Dj short can be as litigious as he wants. Look into what it takes for folks to get copyright/trademark/patent on flowers. That dude hasn't done anywhere near the amount of work necessary for his blueberry to be considered stable enough to apply.

At least that's my understanding of how plant legalities work. It's gotta be like 99% stable.

What breeders do for us is great don't get me wrong, but when you compare them to ornamental guys or veg producers they are just no where near obviously. The laws are made for those guys. Not Cannabis folks with all the different pheno's.

Nice resin rails on that GojiStardawg, I hope mine are that greasy...
They just hit flower, I post my pics @ the other site when they're close 2 finish.

I only got 4/9 females of stardawg x goji f3.
Did you get any that smell like lime turpentine during veg?
Sure did. I called it sprite and sharpies though. Have 3 in flower with that smell.

I wouldn't describe Blueberry Hill as weak necessarily. I can see some people liking it. For me, it's not the most tasteful strain, slight berry but overwhelming on the pepper backend. All in all, it's just a middle of the road strain. She's pretty and a producer, but I've been contemplaing removing her now for a while now.

Eta: I'd bet F2 would be very interesting in all honesty

I think I'm done keeping clones. With all the seeds I have it just seems pointless. I'll probably never get through them as is and keeping clones is just holding me back. So far I haven't met a strain I can't live without. Seems more fun getting to try as many genetics as I can. We'll see if I can resist though....Taking clones is a HABIT.

I've considered that, but sometimes something special pops up and I'd hate to let it go if it has the therapeutic benefits I'm looking for. I also like bringing out the full potential on a strain, which on the first go may not be apparent. Another benefit with clones is I get to know the strain, and can reliably know the end product.

Every bean is an adventure. Some are good, some are disappointing, and I enjoy the gamble but I also like to have a reliable garden where I know I can expect certain plants to perform and still have the ability to find new gems.

I like a mix of booth, popping new seeds but keeping atleast 1 generation of clones in case it is something special like ty said but if they arent some really nice snoke all the strains I have going atm will be rotated out soon.
I mean seeds are fun but there is the gamble they wont be the smoke you are looking for, which is why I dont usually pop 1 strain at a time.

Thanks Tonightyou!
I can forget the Blueberry Hill then huh.
So since there is no more Appalachia male that means there will be no more Sunshine Daydream or Lucky charms then Right?
If so I feel blessed to have packs of both in my Bodhi collection which is not done yet.
I recently popped 4 SSDD.2 males and 2 females. One female is a very slow bud developer w/pale green leaves, not very impressive to me, but the other female is amazing. I cant believe how much resin was produced by day 20 in flower. The leaves are very dark green through out the whole plant still. I was kinda pissed at the time I did not clone this amazing plant, so just for the hell of it I snipped off 4 clones with tiny buds on it and put it back in veg for kicks. Not even 10 days later massive roots start to fly out my jiffys.Fuck ya. Cant wait to post pics of this beauty soon as I upgrade my 15 year old digital camera. I will keep this plant around a while and share it with a few fellow growers.
Bro as long as a plant is still growing don't ever be scared to take cutting late into flower. Lots of people use this technique which is called monstercropping and when you take a clone from in flower the built up hormones will cause the plant to branch out and grow many tops without being topped. Glad you was able to keep that lady that looks good.

I thought DJ Short didn't mind people using his Blueberry in crosses just not using it to further the line and make money of it but I may be wrong. I've heard a lot of good and bad about him but I don't get into all that cus it doesn't apply to me fareal cus I'm not out here trying to make crosses for sale. It's good tho that there's people in the game that has respect for other people like Bodhi cus most wouldn't give two fucks. More people need to be like this but when you talking big money it can change a bunny rabbit to a wolf

Yes to taking late cuts. The plant will go through an ugly and bizarre stage but the end result is a very large plant with many tops when you end up flowering her out. The only annoyance I have with late cuts is the time it takes to get back to flower.

Watch how the ones you dont take clones from turn out the best haha Keep the best and get rid of the rest right? Nothing can touch my Goji so they just get ran a couple times then it's on to poppin the next.. I finally got some ladies out of my testers so I'm contemplating just flowering my blue widow and green crack clones in their solo cups to make that space, so I completely feel ya..

One of the reasons I ditched the Malawi was to make room. Damn things took up valuable space for about 14 weeks and overtook everything. Lesson learned about pure sativas indoors.

Upside is I have very decent sized plants ready to sex/flower. I was running out of space but this gave me the chance to make room and narrow down what I'm looking for. The only keeper I consider that I have is my SSDD and Goji at this point. Still keeping others around as I either haven't seen their full potential from my summer run (see how long taking clones in flower can take to become proper?), or I'm on the fence.

The ones you don't clone seem to end up being the ones you wish you did. I regret not cloning the Afghan Kush Special from WOS. She was an awesome example of indica plants with a wonderful bouquet of floral aromas.

Right now I'm thinking the MLI won't make the cut. This is a sister of a previous run. She isn't done yet so it's not fair to judge, but while she blows the fuck out of my eyes, the effects are a bit mild for my liking. She didn't hold a flame to the relaxing effects of SSDD nor the pain killing qualities I'd rather have. She isn't bad, just not necessarily worth keeping around when there are better plants out there and in the stable.

In fact this reflection is thinking that this Blueberry Hill will be the last run for this girl. Got enough other beans I'm interested in, and I'm excited to see any females that come from it.

I had a lemon zinger that was almost finished. I lost her to a heat wave when I was house sitting. I thought I cloned her, but it turned out I didn't. She was absolutely stunning, loud lemon aromas and was looking like a 9 week plant. At that point I became much more diligent in note taking (obviously some are wary of doing so, but simply use encryption for ones notes, all my machines are encrypted), and labeling. Somehow the plant I thought was lemon zinger was a clone of a male of probably pagoda. I've now found tongue depressor sticks make cheap, and great labeling tools for the container plants.

Eta: if you are interested in encryption feel free to PM, me. It isn't hard to do and I firmly believe any device holding personal information should be encrypted

Haha! They can be a challenge for sure. Any time I grow a Sativa I try to flip them to flower super-early. 8"-12" max. Once you've grown it a couple times and get a feel for the stretch and any other special needs you can dial in the size of the finished plant a little better.

I need to update the Ace thread, I'll go into more detail there but only way I could imagine working these plants in a small space is to really go scrog. The damn things easily could have reached 7 to 8 feet based on how at the point of chop, vertical growth still hadn't stopped.

Eta: it was am adventure and learning experience nonetheless, I don't regret trying but I now have a better understanding why these strains can be difficult

Still, you have to really have that special place for a Satty high, they really do demand a lot more conscious decision making at first. If they aren't your thing then it must be pure annoyance.

Very unique plants that's for sure. Definitely requires space and patience. I have the latter, just not the former.

TOTALLY understand that. I have 3 flowering areas though. With the breeders I have and the crosses I chose for my tastes, it's almost unheard of to get nothing good. Usually I have to decide what I want to keep for myself. Rest goes to my co-op (all family members). In the event of all beans sucking, everything is hashed..... But that has yet to happen.:)

Ya normally I don't take clones because I have tons of beans to pop, but this SSDD just looked to special to let go just yet. Cant even say its special yet but ya never know. Just put my 1000w bulb on her at noon.
Hell I could not imagine any more bud sites then it already has. Tons of them. Topped it once.
