I mentioned in an earlier post that other than foxtailing due to too much light I was really happy with the results. I've got a few more of that cut flowering right now, plus another 4 or 5 phenos going that haven't been sexed yet. I just had a PH issue and did some damage, but they should bounce back.
Nice, must have missed it. how about the effects ? Strong indica ?

I'm looking forward to hearing from Saboo on this. On Peak's website, his strains are described as either strong or very strong in potency.
This one is listed as very strong. I've read from others that his BB is a happy, euphoric, uplifting indica. Hopefully I'll get some good bud from the four I planted last week.

Like I said gents, I already posted about this. See post 1569 in this very thread.

Aah, lol, how did I forget post 1569? Seriously though, you're right, I read through this entire thread a few weeks ago, I should have looked back.
Saboo, here's a pic of my ugliest, crinkle-leaf PSBC Blueberry plant. The other three look more normal but this one's just damn ugly! Did you have any that looked as bad as this one? Sorry that the pic isn't perfectly in focus, but you can see how mutated this plant looks.

Ugly is good with BB, and mutations are not uncommon in seedlings :) . IIRC, it even says so on the PSBC site(the mutation part). If you can keep it healthy, it'll be fine. Just remember that not only are they sensitive to overfeeding, big PH swings will also piss them off.
Once you find the upper and lower levels for PH and the upper level for PPM for your garden and grow style, BB isn't that difficult, in my experience. Best of luck.

Glad you mentioned over feeding. I’ve been growing organically with slow release dry amendments (Gaia Green) and guano, ewc etc. along with compost and seed sprout teas. This year my plan is to go full living soil for everything. I still have much to learn but curious if I should worry about the BB. I’ve never had any over feeding problems with other strains but that’s a small sample. PH is another issue all together lol, had some struggles there but straightened all that out.

And in the 'don't get cocky' department, after the better part of this year with no significant issues, I dun fuked up.

Not sure exactly how it happened(though I have theories), but I screwed up a feed or two and there is visible damage throughout most of the veg tent. The White Wolf from L13 and JOTI's Black Cali Grapes are showing PH issues though not horribly, and the poor blueberries have PH trouble and nute burn. Even managed to put some burn on the BB that's in the last month of flower. :(

They are already bouncing back and it doesn't look there will be any fatalities. Hopefully just time lost in veg. I'm a little worried about the flowering blueberry, though it still smells good. Fingers crossed.

I'll just take it as a reminder that it's possible to mess up months of work with a little bit of careless, and to not be a dumbass. :oops:

Shoot! Always lessons to be learned eh? Glad to hear everyone’s on the mend. What are you feeding?

Thanks. :) Yup, always. I don't mind. I believe the saying that an expert is someone who has already made every possible mistake.
Knowledge and mastery come from facing and overcoming adversity, so every time I screw up, as long as I learn, it's an overall positive. (great way to justify mistakes, yes?:roll::wink:)

What are you feeding?
I'm all about KISS, ie Keep It Simple, Stoner.
MaxiBloom powder all the way through, with a bit of CaMg and Si. PPM generally between 700 and 800.

Blueberry genetics are always fussy and a pain to dial in. I have faith in you, Saboo.

I chopped the Blueberry 9 days ago. It ended up coming down in multiple sessions to allow lower flowers to finish and I didn't get any plant shots unfortunately. This pheno isn't as colourful as earlier runs and has some foxtailing from too much light, but holy shit is it powerful.

I've got a bunch of different strains, well-cured and top quality in the jars, but I can't leave the BB alone. The smell and taste are sweet berry with a bunch of little, hard to identify undertones. The effect is heavy, happy and definitely not for those of lower tolerance.
I know sure there's other amazing stuff out there, but I think my search is over for now. I've found my holy grail indica.
Saboo, this post of yours is what's keeping me excited about my PSBC BB grow. Did you have any hermie issues with this strain? I've read a lot about this, but mostly with Dutch Passion's BB. I'll email MikeJ at Peak to see what he says, then post back. I'm wondering if I should keep a close eye on them when they start to flower. Thanks.

Some week 5F Kush x NL smelling very pungent, hashy, and a bit sweet. Seems like it'll be useful for becoming one with the couch.
The Kush x NL is excellent all-around, and even when it's definitely Indica-dominant, it's not totally couch lock, there is a bit of Sativa in there that allows for mental stimulation... so it's sort of a psychedelic couch, not a narcotic experience

Early samples match your description. Some buzz in the head at first, fading to couch after a bit. Potent.

My opinion on BB and everything else is only that. I share my thoughts and experiences, but have no illusions that either are especially significant. That said, I do hope you have a great BB grow.

I haven't had any herm issues with any Peak gear. I don't think I've ever seen a nanner on any of my plants, tbh. Not saying I've never had any, just that I've not seen them, nor had any accidental seeding issues.

If it sets your mind at ease at all, I've got about 5 different PSBC BB phenos vegging right now and a couple are normal looking pot plants and a couple are ugly messes. As long as there is no discoloration and they keep growing, I have no concerns. I've seen twisted and misshapen, I've seen weird little single fingers at the base of each leaf that grew in a circular pattern, it's just blueberry. :)

Not sure anyone should have any faith in me or my skills, but almost everything has bounced back. I've been picking damaged leaves and the veg tent mostly looks good. Sadly, the one casualty was significant to me. It was the first flowering female of my first new cross (Seedsman White Widow x PSBC Northern Lights). I not only buggered the feed, there were other errors at the same time that were cumulative. I ended up culling it as the damage was severe and I didn't want to waste another 4 or 5 weeks of flowering space on it only to have it be garbage.
-------------------------
The two PSBC SSxHaze are both sprouted. The first is doing well and went from a 2" to a 6" pot today. The second popped a tap root out but needed help cracking the shell the rest of the way open and then again shedding the inner seed-casing. It's finally a happy little sprout, but well behind its sibling.

I'm looking at the peakseedsbc website and looks like Mike had just increased the price per pack to $60. Is this for Canadian too? If so, this sucks! I would think twice about buying Mike's seed now. $40 was a no brainer and I would recommend Mike's seeds whenever I get a chance. But now, PeakSeedsBC is just like any other breeders now with overpriced seeds.

$60 doesn't seem over priced at all. Seems going rate.
I think Mike has been very generous with his pricing, and equally generous with the freebies. I am not offended if he had to raise prices.

That price includes free shipping. At $15 for shipping he was making $25 a pack so I'd say he was a little on the low end of pricing. You're getting real inbred lines and true hybrids also.
Mike usually chucks in free beans with each order too.

Ok. $60 is fair and not over priced as I exaggerated. But still, $60 is just normal pricing and I would think twice before buying. Case in point, I was going to order a bunch more but now I am NOT due to price increase. I can find much better value with BeanHoarder Seeds now instead.

Sigh...
