For 5 seeds. I thought I mentioned that somewhere. Anyway, that's what I usually buy. Don't really have room to start 10 or something.
Blue Pyramid ?

Nice, at least you know they're legit. Didn't know they were available in 1-packs, the feminized I've bought were in 5-packs. Are these autos or feminized? Nothing stating it on the packaging. All along I've been talking about the feminized, have never run an auto...

I buy from a seed bank in Europe who collects and buys the seeds from the breeders, so they sell singles, 5 packs and 10 packs. And they are photo, I only have 2 autos going lol
And yeah they are nice I didn't even want to open the galaxy pack it's pretty lol

Yes, I only bought one seed, the most expensive seed on earth. I mean no, for 5 seeds. And the reason I'm posting is because I said at one point that BP was bud rot resistant. Well, when I grew a couple a few years ago they didn't get bud rot, but this time no resistance whatsoever, at least no more than any other strain. So, really nothing going for it. Just another fucking seed mill strain where you get a lot of variation and pretty much every one is bad. My suggestion for Blueberry fans would be to go to the breeder himself, DJ Short, since he does sell them himself. Overpriced but at least might be worth it.
To me, Blueberry is just another relic strain from the pre Chemdawg hybrid days, like White Widow, Skunk and Northern Lights. Might be good to grow for old school type weed fans but for sheer potency and quality of high, probably best to look at more modern strains. Bottom line, BP just didn't make the cut, like a whole bunch of other seed mill mediocre strains. Might be able to find a good pheno if you grew out 100 but is it really worth it? Maybe other Pyramid Seed strains are good though, this is the only one I tried. So I shouldn't really say seed mill for certain, but on the seed milly side.

Here's my Blue Pyramid pheno at Day 21. This one's in a 5 gal fabric pot, super-cropped to spread it out and guided through trellises in the pots. It's ~20"W x 33"L and 28" high from the soil. Should produce ~3.5 zips dry. Had it out to hit the bottom/center branch with my Blue Ripper F1 male. 2nd pic is one of the pollinated buds, you can see the hairs turned relish and receded ~12 hours after hitting it. Running it at 11.5/12.5 and 660nm/730nm initiators. Expecting it to finish ~50-52 days.

Mine did turn out quite potent in the end, just also harsh. Didn't smell or taste like berries but did have a nice weed smell. The taste was unremarkable, somewhat tart. Yield was actually quite good. Not going to keep it going, due to the general unremarkability, but it was worth the seed price I guess, at $35 for 7. Wouldn't actually recommend the strain but there's certainly a lot worse around. At least you do get pretty high off it and it grows quite vigorously..

Actually one of the three phenos was impressive enough that I did decide to take a couple cuttings of it after all. That one quickly developed heavy buds that were all calyx. The bad side is that it was also the biggest stretcher. I can accept that though because the buds themselves do fill in enough to compensate. So I did get a keeper out of three, so I guess that could be seen as good. The other two were total fluffers though.
That's the problem with this strain, aside from stretching, a tendency for most phenos to produce fluff buds, meaning no real weight to them even though they look fairly normal when growing. That may be why many people reported low yields. They may have got stuck with fluffers. The heavy bud pheno may be a rarity. The fluffers, pretty much wastes of space.
Another thing to mention is that I used 13 hours light that time and the buds came out much more solid than with 12. At the very end I reduced the time by an hour each day for the last 3 days. Don't know if that did anything but it did turn out potent. The difference in bud density between 12 and 13 hours is dramatic. With 12 hours they always seemed deflated from what they should be. I also got a higher weight yield than with 12, so now I'm just using 13 all the time until the last few days. 12 hours seemed barely adequate compared to 13.

Here's what the heavy potent pheno looks like at 5.5 weeks. Buds look long and thin but will fill right out. Other phenos will have tightly packed buds which light can't really penetrate, and you'll get light colored calyxes inside them. This good pheno isn't like that. All the calyxes seem to get enough light and buds are more evenly green. Some may like the bleached inside calyxes but I find that kind of bud lacks weight. This pheno also seems to have a Thai dominant sativa high which is very intense. It turned out to be the most potent weed I've grown yet. It's like primo Thai weed but high yielding fat buds. It doesn't have much in the way of blueberry smell or flavor but it's good as Thai weed, which is basically what it is.
BTW, notice how I crinkle up my mylar to avoid hot spots which cause burning. I ball it up and flatten it back out.

I finally made it out of that shit, 3 batches, all crap. Here, I'll save people some trouble and expense by simply saying don't fucking bother with this shit strain. Just look at it funny and all the leaves fucking die. One of the worst pieces of shit strains around. Blueberry my fucking ass. More like shitberry. Will never buy another seed from Pyramid, fucking seed mill maggots.

Don't mind Bob, it's not his fault he runs out of meds the odd time and has some kind of hard on for Pyramid Seeds.
Let's see, I've run 6 BP seeds total, 3 + 3, 2 years apart, found a keeper each time. Besides the fact I typically have 12-16 strains going at any one time, and BP made the cut. Every single person who I've shared BP with comes back asking if they can get some more. My deduction is I must hang out with smokers who have no clue what decent smoke is, specially the one's who have been growing it for 30+ years... what else could it be?

Weird cuz people said my BP sucked, and it's impossible to find a test result in Analytical 360 that's over 10%. One was 7% the other 10. Could have been poorly grown but the bud shots looked crystally enough. If you like it, and your friends, that's your business. I had one pheno with halfway decent buds, the other two were useless. And even the good one wasn't all that potent, you get high off it but pretty average. BP just pissed me off too much, so I vented. It's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
Actually I grew two plants of it about a year before that and they were also crappy but when I was at the weed supply store and saw the strain again I forgot that I tried it before and it was crappy. How'd I forget that? I don't know, just grew a lot of strains and didn't really remember every one. After I got home I remembered and said shit, that's that crappy BP that turned all brown last time from light burn while other strains right next to it were fine. If you move them from some light that's not really intense to some fairly intense light, they just go right to hell. Just a really weak strain that can't take anything.

Sounds like you don't have enough light or CO2 for this one.

No there was plenty of light, it's just a stretchy plant. DJ Short himself calls Blueberry a "stretch Indica". It's just not that good a strain from my experience. I don't know if other Blueberry based strains are that bad, maybe it's just Blue Pyramid. I never tried any other brand of Blueberry. I did try Bubbleberry when it first came out, stretched like hell, average potency. I seriously think Blueberry is overrated.

Pic #3 This was taken after 10 weeks of VEG. I had just switched to flower time this day and took one last veg pic. I have loved growing this strain! Very agreeable with my super cropping & lst techniques.

This is my 3rd indoor grow.
(Grow area looks messy in one of the pics .. I don't keep it like that.) 99% of the time.. absolutely clean grow environment for my chicas.
