You've got the right idea @seedcollector82

The best Blue work I have seen in the modern era are in-crosses of the best blue lines, with strong backbones, like Bodhi's 88G13/HP.

Blueberry Sativa bx3 x Blueberry Hashplant could be really promising.

A breeder whose gear i have been growing, Native Sun Genetics, had been F6'ing DJ Short's Blueberry & allegedly he's bringing the berry terps back to the forefront like they used to be.

I brought it to his attention that he lists it as F5 because it SHOULD in fact be F6, i know for a fact he was pheno hunting F5 beans.

Correct.

The Blueberry muffin smell also did NOT come from the mutated growth trait. This was due to severe inbreeding towards an effect based selection. Dj selected for effects, not aromas. He didn't care if the plants were mutants. He wanted to lock in what he was selecting for.

Sagarmatha, Dutch Passion, & Breeder Steve acquired the original seed stock from Dj in the late 90's. They grew out 1000's, selected away from mutations, and bred towards the blue flavor. The mutations were so severe, they initially thought he induced them chemically.

The Canadian rooms are where F13, Sweet Tooth, Bluebonic, and the BC Blueberry Indica were spawned from.

The European rooms are where the Blueberry Moonshine, Blue Velvet, Bubble-berry, Colorado Flo, and others clones - like Verdant Green's Blueberry Sativa.

Lemonhoko has a decent, but muddied Blueberry Bx. I say it is lacking, because I don't want White Indica or Fire Alien OG hiding in a Blueberry backcross as the backbone. They don't compliment the original clone only and add a mess of recessive genetics that will show themselves in outcrosses.
I had bubbleberry awhile back and it was wicked good.

DJ Short has got another one out under his company name. Old world Genetics, but is actually a collaboration with DJ, and Blue Star Seed company Its a 98 F4 x 95 F4 cross of original Blueberry. I think the 95 F4 female came from his buddy. I bought 2 packs of it from ww.coolbeansedbank.com Its a one time release, and for some reason they killed the 98 F4 male, which sounds kind of stupid. Time will tell if they pan out.

Nobody freezes seeds on here? Ok.
Dont freeze them. Get a Vacuum Sealer that will vacuum seal mylar bags. Put the mylar bags in a glass canning jar, and dark one is best. Put a desiccant in the jar. Store the jar in the back of the fridge at 38f. This will keep seeds for 10 or more years. \
Freeezing is tricky, and can cause the seeds to burst because of moisture.

Thanks for the advice.

Wish DJ would make female seeds !!
He does have a joint project with blue star that they just made family blues v3 which I believe is female seeds of a dj short blueberry crossed with a Mayberry s1 which is dj short blueberry crossed with deathstar. So not exactly pure dj short fems but it is a joint cross as blue star works very closely with dj now.

As far as I've understood, dj has not lost his genetics or necessarily bred away from blueberry. It's more a matter of perspective and history for how blueberry was released. The first releases of blueberry were done by dj providing parent stock to other breeders such as Dutch passion and sagarmartha and those breeders did their own selection and released blueberry. These breeders could have very well lost the genetics they were originally using. But the current dj short offering is with his selections as he wanted them and he has always maintained that his parent stock is not lost as far as I've seen. So there will of course be differences with flavors and effects as they were different parents and the other breeders could have selected towards more blueberry and less towards DJ's preferred selections. He also very well could still have old parent seed stock around to do more/different selections as it is what it seems is stated for the 90's blues release.
