Yeah I am going to order the OG/DPD cross tonight I think. Maybe the Bubba's/DPD as well. I heard the Deep Purple cross from TGA isn't that great. Anyone tried it?

Man that looks good! Come on BM seeds! Does it have a really berry taste to it? The OTM has no berry taste, atleast not the one I have. It has almost cinnamon, pine, and something else I can't describe.

it has a very grape- berry super skunk odor that is loud,lol. highly recommended. wen rhino seeds gets some more reg seeds gonna buy a couple pacs, keep a good mother from clones, already have three mother plants from g13hp clones, that g13 hp will have you super fuckin high on one bong hit,lol.i know this is as potent , very couchlok i'm sure. i've growed BM several times . las year the phenotypes were more kush related with the blues and purps.thc content on this one at leas 20% , remarkable weed.commercial qualities.also i did use nothin but pure water and sugar daddy las extra days 10. i saw a alot of difference.

Raider, look what I found on Breed Bay. This link was posted by Tommy. Since you like blueberry so much, I figured you'd enjoy this, especially the yield test.

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 varigation. 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 precosious and would not stop flowering regardless of light cycle. 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 pollenate 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 dissapeared in mature plants and successive clones. They have very thick stems. The main colas are about 12" long with tight crystaline oval buds. They appear to be well suited to sea of green application. They have a high calyx to leaf ratio. Buds are blueish and purpleish and smell like such sweet blueberrys.
They are not my most potent strain but are my favourite. 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 1/2 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 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 the plants 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 7 week flower period. Pretty efficient for a low yielding stain such as blueberry!!! Didn't even use CO2!
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.

- 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.
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.

yea , thats good info ,i been topping them for 5 yrs , i dont top all varieties,i have 2 i didnt, but they are 18 inches ea. the size of a cue ball most all of the tops presently,4 to a stalk. 1 can get 1 and a qarter to ounce and a haf dry in 2 gal. containers.the breeder is Blue Moonshine by dutch passion, ave.ht is up to 3 ft. and i have one a little taller, most 80cm.sugar daddy is a protein carbohydrate that really puts some muscle on the bud,lol, it will cause aggresive flowering so to speak.bes to use las 10 days to 2 weex at 7 tsp. per. gal. good filtered water.

That is some beautiful looking bud man! So much for BM being a "light yielder" That seems like a decent amount for the size they were. They should have no problems producing 10-18 grams in a tight SOG. Now I am stoked to get my beens and they shipped my order in full today so F-Yeah! Between that and the Chemdog Double D I should be stoney baloney for quite a while, lolalso the stone is very good. def. one hit wonder.this by far the stickiest weed i've ever growed.

The Violator Kush is the same way. They only lose about 60% over the dry and cure period. They just stay rock hard and almost the same size as when harvested. I can't wait! Wish the OTM yielded that well.

Yes I am sure I will. I have not seen a less than amazing plant of the BM yet on any grows. It seems like it is not as tricky as the OTM. That thing can screw your head all up. It developes spots sometimes so you think you have spider mites, it is kind of harder to clone because it is completely woody, even tiny branches of new growth are hard on the plants, and if you look at it wrong it will stunt the plant, lol. I found my mother though and have had it for 2 years I think now, so no more surprises.if the plant had not hermied on me i would have 20 - 1 ft. plants veging. thats wy i started these others.you will find this one a reg.member of your household,lol.
