Have BCblueberry and was wondering if it was the same as say Sagmarthas or DJs.? Got these from BCSEEDKING and there is no mistaking they are blueberry. About 2 1/2 weeks in flower now and when you open the closet door smells just like a carton of berries, no shit. If anybody has Floranectar blueberry dream nutes, open the bottle and take a big whiff. It's exactly to a TEE what these smell like. [was in the hydro store the other day to get a new bulb and while there opened a bottle to take a whiff out of curiousity.]. Amazing how a cannabis plant can smell and hopefully taste like this.
How do the breeders do it?

Blueberry is an old school strain.You find a strain with a terpene profile you like,and keep breeding into it.

I can have a strain that has a terpene profile that smells like bannanas,if given a couple years of breeding that profile out.

The same organic compounds are present in most plants.It is just each plant is geneticly exppressive to there own profile.

Pretty amazing really. Wonder if it's the only plant with such a large terpine profile? I'm no botanist but say a pine tree will always smell like a pine tree, a rose is always a rose, & my mini palm tree will always smell like a palm tree etc.. I've grown the useual skunk and earthy smelled strains also fuely type smells but they were all dank weed smelling. This is just like candy. lol I guess I have no point, just amazed. You reckon all blueberries come from the same source?

Actually it isn't the only plant that contains a vast array of terpenes. Hops (Humulus Lupus) also vary dramatically among the different varieties...The smell can range from grapefruit, pine, sweet nugget-like smell, etc...Cascade hops for instance will contain a distinctly different terpene profile compared to noble hop varieties.

What is interesting is....Hops are very closely related to cannabis!! They are both in the family of flowers known as Cannabicae. Several other species are found in this family, and I'm sure similar terpene variations exist.

People have been actively breeding cannabis for as long as human history exists...Naturally we have kept the traits we like, thrown away the ones we don't (sometimes, lol), and then spread the genes all across the world, to be used in whatever way imaginable. It's really an incredible thing...

Blueberry is an old school strain with missing history,just like Northern Lights.Basicly you breed true to the traits you want over generations.I have a MangoXBlueberry that alternates from bannanas,mango,fruit cocktail smells during flower.It will take proper breeding,and a long while to breed out a dominate bannana flavanoid/terpene profile that shows in the final product..In other words,for success I would have to go thru a whole lot of seeds (not mention the room needed) to grow out,and select to breed back to parents.This was done to create Blueberry decades ago,and breeders took it to create there own spin or make more stable.
