Dutch Passion Blueberry

[mike357]

i've heard alot of negative comments about dp blueberry and how it is a pain in the ass to grow. could anybody with actual experience growing this strain give me some feedback. is it really finicky about nutes or sould i just start weak and build up and see. I thought that dutch passion was a reputable breeder, but i have heard a lot of negative reports about this strain. everybody that finished the crop has said that it is awesome smoke but it is a pain in the ass to deal with while growing. if any of my fellow growers out there have any "real life" experience with this strain could you please answer about any specifics about growing this strain. i believe i have a good set up and i think i would like to try this one, but i don't want to start growing crap genetics. any advice-- please

Not the hardest strain, but definitely not the easiest. Go easy on the nutes, tends to hermie with any stress. It is kind of a pain in the ass, but well worth it!

 

[mike357]

thanks REEFS! good lookin out. any body got any other advice about this strain? oh yeah, + rep reefs.

i got d.p. bluberry myself,though i have
not cracked them,a few poeple that i
know have grow them and said if you
let them flower to long they will hermi
and that you get some with the crinckly
leaf pheno,apart from that they smoke well.

i will be popping mine after xmas/early 09

So that crinkly leaf pheno is somewhat known? I saw one grow for 4 months and it never grew over 8" had a SHIT LOAD of nodes and the leaves were like long thin fingers. Most of the leaves never formed in the normal shape, they were just crinkly long stringy leaves. Even in flower it never did anything so it was tossed. Kind of turned me off to blueberry but I've been reconsidering.

 

[flashgee]

yeah the crinckle leaf pheno pops up in most packs of 10seeds
at least 1 or 2 times,i think is a cool mutent that could be used
to cross with others like ducksfoot or abc (bastardweed) to get
some weird looking weed (stelth)

i got 5 fem seeds once from dp, 4 were all mutant and really crappy didn't even look like cannabis! but the 1 that turned out was knockout i was using dutch formula advanced hydro nutrients at the time and just doing half strength in my soil. it really has a flavor and smell all of its own, gonna try it in organic soon

 

[mike357]

did you not flower or smoke the 4 mutants ?

I bought 2 fem seeds from Attitudes Pick n Mix. DP must have changed their strain since the trouble the guys above had because the plants I have growing are the most beautiful I've grown, the only anomoly is 6 bud nodes. Really, realy, really cool. I've heard the gnarled leaf and hard to grow stories too, maybe DP has just improved their strain - I've read that they us DJ Short's strain.

I've got 3 flowering in aero, 1 in DWC, & 1 in B'Cuzz (all at 4 weeks); a mother vegging in aero and two cuttings rooting in a bubbler.

I find it very easy to grow so far, but this is my first grow of it. If the buds fill out anything like the plants veg they be amazing, there's already massive trichnome production.

Here's a thread discussing the best BB strain:

no man, they grew very slowley and there was only like two very long deformed leaves at each node. i just cut them all down but now thinking on it it would be interesting to see one go full term.

 

[flashgee]

would be nice to see if its a good smoke.
if i get any in mine i will grow them out
or if they are male save pollen to cross
with something...there might be a hiden
gem in there somewhere.

 

[trichopath]

the end product of a good blueberry plant is a orgy for the senses,you wont be disappointed

i got dp bluberry going rite now, grows very fast, mother plant is about 18" after 40days ... i also got some clones goin .. still waitin to see roots

 

[flashgee]

even if you only get one keeper its well worth it
imho ,you got take the rough with the smooth
when it comes to the blueberry.but every plant
that gets through to the end of flower is always
a keeper.

growing out a bunch of blueberry avoiding the
pit falls of hermies,mutents,nute burn,so on
is all part of the joys of growing and knowing your doing it right.

 

[420weedman]

i cant wait till the blueberry clones show roots ... cuz they goin rite to flowering.
i orederd like 7 different femd strains included dp BB.
germd 4 ,planted 4 , and now i have 4 very nice mother plants.
shits easy peasy

 

[420weedman]

bb clones now showing roots

[mike357]

thanks for all the replies, i think i'm going to give it a try, i love a challenge. i've smoked this strain before and it tasted like candy. i think it should be worth the effort.

 

[flashgee]

if you do make sure that you pop back
to this tread and let us know how your
doing

i've grown dp's bb twice. this second time they were heavy feeders. mucho trichomes and good yield. not a hard grow at all.
