Your growing experience helped me to decide to not grow EB. Thnx.
I'll check out iss.
Its a bummer I guess a few yrs back it was the cats ass But now they breed in Colorado warm an dry it has lost its mold resistance an of course the breeder doesnt let the buyer know that. I was thinking hey its breed in BC gotta be tough.

Where's the guy from Maine that said MOB originally meant "Maine Outdoor Bud" ? Sounds much more plausible than mom of berry.
I've always thought that was the stupidest name ... even before the name-game legalization created

i have 2 friends that still have the real mob mother of berries
Mother of berries didn't hit the scene till early 2000s I was growing the real mob early 90s The mob I use to grow was skunky an a semi auto, It was a small plant 4-5 ft outdoor but the whole plant turned into bud as was ripe early sept. I see folks all around me running cuts of mob every year none of it is the same as the early 90s strain its not even close to the real deal.

I'd like to compare yours with mine. I got mine last year, but from someone who's held it for a long time. He told me 20 years, but someone else told me he's full of shit and it's only been 10. But the someone who told me is the one who gave it to him.

I've heard the real cut when you pull a leaf off, it stays attached to the stalk, and pulls a little bit off with it..The cut I have is like that to.

After a few extra days curing; it tastes of sour blueberries/berries and converts to hashy flavor midway through a gram from resin build up
Mine doesn't really smell of sour blueberries, more like berries and Welch's Grape juice or something. Makes me wonder about the Mendo P part. Not sure about the hashy flavor because I use a dry herb vape. Oh, and it's not mold resistant at all. Mold magnet.

i dont have mine anymore. but it was shorter and bushy. it did almost flower in clone lol. the bud would get all magenta colored towards the center. it smelled mostly strawberry and berries. tasted like strawberry and chocolate or a raspberry tootsie pop! some people say its from blueberry. but i totally disagree. i think it comes from strawberry cough etc

I originally heard MOB was blueberry x strawberry cough...

But I never smoked MOB by itself; only in crosses.

Possibly; so many berry strains that originated in the same area lol it's hard to keep track
i hear you there. the mother of berries i got from people that came from mass. the maines own blueberry i thought was a jerry berry cross. ive only had the mother of berries. i dont think its bleberry family at all. not like the original bb anyway. i do think its got cough in it though

I hear ya; with the chocolate it could be though; blueberry has chocolate terps that it throws sometimes; mainly in the F5 and beyond though much more rare in older blueberry....but it could come out in the right cross i suppose

very possible, i never looked at it that way because my pheno was 95 bb muffin juice but you are right. i do know there are the 2 different mobs because my maine friend south of me had the maines own bb and the mother of berries at the same time

I think the story of MOB being a Mendo P cross to Blueberry could be accurate when talking about the cut I have. Phylos tested it a while back, and they said it was closely related to Mendo P. They got the cut from a friend of the guy who gave it to me, so yeah seems to be some fire with all this smoke. Phylos has their problems but I would not doubt this cut I have is related to Mendo P. Definitely has some Blueberry traits.
