if it is infact a clone only strain, i have seen different plants being called blue dream at different dispensaries. and in my opinion, there is really no way to know exactly what you are getting in clone form from those places. in reality there is nothing to keep people from using the same name that has been used in the past. as such, i don't really think the "pheno thing is outta the way"
obviously you and loaded have different plants that are both called blue dream.... but only yours could be the real one right? there is no way in hell that you just got a female plant that someone called blue dream, that would be impossible. i guess TLD is full of shit... because you were the one that bred the seed right? too bad you only made one.
hey bubb, check it out...this is a cross between dj short bluberry and a haze. this dj short strain was donated and the breeders (the oaksterdam nursery) turned it into blue dream, and sold it at the old sr-71 coffee shop (now blue sky) as well as affiliate clubs like Fruitridge Wellness Center. This is a strait norcal strain that has made its way all over the US by clone. wow that jsgrwm guy has some insight...perhaps it is because i have been in the MMJ movement for some time. And yes there is a fem plant that is called blue dream, you are slowly confirming my ignorance statement from earlier. let me break it down, seeds get to breeder, breeder crosses them, breeder grows them out, breeder selects the best one, a reveg can occur here to create clone only or cutting taken before flower can be labeled and saved, they are distributed to a select few dispensaries, clubs sell the strain to patients, patiets grow this lovely herb, some create more clones and distribute them to other patients and clubs...some clubs will purchase clones that are claimed to be BD, but some clubs are not the brightest, they basically have to take the vendors word for it. so i can see a few straglers plants out there that are not BD. after a bit of convo from loaded i do not think this is the case with his BD. i think he has the real deal and his technique and nute regiment make the plant look a bit different.
also steadman, consider that some of the fem clones hermed out and seeded, some may call these BD seeds, when this is not really the case. but anyhhow...yes your statement "there is no way in hell that you just got a female plant that someone called blue dream, that would be impossible" is a very narrow point of view and is quite frankly WRONG. find another thread to spread your BS opinion. we like facts around here...and one more thing, those who have seen the product and grown it out, know what is BD. see medmary's example, looks just like my nugz
