Family: Blueberry Strains
Strain: Blue Moonshine
Strain Type: Indica Origin: Oregon, USA Breeder: D.J. Short
Images:
Description:
“A super potent Blueberry Indica, coated with a strong concentration of tall standing trichomes. This produces a
long lasting very narcotic experience ~ body high blueberry. Short (80 cm) stout kush plants that produce
dense, tight, rock hard nuggets of trichome coated bud. A true "hash-plant."
Specifications: ~ Flower: 9-10 weeks ~ Harvest: mid Nov.” –Heaven’s Stairway catalog
Growers Comments:
“Blue Moonshine IS NOT a White Widow cross. It is similar to the "Whites" only in its glandular resin coating.
Blue Moonshine is a cousin to Blueberry, and is derived entirely from within my personal gene pool collection.”
- D.J. Short
“I liked it a lot. It's mellow, weird, trippy yet down to earth. I crossed it with my best NL female and so far,
NL-BM smells like heaven. I'd say it smells like Bubblegum, but I know there's a strain out there with that
name. But that's just what it smells like (right now.)
So anyway, I found B.M. a lot like the description; strong but don't get it if you want your ass kicked (it isn't
that way.) However, if you like mellow, different stones, I highly recommend it. Yield pretty good; nugs too
hard if such a thing exists, quick: takes about two months or so; sorry I'm too busy to get terribly scientific
about it. (and as I grow in about 12 CUBIC feet, you don't want my numbers. I doubt anyone shares them.)
And these are only my experiences and current opinion. I reserve the right to change my mind, which I may.
Oddly, I'm just not sure about the Blue Moonshine, which is weird because I have an opinion on all others.
Going to start all B.M. beans soon (Moving to bigger local and I swear I'm starting every bean in my
possession when I get there (and I'm going totally organic!)) and I'll know my opinion better then.
Blue moonshine wouldn't be my choice if I could only grow one strain. But I'm superstoked to have it.” -stonerg
Strain: Blue Velvet
Strain Type: Mostly Sativa Origin: Oregon, USA Breeder: D.J. Short
Images: 1 2 3
Description:
“An Oregon-Thai cross with blue hues and elevating energetic high. This is our most pure and oldest sativa
strain. She is truly a queen of the cannabis court and a favorite for 70's sativa lovers. Wrap these velvety buds
on a stick and create your own royal scepter.
Specifications:
Specifications ~ Type: mostly Sativa, indoor. Start vegetate: 1 week after roots show. Flowering time: 65-70
days. Average height: 1-1.5 m. Yield: 250-300 grams / m2 (dried)” – Sagarmatha seedbank catalog
Growers Comments:
"I like it ok as an outdoor plant. The flavor is very good, the high is not bad. The buds, and yield are a bit low.
I crossed it with a WW and WOW. Will try and get some photos of it up. I would say it does MUCH better
outside than indoors." - ncga
Strain: Blue Widow
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: California Breeder: NCGA
Images: 1 2 3
Description:
“Blueberry (female from British Columbia) x White Widow (Aloha male) APPEARANCE: Very short plant -up to 80
cm- with short to medium internodes, no central stalk but rather many stems forming a bush almost as wide as
tall. Fat indica dark green leaves turn more slender when flowering. Very consistent -height, nodes and density
are all very uniform. BUDS: Budding is slow at first, then it explodes with orange hairs forming thick, rock-solid
clusters covered in abundant shiny glands, all possessing an unmistakable blue hue to the tops. Good side
branching will form dense solid buds with much resin everywhere in-between small thick leaves. TASTE / SMELL:
Smelling like a strong house cleaner that tingles the nose, it is extremely tasty, with a sweet hashy berry flavor
that explodes in the lungs. HIGH: Very strong, nice up, clear high -exhilarating, floaty, very visual buzz. It is
more powerful, and has a much better high than either blueberry or white widow, but is not very heavy. YIELD:
It is high, being an easy to grow plant. Budding is slow at first, but then explodes with thick solid clusters with
orange hairs and a very high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The AK-47 is a good yielding plant indoors but the BlueWidow
will out yield it (NCGA).

Growers Comments:
Top 3 NCGA´s strains in potency according to Marcel (NCGA assistant): BlueWidow (hands down the best so
far); G13 crosses; any NC5 series cross.” – NCGA
“When looking at the BlueWidow it does best indoors. It does well outdoors but start it indoors under natural
day length, clone it then place it outdoors. I found when it was grown outdoors from seed it tends to make a
single 6 ft bud. Not the best use of space. When cloned though it reaches the same 6 ft but yields about four
times as much. Harvest date outdoors California is 2nd week in October. If you can go to the 3rd or 4th its just
wonderful and did well in the SF can cup.” -ncga
“I have grown out a Blueberry x White Widow cross, BlueWidow. It is a definite keeper in my grow. It has the
strong berry taste(very strong) and a kickass buzz, more than just blueberry itself. It matures in 45-50 days
with a moderate yield, but yielded more than my NL strain. I will do a new grow with BlueWidow and C99. 2
awesome strains. you wont find BW but a F2 is out there called TwoBlue. Taste and Buzz are the most
important things IMO.” -HJ
“Here's a great tip for you people just starting out. Don’t get caught in the hype about how great Sensi,
Serious, Sagarmatha and Greenhouse are. They are very good but they are just very good commercial pot. The
strains have been around in some form or other for 5 to 10 years and lots of them have lost their original zip.
However... some of the new ones by NCGA tip the scales at excellent. Blue Widow is more powerful and has
much better high than Sags Blueberry and Greenhouse white widow. Stoneblue absolutely destroys the original
Stonehedge and Blueberry that it was made from. Stronger, sweeter with bigger buds that still have distinct
blueberry. The reason NCGA´s strains are so much better is because of hybrid vigor. Not to mention their price
is much much better." -Merry Gary.
"Supposed to be rock hard nuggets, very crystal-covered with a strong smell. not a great yield, but worth it. The
originator of this cross said it lost some of the funky sweetness when crossed with the Widow-- that the smell is
more pungent and harsh. Potency is supposed to be sky high... Most of us are just starting to flower it so the
first results are from those who crossed the strain. (Some of us here have known each other for a while and
have some of the same hybrids.)"
"I have the blue/widow at 43 days 12/12. I began flowering when nodes staggered. I don`t think it will be more
than a fair yielder, but I think this is going to be a very potent strain. The leaf from this is as strong as our
area commercial buds. This is one NC strain that could become INFAMOUS!"
"Well I can tell you about BlueWidow or (BW) I'm the one that had the idea for this strain to cross with a very
nice blueberry mother...BW grows short to medium nodes fat fan leaves that will go more sativa as it enters
flowering...the budding is slow at first been then explodes.... She produces nice thick solid clusters with orange
hairs very high calyx/to leaf ratio.... Smell like a strong house cleaner that tingles the nose and strong hashy
berry taste...high is very strong nice up not very heavy high. Hope this helps."
"BW is very nice STRONG body high but if your looking for something quite clear and focused...I would go with
Kali Mist its VERY up and super clear great sativa energy, although BW is very nice yielder of solid buds the Kali
I have yields quite good and is quite dense def. not what I've heard or it description says. It gotta a very nice
spicy with incense tones taste...I love it I got 9 clones ready to go with 9 AK.AK is heavy slammin high but very
nice. So if you want a clear focused high then go for Kali. If your want a slammin buzz then you would want
AK...and if you want an EASY high yielding plant BW would be your choice. Happy hunting."
"My mcw's and BW's, as most of the ncga strains so far, have shown pre-flowers after 4-6 weeks of continuous
light, it probably is the WW in them. By contrast, I am growing a few NL x Afg and J.H. mix; these plants do not
show their sex so quickly. As the BlueWidow enters flowering the leaves go from thick indica to more slender
sativa the side branching starts to fill out more. Should be some big colas and nuggs BlueWidow and it is a
very good high exhilarating floaty very visual buzz. Another shrub! Looks like a little less yield on this 1, but
still drying too so... Early samples were EXTREMELY tasty! My growing partner lost his sense of smell and taste
in a freak deal and even he prefers this 1 for flavor. He says he can taste a strong sample on occasion...I
thought that said something for it. It’s a good buzz too, but didn't seem to last as long as the others (keep in
mind I only have 2 goin'). J VERY CLEAR high taste spicy sweet height nodes density are all the same with
BlueWidow."
"Those of you that are growing the BlueWidow are growing a very good strain short nodes thick dark green
leaves in fact its very short I have a mother that’s 31 and hasn't got much taller than that when u flower her its
a bombshell thick dense ROCK SOLID buds covered in so much glands it almost hurts the eyes to look at it
and a strong smell that hurts the nose a bit its sweet hashy berry taste that explodes the lungs VERY STRONG.
IMO better than pure blueberry. You will fall in love with this hybrid very short, good side branching buds will
form in thick rock solid clusters and have sooo much resin everywhere in between small thick leaves has a
smell that tingles the nose a sweet berry taste that goes BOOM in your lungs:). I tried some leaf from it 10
days into 12/12,and I must say very impressive. I always sample a little female leaf after sexing the plants. I
have tried leaf from MCW, nc#5,nc#3,REW and the BlueWidow is in a class of its own. can’t wait to try the
finished product. I have finished some of the BW. It's gonna be a keeper for our purposes. I too have noticed
this strange growth pattern described below. My partner kept saying " the plants don’t have any center stalks,
then they grow another node!” I wondered if he was nuts at first (he is, but that’s beside the point), but he
described it to a tee. Thanks for the insight and education Bang! The plants are uniform and almost as wide as
they are tall. They all possess the unmistakable blue hue to the tops and a flavor and aroma that leaves me
wanting more. It isn’t the most powerful stone we have, but the flavor more than makes up for that."
"I took 6 clones off one and the growth pattern is unusual. Instead of growing a main stem like most plants,
this seems to have many smaller stems like a bush. I am only about 10 days into flowering, so I am curious
as to what kind of bud formation to expect. Leaf is usually a good indicator and this leaf "kicks ass"!
Vic, I can see your concern about colchicine but you are in luck. Ncga has taken blueberry and crossed it with
other killer strains to get crosses that are even BETTER than the blueberry. StoneBlue which is a cross of
Stonehedge and Blueberry has got to be one of the best ever strains. Blue widow is almost as good sacrificing
a LITTLE bit of potency for flavor and quality of high." -NCGA
"I have 2 sets of Blue Widows, the first set is two clones at the end of their 5th week of 12/12, both stand
about 32" (80 cm) and are almost identical, glistening with a thick coating of resin. They are also kinda bushy
since I took the clones when the mother plant was almost done flowering, so the clones had to rejuvenate. My
second set is of 3 seedlings; they are also quite uniform. They are all on their 7th node, still parallel
branching. One does have a thicker trunk than the other two, but I attribute that to having more room root
growth, they have all since been transplanted to larger pots."- Japedo
"I'm currently growing his StoneBlue, MCW, nc5 and BW but unfortunately have yet to sample any... but I can
say ALL germinated (in soil) and all are now knee to waist high after a mid-march planting. They are all very
healthy, bushy, nice color and of the other strains now growing, his seem to be the fastest (well, the MCW is a
bit slow but they are coming). The BW is the most impressive of the entire garden, though. If it smokes like it
looks, it’s a winner! Wish I could give a critique on the potency/taste... ask me this fall." - m.g.
“My two from-seed BW's look close to done, but I'm trying to restrain myself. I always wind up harvesting about
a week earlier than I should. The upper leaves on the smaller one have now turned a robust purple, kind of
like Japanese maple leaves. Very exotic looking and very resinous, but alas such a low yeilder. Her big sister is
really coming around though and looks about a week and a half from harvest….
Harvested around Day 60 and 61 - 2 BW from seed, each very different. 6 clones with 3 weeks left.
Smaller, more resinous, very-purple girl was a low yeilder (31g from a manicured 18" plant w/ 4 colas). Smooth
and fragrant with a very up high. Such a clear, functional high, in fact, that one wonders if they are still high
after only half an hour or so.
Larger plant was a better yeilder, 46g 24" topped plant with 4 dominant colas and 2 smallish ones. For all the
difference in looks, the high is very similar. Energized, not wiped out. All in all it was a fun project and I've got
6 more clones coming along with a mother under floros. May keep a bit of the BW around for a while.” – D.
Strain: BlueBell
Strain Type: Sativa/Indica mix Origin: California Breeder: NCGA

Description:
“Early flowering will also tend to produce hermies. It is best to wait for the plant to develop sexually before
flowering it. My BlueBell is a great example of an OUTDOOR plant. I have grown it and several of my patients
do also. But they use my natural day length method or grow it outdoors. The results have been zero hermies.
Yet when it hit the market I got several email complaining about it being a hermy. Now that it is only
recommended for outdoors this problem have been reduced to zero.” –ncga

Growers Comments:
"This is by far the best plant I've ever had. I grew her to about 2 feet under flouros (24/7) then cut back to
12/12 for a couple of weeks before transferring her to the HID bud room. Plant really stretched at that point for
the first few days and then I noticed that my HPS light was coming on, then powering off, and then coming
back on over and over again. Bought a new bulb and the plant quit stretching. At this point the buds took off,
at about golf ball size the top calyxes turned dark, bright pink and the small leaves around the buds frosted
themselves with THC glands. This happened very fast.
I had a male that looked a lot like the female BlueBell so I grew him long enough to get pollen and seeded
one of the branches. This seemed to make the plant respond with additional calyxes on all the buds (maybe
just a timing thing?). Seeds are getting very large.
Plant is extremely easy to clone. It had approximately 20 nodes and I took the bottom 10 for clones. Even a
small side bud with a 1/2" of stem rooted ok. They seemed to have a hard time breaking out of bud mode
back into veg mode but are growing very fast now.
After a week out of town and my plant only being fed once a day, most of the pink coloring on the buds is
gone. The frosting of THC is at ridiculous levels. Fan that was blowing on the top of the plant got turned off
course a little and looks like the plant tried to save itself from the heat by coating its top buds (all that’s left
thanks to over active pre harvest testing) with THC. Smoke now tastes more and more like hashish and is
losing the berry like aroma.
Probably could grow the buds another 2 weeks but have a bunch of clones outgrowing their space in the veg
room. Seems like you can harvest this beauty a little early for the berry tasting high or wait for them to finish
to get the hashish tasting smoke that about knocks me out on 2 hits. Smoking the small frosted bud leaves
gives me a strong rush that lasts for a minute or so." – tokertoo
“I harvested my first "full garden" of BlueBells. Growing 12 clones in a 10 sq.ft. room gave me 10 oz of
manicured buds. Started to clear at 36 days into flower and harvested at 45. This batch was very fast. Buds are
almost white with THC and sticky as glue. I sprouted a few seeds that I made from the BLB Mom but they
looked really weak and could not keep up with the clones.” - Tokertoo

"I think all the seedbank versions of blueberry originate with DJ Short, but he was not the first to create it. I
think he improved upon it though. Also, I think blueberry is predominately a fruity Kush. And I think I
remember reading in an earlier CC issue that DJ incorporated Thai into it to give that uplifting high." -Vic High
"The name "Afghan" (indica) was assigned to the original P1 Afghan stock that came to me one generation
removed from its region of origin via the northwest growing community (and to the plants grown from this
stock). The name "Hindu Kush" was assigned to the "Kush" looking varieties that developed from the f2 (and
beyond) crosses of the P1 Highland Thai (sativa)/P1 Afghan (indica), and, P1 Chocolate Thai-Oaxacaan
(sativa)/ P1 Afghan (indica) crosses. The resulting F1's of the P1 cross were uniform hybrids. The f2's, f3's and
beyond were universally diverse. Among the variance developed what came to be known as "Hindu Kush",
"Sweet Kush", "Berry Kush", "Blueberry Kush" (among others).
To help clarify, allow me to describe the subtle differences that I observed between the two. Both grew short
and stout with wide leaves and both matured early. The leaves of the Afghan had slightly shorter stems and
were therefore closer to the main stem giving the Afghan a leafier look. The shorter stemmed Afghan leaves
also tended to point more upward as they developed. The Afghan had more side branching, especially from
the bottom of the plant. The Afghan also had a very distinct "skunky-musky-earthen" odor and a lighter green
color compared to the Kush.
The Kush is the least leafy with long stemmed fan leaves that tended to droop more downward, exposing the
dense, tight-to-the-stems buds (very little if any side branching) to more light during later maturity. Also, the
fan leaves of the Kush were slightly wider (at the leaflet center) and "rounder" than the basic Afghan. The Kush
became notorious as the easiest plant to manicure and trim due to the long-stemmed leaves, many of which
fell off at maturity, and the trichome-drenched, fat, dense bud structure (with large swollen bracts and flowers).
The Kush was also more colourful and sported a "sweet-musky-earthen" aroma, some with aroma like
sweet-ripe berries. The name "Hindu Kush" was reinforced (and partially borrowed from) Robert Connell
Clarke's Marijuana Botany as it seemed best to fit the description.
Therefore, "Blueberry" (et al) was selected not only from "Hindu Kush" (sweet, berry, or otherwise from my own
f2 and beyond crosses) but inevitably derived from Afghan ancestry as well (the original P1 stock). Technically,
the Hindu Kush region (Northeastern Himalayas) is associated with Afghanistan/Northwest Frontier north of
Pakistan, but this has little to do with the specific names assigned to these strains. I hope this has helped to
clarify somewhat.
The line in the strain description of Blueberry that states "we developed Blueberry from new genetics" was
added (edited in) by Dutch Passion, my European distributor, for the European market. I simply authorized the
Dutch Passion description for Marc's catalogue. Perhaps, at some point, I should re-do these descriptions.
No genetic stock outside my own material is used in the production of any of my own varieties. I am only
interested in using pure, land-race varieties acclimated in their particular region of origin. Until more of these
become available, I have plenty of my own stock (much still untested) to work with. Look for new varieties in
the not too-distant future." - DJ Short
"1) DJ Short is the original breeder to introduce blueberry to the commercial seed trade.
2) there are basically two phenotypes released to the public, the first Sagarmatha release, and all subsequent.
The first phenotype had thinner leaves and more blueberry flavour. The second phenotype is more vigorous,
more vigorous, and although sweet and fruity, not quite as blueberry tasting. I've found the first phenotype
twice, from a direct purchase with Emery, and then from seeds from a friend who bought the first batch direct
from Sag.
3) Sag and DJ had a falling out, and Sag now sells DJ knockoffs. These are now of the second (wider leaf)
phenotype.
4) Dutch Passion is now the European source for DJ Short genetics. These are now of the second (wider leaf)
phenotype.
5) DJ Short delta 9 collection is the North American source of DJ's genetics. Again, these are now of the second
(wider leaf) phenotype. They are available from several sources including Emery seeds and the Amsterdam
cafe.
6) And yes you got it; BCGA version is a knockoff like the Sag version. But the difference is that it is a knockoff
of the first (thinner leafed) phenotype." - Vic High
"I used Blueberry from DP with great results, albeit in soil mix. Very consistent, tended to grow a bit taller than
I expected. Yield was less than White Widow (which I grew along with BB) was, but potency and flavor good.
Re-vegging now and will use clones in hydro. I topped twice, but am planning to top only once or not at all in
hydro. Stems appear a bit woody for cloning but I think this is a strain-specific trait. I used 'feminized' seeds
with 4x4 results but I've seen posts where other growers didn't seem so enthusiastic about this variation. For
me, the cost of power and the hassle of sexing made the choice a no-brainer." - Tokko

"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 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. 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 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 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 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
“Bank- Dutch Passion
Supplier- Jock
Started with 5 seeds. A cracked seed, the only damage on delivery of batch 1 and 2, still germinated but
kicked it about 4 days after sprouting. Of the 4 remaining 3 were female. The sprouts started a little on the
twisted side but grew out of the awkward looking chit pretty quick.
All 4 plants were very similar in both growth and appearance prior to flowering with the exception of one that
had more oval shaped leaves than the others. The rest were typical indica shaped leaves, wider and rounded
on the leaf blade serrations. Once the plants went to flower differences were seen. Oh yeah. These plants had
a mutually shared stink while vegging too.
Note: The male developed leaf mold and since it was the only plant of many to show a weakness to mold its
history. Of the three females two were keepers, for now, while the other was weak, and weak is a kind word.
1- The most prolific grower during flower with decent branching when trained and it produced the most bud.
Having the most bud of these 3 isn’t much of an accomplishment for any respectable plant though. Plant was
harvested at approximately 50 days. Buzz was slightly higher than average for this age.
For a bud description see 2.
Note: For a reference point a typical commercial weed is considered below average in buzz.
2- Was the most compact grower of the bunch with little branching. Again yield wasn’t impressive but... the
buzz was. Buzz was better than average and was different and very promising. That’s the best that can be
done since it was only smoked a couple of times from seed. This plant finished very early, approx. 38 days.
The short flowering time was likely due to the size of the plant, very small. It’s likely to take longer when
bigger and getting more light, it was on the edge and shaded somewhat this go round.
Buds on this and 1 look the same. White pistils and a heavy covering of resin. The plants grow small buds at
every node that were pretty tight considering they lived on the edge of the grow. More veg time under white
light would help this plant to pick it up in the yield department I suspect. As far as all the colors DP advertises
on the web page.
Maybe its colorblindness or something but all that’s seen is deep, dark and flat green right now. But if you look
at the buds when the light is at a certain angle they do look like they have a blue tinge? it’s due to the
reflection of the resin glands and the deep green color. Maybe as it gets older it’ll start showing its psychedelic
side. For now if you really want blue weed: You could make believe whenever that lighting angle is achieved
that you got it and maybe take a picture.
Note I suspect like many plants this plant will show colors outdoors if it does show colors.
3- This plant grew well and would have had an acceptable yield except it slacked when the time came to
produce resin. Slack isn’t even the word it’s more like failed. It almost literally had zero resin. Because the
other 2 were nice plants this one was given a second chance before meeting its maker.
Make the grade when grown from clone it didn't. Meet its maker it did, good riddance.
Aroma: These babies stink. They smell when they’re young seedlings, vegging, rooting and flowering. The
smell from just 2 vegging plants, 1 and 2 caused more noticeable odor than half the same grow filled with
flowering NL x Shiva's.
No. They didn’t smell like blueberries to me but did have something added to the sweet skunky indica odor
that has a berry quality to it. It is becoming stinkier as it ages too. For those of you that have friends that are
impressed with smell this would be a winner. Max security calls for paying big time attention to odor control in
the grow with these. Except of course for 3 which doesn’t smell like anything but the lawn.
This weed would present a packaging challenge if you need to move it for some unknown reason -
Buzz: As stated the two remaining plants had better than average potency for this age. Both were definitely
indica types buzzing with 2 being somewhat unique with a heady floaty type thing going on. More later when
they’re older but I will say the buzz has some unique qualities compared to everything else worth keeping
more than likely.
Taste: Distorted by feeding. Not bad not memorable but there is something there that is different. There is
some kind of berry taste about in the mix but we’ll see.
Yield: Below average at best.
Comments: Both 1 and 2 will be kept until older and decisions will be made on who stays and who goes then.
This decision will be made on buzz and as far as 2 goes how long it takes to mature. If it shows an early
harvest when grown from clone it may be kept for a cross or two in a search for surprises." – flick
“I hadn't planned to use Blueberry as my outside crop this year, it just sort of happened. It turned out to be a
plant useful outside in this climate, with some qualifications.
The seed came from Marc, and all individuals appeared to be the same. I ended up using clones from two
different females, but the plants were not distinguishable. The plants were relatively slow growing, and formed
tall, loose, open bushes (until height restrictions forced cut backs). The stems started right off turning
red-purple, a nice addition to the camouflage, as the eye reads the color as bark from a distance. The fan
leaves were a medium green, thinner than an indica, but not sativa thin. They stood out straight from the plant
on thick purple stems, drooping gracefully.
The plant was normal in its resistance to mites, that is, not very. I did use a fogger a couple of times, not for
the poison, but for the reproductive chemicals, and that was fairly successful. I'll do it again next year.
On the other hand, the plant was as mold resistant as anything I've grown. It did develop a couple of grey
mold spots in the middle of October, and I pulled the plug about two weeks before full maturity. Good thing,
as the weather turned impossible (50's, constant wet), before nature laughed at us with a late Indian summer
this week.
The flowering period was amazing! The buds were purple from the get-go, with small lime-green hairs. The
older the plant got, the more it became purple, all the way down to the fan leaves. What a beauty! The smell
was not sweet, rather it was skunky; mild, and not noticeable from a distance. It's safe for backyard growing.
Now, there were some problems. First, of course, it did not mature when it was suppose to (September). There
may be many reasons why (I'm working on it), so it's too soon to tell if it was my fault or just the plants
nature. In Seattle, if this plant performs as it did this year, it wouldn't work most years. But I call it stalwart,
because it was undaunted by several rainy periods in late September and early October that would have melted
other contenders, and was mold free almost to the end.
Second, the production. Blueberry isn't known for production, and I only cleared 9 dry ounces (very closely
manicured) from four 5 1/2 ft. tall plants, each with 10-15 main flower spikes (after being cut back a couple of
times), and a couple of much smaller plants with three flower spikes. That's piss poor in anyone's book.
Another two weeks probably would have added 2-3 ounces, maybe (a guess). I didn't weigh the skuff, maybe
another 3-4 ounces (gland covered only, I didn't screw around with partially coated leaves).
Finally the high, or lack thereof. Oh, it's strong, not quite as potent as others I've smoked, but it gets the job
done. But jeez Louise, the stuff is absolutely the stupidest pot I've ever smoked. It doesn't last very long,
about two hours, and it doesn't have a nice mild letdown, like my sweet indica homey for instance. You can
sleep on the letdown, but I wouldn't call it sleepy pot at all, just, duh!, stupid. Maybe these particular plants
had different genetics, I don't know, as I haven't seen this pot described as a downer before. It has an nice
initial head rush, but after that, try to remember your Mom's maiden name and deliver it to your vocal cords in
any kind of reasonable order.
So, what is this stuff good for? Gland hash, I'm thinking (varietal differences are greatly washed out in gland
hash). I couldn't see smoking the pot that much. I don't like the high as much as any of my other pots. It
definitely isn't daytime or driving pot, no way, and it's not narcotic enough to be a sleep pot. It does taste
lovely, as advertised, but so what? Aside from the great beauty of the flowering plant, which is just wonderful, I
don't see what the fuss is about. To the skuff machine with it.” – cha cal
Strain: Flo
Strain Type: Sativa/Indica mix Origin: Oregon, USA Breeder: D.J. Short
Images: 1
Description:
“Original Flo is a Sativa/Indica cross (60% Sativa, 40% Indica) with very Sativa phenotypic characteristics that
also matures very early. The large, tight, spear shaped buds are made up of small, densely packed purple
calyxes. The plants are taller and like to branch out. Indoors the buds are fully mature by the end of their
sixth week. Outdoors the plant is a super producer when multi-harvested over a period of time. The first buds
are ripe around the third week of September. About every ten days after that, new buds form and can be
harvested through the end of November, if the plant can be kept alive that long. Therefore, “Flo” is ideal for
greenhouse production. The motivational “high” produced by the “Flo” is quite unique, the flavor is like
Nepalese Temple Hash. A most pleasant and enjoyable experience.
Specifications: ~ Flower: 6-7 weeks ~ Harvest: 3rd or 4th week of Sept.” – Sagarmatha seedbank catalog
Growers Comments:
“I've had Flo for a while now (grown a couple crops w/ her)...As for the potency/high: Not much "body stone" at
all, the high is pretty clear (meaning it's not confusing or stupefying like some), kinda "up" y'know -- makes
you want to go and do things (not like my NL cross, that's couch-lock stuff). Not real visual/hallucinogenic, and
not the longest lasting stone (but certainly respectable - maybe stoned for ~an hour off 2 medium bong hits),
but definitely worthwhile. Really unique, but not *the* most powerful stuff. I really like this one, although the
yield is way down there compared to other strains. Hope you like her as much as I do.
I'd recommend this variety IF it isn't the only strain you'll be growing. I say this because she yields pretty low:
small calyxes in small spear-shaped buds. This is definitely my lowest-yielding strain. But also the most
unique. It really does taste like Nepalese hash. Also, the plant is beautiful to look at, dark maroon-colored
stems w/ dark green leaves. Nice smell, too, not skunky or stinky at all, it's a very sweet floral kind of scent.
One of the big advantages to this strain is its primarily sativa heritage (I've heard varying reports: 60% sativa,
7/8 sativa, I don't know which is accurate). Nice high, really good morning weed, you know, you can wake n
bake with this stuff without losing the whole day. I like to smoke first thing in the morning (sometimes), and
this stuff is positively energizing. It's weird, the first time I smoked Flo, I almost thought I wasn't high -- the
stone is VERY clear, not confusing or buzzy, no real 'body-stone' to it, just trippy, slightly visual, cerebral
stimulation.
Another nice quality Flo has is her dwarf stature. She's mostly sativa, yet she finishes (in my room) at 2' or
less. Pretty unusual for a sativa. I haven't grown Blueberry, so I can't compare the two. To repeat myself, I
highly recommend Flo, as long as you're not counting on her to produce a bumper crop (she won't). I'd guess
(just a guess, and I say this just 'cuz I bet you're wondering) she yields ~1/4 - 1/2 oz per 2' plant."-Zachary
"I planted Flo one time. It is very slow germination strain, so you better to wail about 7-10 days for the
germination. Flo was a one of my favorite strain, especially taste, it really taste like Royal Nepal. High was like
medium up-lifting high, very relaxing weed. Don't expect big yield from this strain. I grew both Blueberry and
Flo. I think still Flo has better quality than Blueberry."
"I read somewhere (so who knows what its worth) that most, if not all, of that breeder's strains came from
crossing Thai indica with a Thai sativa... The Blueberry, Flo, B.Velvet, are all supposed to be related--probably
distant cousins from the same original crosses. Sorry no real facts..."-Shabang
“I’m on my second Blueberry crop and first Flo crop. I’m one of the few people that do not like blueberry. Its
strong, and has a unique taste. the plant yields pretty well, and the buds are kid of leafy. Lots of resin on the
joint, sometimes after the first hit. The Flo's have thinner , more sativa like leaves. grows long, Superskunk
looking buds, with lots of purple clusters, they mature very fast and have pretty big buds. I have been pleased
with the growing performance. Now the high... Flo is very strong, lots of resin like blueberry. Unfortunately , one
toke is enough to tell you that this plant is 50% blueberry. Same taste but more intense. There's a peppery
taste in addition. Flo is the better high and plant of the two, and finishes a week or two earlier than Blueberry.
If you like the taste of purple indicas like blueberry you will love Flo. I am partial to the oranges, and sweet
hash tastes.” – Abbie Hoffman
“Flo looks sativa like grows very well with big, long buds. The genetic makeup is unknown but 1 puff told me
that it is 50% blueberry. The buds turn purple like Blueberry. Flo finishes very fast . it also has a noticeable
pepper taste too. I like it , its a winner and will stay in my garden. I’m not crazy about the blueberry taste but
I’m getting resin on the first puff! its pretty strong. Not a clear high, it kind of puts you in a daze, a dreamy
kind of state where you’re in deep thought and contemplation. Good for reading. I like Cinderella in the
morning, Flo is more of an afternoon high.” – Abbie Hoffman
“Flo is very strong and clones very easily….from 10 seeds I got two good mothers. One was an indica dominate
one a sativa.. as for the high... It is a very fun high...not paranoid at all...very up...the weed tastes real
good... after the first joint you are high...real high...go ahead and roll another after this one you are going to
trip for about 30 minutes then you will come down quietly... but you don’t want to do that,...so roll another and
trip again...it never makes me sleepy until I stop smoking...the end of the buzz will relax ya so you can
sleep...but shit man...we usually just keep rolling...3:00 am still got a big grin on my face and deep perception
is warped...it is by far my favorite morning...day...evening...all time smoke... especially when you want to talk
and socialize with friends. ..so I say it is exactly how it is described...there are definitely more potent...but I
haven't found a more fun."- Eric
“For me Flo is couch lock weed. despite the literature, I would rate it at 90% body, 10% head high. Matures
very fast, like 45 days, has tons of resin, almost no odor, tends to be purplish in color. Difficult to clone, gets
nute overdose leaf curl down when others don't. not a strain to continue. The high is very physically relaxing
and emotionally amotivational.” - Splif Lipsit
“I've grown 4 crops of Flo. It is very difficult to clone and not very hardy. I lose 40% of the clones, and just lost
2 plants when my hydro system was shut off accidentally. All the other strains survived without any harm, but
the Flo dried out beyond recovery. This is not an easy strain to work with. The only reason I keep growing it is
because of its fragrance and taste. I love the hashy fragrance and taste. It is truly an exceptional strain in this
regard. The seedlings I grew were not very uniform in this regard, which might explain why yours does not have
much odor. Revegging this strain takes a very long time.” - potattic
“Yes it was ok but not great. the buds were pretty leafy and I didn’t get very high from it. something that is a
lot like it but better is Romulan strawberry blonde surprise. Both are 50% blueberry and taste similar. your
mileage may vary.” -BeenThereDoneThat
"Why is it so hard to get her to turn back to vegetative growth after 12/12? I ask because one female was
"sexed" for maybe 2 weeks and then the lights were turned back to 18 hours on. but she still wants to
flower...she is growing new growth but calyxes are growing with the new growth...and they have resin glands." –
Eric
"I have grown it and didn’t like it. Yours may be different but on mine the buds never got very frosty, and the
high was weak. I let it go for 70 days and it still wasn’t finished so I cut anyway. The bud appearance looks
leafy. yield was about the same as princess but out of a small circle of friends the Flo got a thumbs down." -

Strain: Romberry
Strain Type: Indica Origin: British Columbia Breeder: Vic High, BCGA

Description:
“Is a very vigorous F1 hybrid of the pure Romulan female and a select Blueberry male. The hybrid retained the
large sticky and stinky buds of the Romulan. It gained stronger stems and fruity aroma and taste from the
Blueberry. Colas should become larger and more frosty than the Romulan buds seen in Aug. 98 High Times.
This one is also very easy to clone.
Specifications: ~ Flowering: 55-60 days ~ Height: 90-140 cm” – BCGA catalog
Growers Comments:
"Romberry has become a fav of mine in the last few grows (Thanks BCGA!) The high is up, for an indica, and
leaves me with a warm happy glow and a stupid grin on my face. High-- 8- 8.5 Taste--9 or higher! This is what
really keeps me coming back, the Romulan taste, well, exotically sweet is the best way I know how to describe
it, with the Blueberry giving a full, rich sensation to the smoke. Romberry likes to have a rich well drained soil,
organic ferts, lots of light (20 w psf. min 30 w and up is best) and at least 8 weeks 18-6 from seed, 10- 12
weeks 12-12 to finish. Believe me the extra time is worth it!" - greenbear
"I grew out BCGA's Blueberry (f2) and it is a good indoor choice. Nice yeild, nice taste but I would still pick
Romberry." – Greenie
“Well it started with six beans via HS (Excellent Service:-)) 3 females, Veg total of 50days 24/0 400mh, in 2gal
pots BCGA "Super Soil" recipe "Bio-Blend" organic two part ferts for "Soil application. Flowered under 400hps
12/12, and after 50 days of 12/12, today 2 Rom ladies 404grams un-cured buds. Nice 75-80% brow hairs, 50%
resin heads cloudy under 30x mag. The height was about 23-31" tall. About 30% of the bud material was left
on plant in hopes of continued ripening. So each one should finish with over 2oz's each. Being the first grow, It
says volumes about the strain, Romberry is outstandingly vigorous, and is a fantastic yielder. I really thought
to achieve a solid top cola 11' and 3" in diameter and as dense as any dank, would surely take a 1000watt
lamp. But this was accomplished with a 400hps. And early quick try samples are awesome! The Romberry
withstood a couple of abuses of rookiness, and really came through with big dense, stalked trichome frosty
colas that really lend credence to the fact that this strain does not need vast amount of light to produce
impressive colas. I guess that my extreme-joy is in the fact that I read "Don’t Expect Centerfold Colas on Your
First grow" and I took it to heart, and the Roms surprised me (Thanks to a lot of help from the great people
here and at BCGA’s board) cause I have four main colas between 46-79gramms that I think are worthy of a
photograph, they are really impressive.” – Budm
“Well if I had to use flouros, Id go with Romberry, it produces very dense tight colas with as little as 35 watts
per sq. ft. The breeder Vic High, in trying to make a guess on Romulan’s heritage and original breeding
objectives, has posted that he feels that it had its roots in California back when flouros were popular, and
guesses its a Blue Indica, and was breed to do well under flouros, and it still does well under low light
situations.” – Budm
“Ended up with 1 Sage, 2 GWS, 2 Cinder, 1 blueberry, and 2 Roms. Actually, I thought I had 3 Roms, but one
had "sexual problems". No big deal. Watch your Roms--and look for females with prolific pre-flowering. Also,
keep in mind that I like to veg for a long time--2 months min. This time I let them go 72 days. Actually, I
wouldn't have done it if I didn't have those pH/slow growing problems--but everything worked out in the end.
Each plant yielded 1-2 oz. each. Not bad for a tiny closet. Hell, that's enough to set me up for MONTHS!
Comments: Romberry's a peach. What a nice high--ya can't get that grin off your face. The flavor's coming out
as the cure progresses.” - shaggy

Growers Comments:
"I've grown the shishke topped and cola style on two occasions and would say that shishke is a better yielder
with tighter spacing and no topping. When I topped shishke at the 5th-6th node it got bigger than I wanted it.
The best yields I've seen with that plant were in a friends garden at 4 per sq/ft with almost all extraneous
branches pruned, it produced very solid foot long colas in a 2 foot garden. Pruning the lower branches in my
experience gives better growth to everything above them wait a few weeks after you start 12/12 and you'll have
a good idea of which ones to clip." – Shiva
"I was impressed with the quality and the amount of resin. Yield was pretty good(could have been better but
my stupid girl partner killed my best shisk mother). Flowering time was 40 days and not 6 weeks as advertised.
How did yours compare. My high was of the deep hit you with a hammer burn me out indica stone. Not too
much blueberry influence though." -The Chronic
"I just harvested 3 HUGE Shiskeberries grown outdoors (ask sly about them). Had 3 sizes but all eventually put
out approx. the same amount of finished product. The biggest one had the highest leaf-calyx ratio while the
smallest one's ratio was reversed and the 3 made up 1.9 lbs. total of dry, manicured bud with the smallest one
(still 5.5' tall) having the biggest colas (2 14-18" beer can size colas from a once pinched plant) and the
biggest (just under 11'tall w/o pinching) having a large assortment of "branch buds" along with a nice main
cola...and of course the middle one fell in between (also unpinched). Good buzz and taste but there's better
out there imho. Too much waste overall in my experience with it compared to other strains and lots of
trim-work to make them look nice. But it is a pretty plant that's fun to watch grow and minimal care. I did a few
last winter indoors (finished outdoors) that never got to the size/quantity/quality of the outdoor grow...also
only got 1 f out of 5 with the indoor and 3 f's out of 5 with the outdoor grow (if that makes any difference) but
all 10 did germinate in just the simple "finger poke in the soil" method. Btw, I purchased mine last winter from
HBC in person." -m.g.
"I received an order of Shiskeberry from Laughing Moon some time ago. The buds are fat and sticky with a
very hashy almost mocha smell. So far no purple, but two of them have a very Blueberry look to them, based
upon pictures of Blueberry I have seen, but with a definite Afghani influence. The only problem I have with the
Shiskeberry is the smell. It is very strong and although not entirely distinguishable for what it is, it is enough to
make me paranoid about someone catching a whiff of it outside." Duke of Herb
"On Shishkeberry: I just finished up the Shiskaberry and I have a few notes on it, if anyone is interested. A
friend made my seeds; parents were Breeder Steve’s seeds. The notes below are only from one of the
Shiskaberrys that I have tested. With further testing I will find the definitive Shiska mum.
Aroma - The smell put a smile on a friends face tonight when I pulled out da' sample. But kaka has yet to
smell a thing. Allergies are a killin' and ka ain't a smellin'. A bunch of Shisks are drying and I can’t smell
them.
Buzz- The first time I smoked some Shiskaberry yesterday it really didn’t stone me. Today it has whipped me
:) A few hits on the way to school were a few too many, it hit and I became unmotivated. This evening a friend
and I finished off two bowls and it was quite the experience. Fair amount of visual distortion, lots of laughs
which lead to tears and falling on floor. Totally a fun indica. I place it a little below the NL x shiva in power
level, but still above average. I'd put the Shisk in the social indica category, with the nlxshiva toward the
unsociable side. I did have to pull myself from the couch also.
Taste- Taste is mostly hashy. Expando in the lung is nice, exhale is smooth and left with a hint of
sweetness/berryness aftertaste. Taste is good, this sample I would put taste on the mild side. I'll have to see
what kind of differences there are in the mums.
Yield- While there were some runts in the group, most of the plants ended up heavy yielders. Plants were
started tight but eventually spaced at 1/ft2. Two or three a sq. ft would have been killer. 3 mothers had the
fattest buds with the top yielder being a topped Shisk. Yield would be well above average, especially
considering flowering time, which ran me 49 days. For comparison the Shiskaberry's buds are larger than the
nlxshiva next to it.
Bud appearance- Buds look silver because they are so covered in crystals. Hairs are orange and few leaves that
remain are dark. Buds look great, in this reviewer's humble opinion. Bud density is definitely above average.
General notes- Shiskaberry is freaking leafy and takes tons of time to manicure, not that I'm complaining.
There is so much resin on leaves including fan leaves that screening is a possibility. Lots of sticky fingers. The
Shisks were around 80 days old from seed and were done quickly in search of a good mother. As soon as
drying has finished I'll offer up some weight numbers. Plants sizes were from 2'(runts) to 3'(fatties)." - kaka
"I'm on my 4th crop of Shishkeberry. I've grown topped and untopped. I would say top after the 5th or 6th
internode. Depending on how much room (height) you have. Clip lowest 2 side branches too, as they will
normally not make it to the top of the canopy and won't produce good flowers. If you train the plant right you
will have from 8 to 12 colas per plant. The plant will finish between 2.5 and 3 feet tall. My current grow I tried
growing 2 plants per container and its too crowded. Because Shishke is so bushy/big leaf I would try to grow no
more than 1 plant per sq. foot." - Shishke
“Shishkeberry did great in the desert. very stony, stupor inducing indica with bb (sort of) flavor. very smelly
during flowering...so use caution where ya plant it. it's as easy to grow as any other and clones easy. but very
stiff branches/trunk so hard to train during veg w/o breaking stems. not terribly tall...maybe 6-8'... but I
suggest it be grown at 45-60 degree angle from start if finish plant-height is a prob. most excellent long and
large "beer-can-cola" (among the best buds I’ve ever seen) buds on main stem with all branches
producing...so I’d say above avg. yield too. IOW, I would never kick her out of the bed... btw, I’m at 36
degrees latitude +/- with long, hot season but Shishke finished around end of Sept to mid-Oct, if I recall
correctly. it did finish before the majority, at any rate.” – m.g.

Growers Comments:
“More information on StoneBlue: Day 37 of 12/12- Very uniform hybrid, indica dominant expressed in two
sub-phenotypes. More resin at this point than nc5a or blueberry; the individual glands are smaller but more
profuse. The smell is very similar to blueberry and nc5a. Appears that the aroma gene has been fixed quite
well in blueberry. Sample tokes at this time produce quite a strong physical effect (on me at least) with typical
strong indica stone. I expect flowering to be in the 60-day range. Some fan leaves will turn yellow - this
appears normal as all other parameters are in order. Yield estimated from visual comparison to bb and nc5a
looks much better than the other two strains. StoneBlue has very good lateral branching. 5 seeds were
germinated, of 5 seedlings I ended up with 4 females. This plant will need more than 6 weeks veg for full
sexual maturity, at week six of veg the nodes had just begun to alternate.” - Lady J
