This is JBC. I realize this isn't the only shop with his gear, but they're one of the best banks our there imo.

Everything AKBB has is 100 or less. That's DJ Shorts start point. That's kind of fucked considering none of his gear is the blueberry people are actually looking for despite several of them claiming to be just that.

I see predominantly disappointed customers who run the current DJ blue. Sterile males are a big complaint lately. If I was dead set on running DJ's genetics, I'd be looking at 90's blues or f-13.

I ran some of his BB on my patio in 2000, kind of an ad hoc grow with not a lot of effort put into it and I was pleased with the BB terps and the smoke. Pretty plant too boot.

I wouldn't grab a pack unless it was half that for the F5 anyway. The reviews I have read and rumors are that it is no good. In fact I have read that not even the shorts are using it for breading, if you notice all their x's use the f4 still

^^^ this.

I ordered a pack and after doing more research, I'm more excited about the flo freebies than the BBF5 itself.

I don't think that I follow this f4 vs f5 logic. They're probably using the f4 simply because it's what they've selected and what is not publicly available. I'm not saying the rumors aren't there for the current f5 release. But there are reports of people finding good things in it and even the real seed company uses it to make their f6's. You're certainly right about paying full price.

The F4's were available for a while until they released the F5.

I have not heard anything positive or to rephrase, I have not heard of anything Blueberry from the Blueberry F5, so I will def be interested in what you read.. I have heard people say 'good quality bud, just not bb"

I heard the F5 has more of a chocolate flavor than anything remotely close to blueberry, in most cases.

I did hear a few ppl finding males that transfered blueberry flavors though....but not as good as the F4 male.

I'd rather give Blue Star my money, but that's just me. He seems to care alot more about his end product and he's active in the communiy.

What would be really nice would be a feminized blueberry that puts out the smell AND the taste. I don't have the time or inclination to find a male to breed. I just want to grow the plants that have the taste. I've had blueberry strains that smell great but taste like gunpowder when you hit them. Sometimes, it's a real pain in the neck to have known the real blueberry strains from back in the 70's and 80's. Those old versions had the smell and the taste before the breeders bred it out.

I don't think I'll ever understand what means what when it comes to F4, F5, F6, S1....etc. I always assumed that the higher the number, the more stable and consistent the plants would be. So, that's why I assumed that an F5 blueberry would be more stable and consistent than an F4. Anyway....I'm glad I asked!

I agree that he is more active. Dj was once more active even doing cannabis classes and handing out clones, but I haven't heard of him doing that recently. Blue star is accessible responding to emails and forum messages making blue lines available while dj is also helping do selections for him for their collaborations and giving him access to his seed stock.

Contact blue star. He has family blues v3 which is a fem line now. It's blueberry crossed to his Mayberry which is a blueberry crossed to deathstar. He claims it has blueberry smell and taste.

I hadn't seen that dj short f4's were available. Are you maybe referring to when sagarmartha or dutch passion were originally releasing blueberry before dj made his own release?

Generally more stable, but the subsequent filial generations are only as good as the selections used.

In theory yes, but proper selection is needed....poor selection led to the bad reputation of the F5.

Just because someone works a line doesn't mean it's for the better

I have two JOTI Blueberry cuts I kept from my last run with those seeds, of which I have a couple hundred still. Of these two, one smells good (more the sweet Blueberry) while the other smells AMAZING, more the classic blueberry terp up front with a skunky undertone. If it was smell alone that was going to decide, I'd only keep the second one. BUT! It foxtails hard in late flower, while the former finishes fast (under 8 weeks) and has a more compact, indica growth structure. I'm leaning on the side of keeping the one that doesn't foxtail, yet I have still to review the smoke for the nicer smelling one. The first one is a wonderful smoke already even though not quite cured yet. The effects are VERY calming, nearly erases stress completely, kills my back pain dead too. Ugh decisions decisions.
