You should do a journal on Carmelo.
