I can agree, the sativa dominant pheno in the HSO Blue Dream is by far the winner. I just cut down 4 of them, all similar but also very different. I am running all of them again and will get a better idea on how they run from clone, already in flower now.
1 - Was the shortest, single cola dominant even though I topped it. Still had a bunch of other thick colas surrounding the main one, I really liked the structure on this one and had the most indica dominance out of the bunch. It was done at around Day 63 from seed. Nice looking colas/buds. Has very little smell that can be made out - didn't smell the plant much at all until chop and then it was just typical weed smell. Yielded 9 o in a 7 gallon smart pot
2 - One of the best growers I have had, overall tied for best yield, buds similar to number 1 except this one was average blue dream height. 2nd frostiest, had a good smell to it. Sort of some rotten berry funk going on. Cut at day 70 - Probably the best pheno all around for yield/ growth / smell etc. Indica/sativa hybrid - leaning a little more sativa. A bunch of colas all about the same height with very little pop corn - typical blue dream structure. yielded 11 o in a 7 gallon smart pot.
3- The winner by far, earlier in veg it didn't grow quite as good as 2 and 4 it stayed shorter like 1 but once it went into flower it was a stretchy girl. Pretty thin long sativa leaves. Outgrew all the others by a little bit. Stank up the room the whole grow, and when cut it is some of the dankest smelling buds I have ever had the pleasure to chop. It was straight rotten berry funk. No denying the smells here, you can definitely smell the berry smell very clearly, but it also has a very rotten typical weed funk with it. Some of the best smelling herb I have had. Frost for days, these buds were coated! I took it a little longer then I was hoping for, cut it at 80 days - could have cut at 70 but I believe the extra 10 helped slightly. You can tell it has SSH dominant structure /buds . I am so surprised out of all of the plants this is the most blueberry smelling of the bunch. Yielded 14 o in a 10 gallon smart pot. I will be keeping this one for a very very long time unless Bodhis dream lotus put it to shame. If they are similar I will just breed them together and save some beans for later.
4 - The ugly sister. She grew fairly tall, typical blue dream structure. I supercropped and broke the shit out of the main tops on this one. The 2 main ones grew huge buds. Each weighing in about 1.5 ounces each. This girl is probably the best grower of the bunch. Yes I am running it again as well, I vegged all 4 before being done so they have another shot. I don't think I am keeping a clone from this one though. Number 2 and 4 are similar in veg growth, very fast rapid growth but this one still beats all of them. During flowering it had an awful amount of leaves. I have never seed such leafy bud ever, you couldn't hardly see any bud underneath it all. It was very strange rounded leaves covering everything. It was a pain in the ass to trim because of this, and had almost no smell - similar to number 1. The least amount of trichomes of the bunch. The bud structure was just so different, I can't explain it. I wish I could combine this ones growth with number 3 buds. Not a horrible plant mind you, just the others were so much better. Cut at 70 days, yielded 12o in a 10 gallon smart pot.
Overall I was very satisfied with these plants. I have one other Blue Dream still in flower, it was thrown in 12/12 from seedling so it is a ways behind these but finishing up. Not much to say about it really as I let it grow natural, buds similar to number 1. Not really much smell to it either. It seems like in flower about half the plants have a lack of smell you get from most flowering cannabis. But the other 1/3-1/2 reek of blueberry funk. I am very happy with these and would recommend to anyone for an easy grow. There is a big difference in phenotypes as far as strength and bud structure goes. Although the plant structures are all very similar. I flowered these much smaller then I wanted to and they turned out larger then plants I vegged for twice as long before this. I love how they have very little popcorn on the bottoms and don't tend to put out many side shoots. The only complaint I have is I am used to 60-65 day flowering strains but I believe ran from clone these can be pulled at 62-65, and my keeper sativa pheno probably at 65-70.
I have grown HSO Green Crack, and HSO 707 Headband as well. All great plants. For fems you can't go wrong with them. They sure beat most other fem breeders I have tried by a long shot.
