(dried).” – Sagarmatha seedbank catalog “Blueberry is a mostly Indica (80% Indica, 20% Sativa) strain, that dates to the late 1970’s. A large producer under optimum conditions. A dense and stout plant with red, purple and finally blue hues that usually cure to a lavender blue. The finished product has a very fruity aroma and taste of blueberry. It produces a notable and pleasantly euphoric high of the highest quality and is very long lasting. Medium to large for cannabis seeds to calyxes.”Blueberry” has a long shelf life and stores well over a long period of time. Specifications: Flower: 6-7 weeks (45-55 days); Harvest: 2nd to 3rd week of Oct.; Height: 0.7-1 metres (2-3 feet); Yield: 300-325 grams per sq. metre.” – Dutch Passion seed catalog "From 8 female blueberries grown from seed 4 were boring lowdown indica stone 1 quite zippy and 3 quite up and they put a smile on your face I like the last three and will save them for breeding."- Oldtimer "Buds from the two blueberry keepers are my most popular, although not most potent. The smoke is soo clean and sweet. It's like it actually clears your sinuses but with a sweet berry flavour. When being transported, it doesn't attract as much attention as my other main strains." -Vic High "I would not recommend blueberry unless you want to become an experienced grower quickly. Blueberry, although a quality plant, will test a beginner's ability. It's usually the first plant in my garden to tell me that I'm doing something wrong. If your a for cannabis seeds to beginner, why not go with a proven such as NL5?" - Vic High “I would have to say to give Blueberry a shot. I received mine from BC Seeds, WOW. I used to grow with stash seeds. No more. Blueberry in 65 days budding time produced 1.8 Oz per s.f., with 55 watts per s.f., vented highly. The strength and the taste were a 10 on 1-10 with skunk #1 being a 5.” BCGA: Blueberry and It’s Yields “Blueberry - 10 seeds purchased from Marc Emery at Hemp BC. Reported to have been supplied by Sagarmatha Seeds. Reported to be mostly indica plant 2 - 3’ high that matures in 45 - 55 days. Reported to produce large crystalized buds with natural occurring blueish hues and an unmistakable berry taste and aroma. Of the ten seeds, I got 5 males and 5 females. They all started out looking very deformed with wrinkled leaves and variegation. At first I thought it was do to excessive inbreeding but later found out that the strain was treated with cholchicine. Two males and one female were precocious and would not stop flowering regardless of light cycle. for cannabis seeds to These were discarded. Of the remaining 3 males, two would not shed pollen (they would flower but the pollen would not drop). These were also discarded. The fifth male (BL-9) was by far the most robust and fortunately did shed pollen. It was used to pollinate select mothers. Two of the females produced great buds that didn’t smell like blueberry so seeds were collected (BL-9 was father) and then discarded. The final 2 females were what I was looking for (BL-8 & BL-10). Very robust and they produced the sweetest berry like smoke. Clones of both were kept as mothers and seeds produced with BL-9 as the father. These clones mature at about 3 feet tall. with a few side branches. All deformities have disappeared in mature plants and successive clones. They have very thick stems. The main colas are about 12” long with tight crystalline oval buds. They appear to be well suited to sea of green application. They have a high calyx to leaf ratio. Buds are bluish and purplish and smell like such sweet blueberries. They are not for cannabis seeds to my most potent strain but are my favorite. The smoke is very sweet and good tasting and the high is uplifting and pleasant. Yield Trials To date, the blueberrys have been grown to 18 to 24 inches, placed into bud, and finished at about 36 inches, yielding about 1 to 1 . ounces per plant. They have been grown in 5 gal grow bags containing the super soil mix . To try to figure the best pruning method, the following trial was conducted. Started with 35 clones (18 BL-8 and 17 BL-10) that were placed into 5 gal grow bags containing the super soil mix. When they reached 20 inches, 13 were placed into flower (Group A) while the remaining 22 were pruned back to 12 inches. When these 22 clones reached about twenty inches, 10 were placed into flower (Group B). The remaining 12 (Group C) were pruned back to 18” and placed into flower when they reached 20”. These clones were grown amongst other clones in a 12 by 12 area lit by 2 1000w HPS and 1 1000w MH on a fast moving suncircle. One HPS was in a horizontal reflector, one in a vertical reflector for cannabis seeds to and the MH was in a parabolic reflector. This worked out to about 20w per sq ft. All weights are dry weights unless otherwise specified. Group A harvest: Harvested main colas and then let the rest of the plant continue for a week so that the lower buds would fill out. tops = 8.52oz rest = 3.55 total = 12.07oz mean = .92oz per plant Each plant took up 1.5 sq ft for a total of 19.5 sq ft. This means that I yielded .61oz per sq ft. by growing theplants in their natural form (no pruning). Group B harvest Harvested main colas and then let the rest of the plant continue for a week so that the lower buds would fill out. tops = 10.02oz rest = 9.15oz total = 19.17oz mean = 1.9oz per plant Each plant took up 1.5 sq ft for a total of 15 sq ft. This means that by pinching the tops, I yielded 1.28 oz per sq ft. This is a 109% increase at a cost of 2 weeks veg time. If the entire 12 by 12 area was filled in this way, a total of 1.28 * 144 = 184.32oz (11.5 lbs) would be produced by just 3 lights. This works out to be about 3.8 lbs per light over a for cannabis seeds to 7 week flower period. Pretty efficient for a low yielding stain such as blueberry!!! Didn’t even use CO2! In order to get an idea what wet bud yields I weighed some colas after they were manicured but wet and still on the stalk (just prior to hanging to dry). They weighed 46.2 oz. After drying and removing the stalks they weighed 10.02oz. This means that dry weight = 22% of wet weight. Group C Harvest: I harvested these all at once as there were no big main colas. I got a total of 7.75 oz and an average of .64 oz per plant. Each plant took up 1.5 sq ft for a total of 18 sq ft. This means that by pinching the tops twice, I yielded .43 oz per sq ft. This is definately NOT the way to go.” –BCGA
