I am currently running Blue OG, and when put into flower she stretches like you wouldn't believe. I assume this is the tall phenotype? Has anyone else encountered this? If so how long did it take to flower? Because the strain is 7-weeks and there is no way that it will ready in 8-weeks. I'm quite pissed off, excuse my language but I was expecting a short, compact plant, not a tall plant. I do not like tall plants. Anyone? Any insight to this strain will be helpful. Preferably on this specific phenotype of this strain.
Blue OG Phenotypes
- Thread starter SK1/ABB
- Start date
I also have ultra sour & lemon Thai kush. I crossed the blue OG with both of these strains and they turned out marvelous.
The ultra sour x blue OG finishes within 8-8.5 weeks, which I don't get that but it does.
Lemon thai x blue OG finished right at 9-weeks give or take a couple days.
This is the first run with the blue OG though. I crossbred it before I performed an actual run with it.
So why would these crosses finish before the actual blue OG strain itself? This strain baffles me to no end.

Well first off bro if you wanted short compact plants you need to search for plants that have that in they're genetic profile.
If you didn't know the OG in this cross is a very stretchy strain. It always has been and always will be. The Blueberry in this cross also has some stretch to it so that's why you have a very tall plant. The only way to control this is to top and train it to be lower.
It's great that you were able to cross it and make some nice crosses of it but if you had never run the mom truly why would you cross it not knowing the way it grows or even if it was a good mom to be crossed to. When breeding lots of time goes into choosing the male and female and it best to understand both of them before trying to cross them
The reason why your crosses are finishing before the Blue OG is because the other parent has cut the flowering time down some. This goes back to knowing how fast the parents of the cross flower and many more things to be able to get an idea of how it will do in a cross. Before making anymore crosses I suggest you run the parents and learn about them as much as possible take notes and then go from there. Hopes this helps

I understand what you are saying, and thanks. What I was mainly asking was about the phenotypes of the Blue OG. I know there is a short strain, or so I've read. I do appreciate you're input on the crossbreeding though. I've read that the tall phenotype of Blue OG take awhile to flower.
Here is one I trained of the Blue OG. This is four days from being 7-weeks. I thought it would be farther along than it is. I know an acquaintance that has the same strain, but his finishes right at 8-weeks. Again though he has the short phenotype. We have the same strain, but his is shorter, mine taller.

No problem bro. The only way to find other phenos is to pop more seeds. If you want a short pheno of the Blue OG pop some more seeds and get to hunting. If you like he one you got keep it and train it to be a bush. Top it multiple time if you have to to keep her short or SCROG her.
She looks very good bro you got her dialed in. Since you don't like how stretchy it is you can get rid of her since you have crosses of her that finish faster. Also sometime clones run faster so the clone run could finish faster than seed

all the OGs i have seen were extremely stretchy, my blue moonshine
barely stretched a little. OGs tend to breed pretty dominant, guess that
the height gene was passed on. there will probably be a couple phenotypes
in the pack that will be shorter, but the majority will probably be tall. even
blue moonshine doubles in flower, OGs typically stretch 4-5x their original
height.
