DJ Short - The Origins of Blueberry

Choosing your parents

The place for breeding to begin is with choosing the parent plants, called the P1
generation. For best breeding results you use true-breeding stabilized strains as
your P1's. Different breeders have different standards as to what qualifies as a P1. I
have very high standards for my P1 generation. For me, the P1 must be either a
fully acclimated, region-of-origin land-race variety, or no more than one generation
removed, and crossed with itself or another highly similar, region-of-origin land-race
variety.

I used three P1 strains to breed Blueberry, Flo and others. They were the Highland
Thai (also called Juicy Fruit Thai, a first-generation Thai seed grown in the Pacific
Northwest); a cross called Purple Thai which was a first generation land-race
Chocolate Thai crossed once with a first generation land-race Highland Oaxaca
Gold; and an Afghani Indica which came to me one generation removed from
Afghanistan via the California/Southern Oregon growing community.

Juicy Fruit

The Highland Thai was a joy to grow and behold, despite its hermaphroditism. This
plant grew fast, filling in any empty spaces with lush, green growth. It was a very
slow finisher, 12 to 16 weeks and beyond in the bud period for most. It had the
longest and skinniest leaves out of all the plants I have worked with. Thick sidebranching is another characteristic of this variety.

The plant only periodically produced any kind of "tight" bud structure. Most of the
buds were very loose, with some sporting long, slender shoots of widely-spaced
single female flowers in a row (especially when grown hydroponically under halide
lights.)

This bud structure is known as "spindly". Many of these spindles resemble threads
protruding from a semi-formed bud. Each single thread averaged anywhere from
five to ten inches long, some even longer, and consisted of a row of evenly-spaced
female flowers and their corresponding bract leaves, anywhere from a quarter inch
to one inch apart, alternating bract and flower in single file.

Thai

The entirety of the "thread" and bud structure was coated with sweet/fruity
aromatic resin glands.

The overall plant color was dark, while the bud structures matured a lighter shade
of green, sometimes green/yellow.

I was never able to get a Juicy Fruit Highland Thai to "over mature". I took one to
almost twenty weeks into its flower cycle and she just kept pumping it out.
Outdoors, one was taken in early-mid December from a greenhouse. The only
difference was that the later harvest was a more stony, body high.

The finished product from the Highland Thai was an all-around champion herb.
Though difficult to trim and cure, the outcome was fully worth the effort. It was a
powerful, long-lasting and exquisitely flavoured herb with little or no ceiling. The
high could last up to seven hours! The flavour, aroma and taste were a totally sweet
tropical punch tutti-fruity all the way.

The Purple Thai was the other sativa in my repertoire. This was a first generation
cross between the Highland Oaxaca Gold and the Chocolate Thai. This cross grew
medium/tall and was very symmetric in structure. The side branches were shorter
and, if left alone (untopped) the main stalk (meristem) remained the dominant
shoot.

Afghani

The entire plant of the Purple Thai was very dark-coloured and would express a
deep royal purple colour at the slightest exposure to cold. It did not exhibit any of
the spindly bud syndrome of the Juicy Fruit Thai, and the finished buds were a
medium and compact sativa type. The finished product was equally as fruity and
strong as the Juicy Fruit, also without ceiling.

For whatever aesthetic reason, I preferred the Purple Thai to the Juicy Fruit Highland
Thai. I believe that the Purple Thai was emotionally kinder or gentler than the Juicy
Fruit. At larger doses the Juicy Fruit could evoke quite a terror, especially when
combined with psychedelics. Though no less potent, the Purple Thai seemed easier
to handle, including when tripping. The Purple Thai was one of the first to show resin
gland production in the early bud cycle, at roughly three to four weeks into the
cycle. It also matured at 10 to 12 weeks indoor, and early to mid November
outdoors.

The Afghani Indica plant is short with large, wide leaves, stout and thick-stemmed.
It has early to very early maturation, producing large, dense buds that smell
earthen to skunk, with a strong smoke that is generally sedative or "down" in effect.
Though consistent in its growth and overall effect, its appeal is somewhat limited in
my opinion. I believe more indicas should be made into hashish, which is where the
finer qualities of the indica appear.

Blueberry x Afghani

The sinsemilla Afghani Indica first showed up on the market in 1979. They were
huge, green, stinky, sticky, dense buds of potent, pungent herb that smelled like a
skunk and produced a narcotic-knockout stone that was tremendously novel, when
compared to all the sativas that had come before. This was right after sinsemilla
herb hit the market with big appeal.

The triad of sinsemilla, indica, and the advent of high powered halide and HPS
lights, all wreaked havoc on the breeding programs of most pot-entrepeneurs. Few

people maintained their sativa lines, and the strains virtually disappeared from the
commercial markets. The short, dense, early-maturing and body-powerful indica has
dominated the scene since 1983 a matter of disjointed economics.

Such were the three main P1's I used for my breeding lines.

Afghani male

The f1 cross

The f1 cross is the first cross between two distinctly different P1 parents. The "f"
stands for filial (child). I cannot overstress the importance of the two P1 parents
being as genetically different as is possible. It is this initial genetic diversity that
leads to the most possibilities in succeeding lines.

If the P1's are sufficiently diverse, then the f1 will be a true hybrid, expressing a
near total uniformity and great vigor. It is in the crosses beyond the initial f1
(especially the f1xf1=f2 cross) that specific traits are sought. There will be a
tremendous amount of variance in the f2 crosses of f1's obtained from a female
pure sativa and a male pure indica.

The Blueberry (among others) was discovered and stabilized from an f1 cross
between the P1 parents of a female Juicy Fruit Thai or a female Purple Thai and a
male Afghani Indica. Thus there were two possible routes to essentially the same
finished product. Blue Velvet and Flo seem more accessible via the Purple Thai
route, while Blue Moonshine seems more accessible through the Juicy Fruit lineage.
That is, there is a higher probability of occurence of the specific traits which I'm
seeking, and so they're easier to "find".

Oddly enough, the opposite cross (female Afghani indica crossed with pollen from
male Thai sativa) was not nearly as interesting. The f1's from this cross were more
leafy and less desirable. They were also more hermaphroditic and subsequent
breeding revealed them to be less desirable. It has been my observation that in a

successful cross, the (usually female) sativa contributes the type of aroma and
flavour, while the (usually male) indica contributes the amount of aroma and flavour
to the prodigy. So far this observation has proven fruitful.

Blue Moonshine

So the Thai female is pollinated with the Afghani male and an abundance of seed is
produced. The seed is uniformly sized and shaped; small, ellipsoid and mottled with
dark stripes upon a grayish brown shell. A single female is capable of producing
thousands of seed, leaving plenty for experimentation. This is the f1 generation,
which I called simply "The Cross".

The plants of The Cross grew uniform, medium-tall "spear" structures of many
competing side-branches around one main (meristem) stalk. Large, long buds
formed along the branches. There was a wide palate of colours, especially among
the Purple Thai cross. The buds were lighter, almost yellow to the centres, wile the
outer leaf, bract and calyx tips showed red, purple and blue hues. The maturation
rates were uniform as well, with a wide window of harvest being between weeks
eight to eleven in the bud cycle, indoors. The finished bud had a very strong
"astringent" chemical/terpene aroma that bordered between pine, gin, licorice and
paint. Only a very few of The Cross expressed hermaphroditism, about 1 out of
every 25 females.

Afghani

The f2 cross

The f2 is the second filial generation, simply a cross between any two of the f1
stock. With my f2 crosses the outcome was extreme, with almost every
characteristic of the cannabis plant being expressed in some of the plants. The
diversity was spectacular, both in structure and aesthetics. From sativa to indica,
short to tall, dark to light, early to late maturation, wide to narrow leaves, along

with an extensive array of flavours, aromas, tastes and highs. The f2 seeds collected
were equally diverse, ranging from large to small, plump to slender, striped to solid,
round to oval.

A grand amount of time, energy and money was spent from this point to isolate and
stabilize the desired traits. There is a tremendous amount of work between the f2's
and the f4's and f5's. Trial and error is the rule; certain paths prove futile while
others bear further examination. On average, there are about nine errors to each
success. Coupled with the difficult clandestine aspects of the trade through the 80's
and 90's, it was a difficult task to accomplish. Many sacrifices were endured by my
family and friends.

It was however, a fun and worthwhile occupation to sample all the research
material. It was hard work and dedication to record the findings and attempt to
create useful categories and find patterns and traits to specific characteristics. Then
there's the wait for the cured sample. If the sample passed "the test" then the plant
was kept for further consideration. The most desirable samples were used for
further breeding to f3, f4 and f5. The harvested plants, cut above the lowest few
nodes, were placed under a vegetative light cycle to stimulate new growth for
cloning.

Blueberry x NL#5

I like to do one backcross somewhere between the f3 and f5 generation. Exactly

when, where and how that is done remains a trade secret for now. Another trade
secret is the art of selecting the best males for breeding. These topics and others
will be covered in future articles.

Have phun!

Select the best, reject all others

Mendelian procedures are fine for sweet peas, but when it comes to herb I much
prefer Luther Burbank's philosophy: "Select the best and reject all others!" This
simple phrase is worth much consideration. Mendel's work is useful, especially
concerning P1 and f1 crosses. But beyond the f2 and f3 cross, Mendel's theories add
copius complexity to the equation.

Afghani clones

Your friend the freezer

A benevolent tool in our trade is the refrigerator and freezer. The fridge is extremely
useful in extending the longevity of seed and pollen. The trick to successful freezing
is to freeze deep (-10 to -40F/-20 to -35C) and then keep the seed undisturbed.
Hard frozen objects are very fragile. The slightest shock may shatter crucial,
delicate cell structures within the seed. Double wrap the seed in paper; little manilla
envelopes work great.

I like to do small amounts, in one-time-use packets, to keep waste to a minimum.

Then place the wrap into a plastic freezer bag, then place the freezer bag into a
plastic tub or tupperware container. Now the seed is ready for the deep-freeze. In
the fridge, storing seed in airtight, brown glass jars with a little rice or other nontoxic desiccant seems to work best.

I have had pollen last for years in a deep freeze. It must be frozen immediately after
fresh collection from the plant, in as low a humidity as possible (preferably 0%). I
like to shake the productive male flowers over a flat and clean piece of glass. The
pollen pile is sifted to rid the unwanted plant material from the pure powder.

It is also useful to cut pollen with flour to stretch the amount. A pollen-to-flour ratio
of 1:10 or even 1:100 works best. The cut pollen may then be separated into small,
one-time-use amounts, stored in a flap of paper and frozen the same way as the

seed. The frozen pollen must be applied to the live female flower immediately after
thawing to increase viability.

Blue Velvet

The sweet sativa room

I recommend the creation of a special "sativa room" for indoor breeding of such
strains. This room needs to consider and satisfy the unique needs of the sativa
variety. The goal is to replicate the equatorial conditions of the worlds various
"sweet spots". Some of these conditions include: a different light cycle than the
standard 18/6 vegetative 12/12 bud cycles, a higher angle of light (using a straight
track shuttle instead of a circular one), humidity control set on low for the highland
and high for the lowland, and variations in soil composition and depth.

Light cycle is one of the key considerations for those wishing to breed truly fine
quality cannabis indoors under lights. The 18/6 veggie and 12/12 bud cycles are
perhaps the main influence towards the indica dominant strains and generic
blandness of the indoor commercial product. A true equatorial sativa will require
closer to a 13/11 vegetative and a long (four to six month) 11/13 flower cycle.
Different variations may be tried, such as 15/9 veggie and 10/14 flowering cycle. Be
prepared for much fine tuning.

Equatorial strains also experience a higher arch of sunlight than those grown
beyond 38 north or south with a sunrise almost due east and sunset nearly due
west. Therefore the sativa room will edintense overhead lighting with a straight
track mover. Keeping the plant in a stationary position, especially through the bud
cycle, may positively influence the outcome of the finished product.

As jungle (lowland) herb requires only a thin layer of nutrient soil, perhaps a four-toeight inch layer of soil over clay or concrete (with some form of drain system) would

encourage lateral root growth, stationary plants, and a more lowland sativa-friendly
environment.

If successful, the sativa-friendly room can be used to acclimate an indoor sativa

variety, which expands the possibilities of your breeding operation.

Past Selection Processes Review

Originally, in the late 1970's, I was growing up to 100 plants at a time using over
1000 watts of light, and also outdoors in a backyard garden space. These were all
land race sativa that fortunately cloned well. The ratio of highly desirable individuals
from these plants was about 1:100. One of the most annoying traits of these
varieties was hermaphroditism. Approximately 60% of all of these plants from seed
were unmanageable hermis, and about 25% more were what I referred to as
manageable hermaphrodites, meaning that with close observation and intense
scrutiny the male pods could be seen and eliminated as they appeared. About 15%
of these sativa plants were female enough to produce marketable sinsimilla bud,
with a constant vigilance toward the occasional stray pollen sack. In other words the
hermaphroditism expressed in these equatorial sativa was extreme and nearly total.

A quick word about the virtues of hermaphrodites: Ask any old-time herbalist, one
who has been experiencing fine herb since at least the early 1970's, what their
favorite all-time herbal variety was, and the answer will be something to the effect
of; Santa Marta or Acapulco Gold or Highland or Chocolate Thai or Punta Roya
(red-tipped gold Highland Oaxacan) or Guerran Green or Panama Red etc. et.
al., all of which were equatorial, or sub-tropical, origin sativa and hermaphroditic.

Even the great hashish of the era such as Lebanese Red and Blonde, all Moroccan
and Nepalese were produced from seeded stock.

This is not so much in praise of the hermaphrodite as it is a suggestion in regard to

the cannabinoid profile of seeded verses non-seeded herb. It has been my
experience that the cannabinoid profile of seeded herb produces a wider range of
effect than from non-seeded, or sinsimilla, herb. The equatorial environment also
probably contributed to a wider range of cannabinoids. One of the aspects of the
equatorial environment is its consistent day/night temperature range, there is little
difference between day and night temps on the equator supposedly inspiring a
wider cannabinoid profile. Couple this with the seeded cannabinoid profile and it
becomes easy to understand the popularity of the equatorial produced sativa,
despite its hermaphroditic problems. I am curios as to what future research in this
capacity may provide.

Once the indica was introduced into the mix the hermaphrodite problem became
controllable. It only takes a few zero-tolerance generations indoors to fully eliminate
hermaphroditic tendencies. As a matter of fact, this, coupled with shortening the
flowering cycle, became the first main concerns of the indoor or commercial
horticulturist. This unbalanced focus may be the strongest contributing factor to the
blandness of much of the herb to follow. The author R did a cover piece for High
Times magazine in the mid-1980's calling for a Ban the Bud campaign, against the
indica onslought, due to how bad and bland the quality of some herb was becoming
then. I remember the times clearly.

During this period I was beginning to venture out into larger satellite grows (indoor
and out) that kicked my selection numbers up to around 1000 plants at a time for
awhile. It was from these trials that I was able to do the bulk of my f2
experimentation and selections. I worked with these numbers for enough trials to
manipulate and witness the phenomenon of quality production to a high degree of
certainty. Once I was certain how to produce the f3's, the f4's and beyond became
much easier to produce.

During the late 1980's, and due to the harsh political realities of the times, the high
numbers game became too dangerous. The war on some drugs and spooky ops
such as Operation Green Merchant forced my experimentation deep underground.
Fortunately, the lessons learned prior proved fruitful and progress was possible
despite the political weather. I had already learned to produce f3 and f4 Blueberry

(et. al.). However, doing so with diminished numbers actually helped boost my
learning curve. Between 1987 to 1990 I was able to do so using less than 100 plants
from seed at a time. And by 1991 I was able to do adequate selection work from
past produced stock using less than 50 plants (seeds) at a time.

Europe

Holland

By the early 1990's I was extremely interested in the burgeoning seed market
developing in Holland. I had known about the seed banks since 1983 and was
always only interested in obtaining more pure, land-race varieties. Unfortunately,
there were only hybrid crosses ever available at the time and I had more than
enough of my own to work with. By 1993 I finally made the pilgrimage to
Amsterdam where I made new connections. In 1994 I connected with the first
company that I worked with in Europe. By 1995 I was supplying this company with
seed-stock both for sale and for breed work. I had contracted with this company to
produce Blueberry, Flo and Blue Velvet.

The first company I worked with in Europe sprouted only 25 seeds of each of these
varieties to make selections from. Other than supplying seed-stock, I was only
minimally involved in the selection process. I did get to see the mother and father
plants alive, however, the selection process had already been done prior by others.
Unfortunately, my relationship with this company was short-lived as all the owner
really wanted was my seed-stock. Once he had it I became a very low priority in his
scheme. In all honesty I was never paid one red cent for any of the Blueberry (or
Flow or Blue Velvet) that company number one in Europe produced (plus having
over 3,000 seeds that I produced completely ripped off).

Needless to say this lack of concern prompted me to seek other possibilities that
culminated in my relationship with the second company I worked with in Europe. At
this company about 50 seeds of each variety were sprouted, but I was once again
mainly left out of the selection process except for sampling a number of finished
products and making selections based on those (which is enough, actually). I never
got to see any of the live plants from this selection process at company number two

in Europe. I also contributed seed-stock for three more varieties there; Blue
Moonshine, Blue Heaven and Purple Passion. The owner of this company was
satisfied with paying me the minimum amount I would consider adequate.
Fortunately, part of the deal was my ability to remain independent and work with
whomever else I pleased.

Switzerland

The third company I worked with in Europe was in Switzerland. The owner of this
company was able to dramatically push the envelope there and some interesting
results blossomed. I visited Switzerland three times between 1999 and 2001 and
was truly amazed at what I witnessed on each visit. Out of all of the companies that
I worked with in Europe, I felt the most involved and productive in Switzerland. I was
involved with selections of finished products and with live mother and father plants
as well. I even got to help plant, transplant and harvest a few of the gems produced
there.

The varieties produced by the third company that I worked with in Europe included
Moonshine Rocket Fuel, Rosebud and Blue Satellite. I must admit that the bubble
hash from the Blue Satellite is among the finest and most desirable product I have
sampled (outside of my own) since the 1980's! Unfortunately, the owner of this
company was unable to successfully work with the local authorities and was forced
to leave Switzerland. Some truly intrepid tales were spun during the brief stay there
and I will remember many of them with delight.

Canada, The True North Strong and Free

With glimmers of hope on the horizon, Canada is fast becoming the Cannabis
Breeding capital of the world. With the much-appreciated activism of entrepreneurs
such as Marc Emery (et. al.), a new haven for a seriously dedicated cannabis
community is developing. One such entrepreneurial dedicate is Red of Legends
Seeds. I met Red in Switzerland where he was very busy and involved working for
the happening community there. Red is a high-flying, free spirit with a savvy sense
of taste.

Red was able to orchestrate the necessary requirements to produce a very large
selection process. This grow consisted of about 400 plants (over 200 Blueberry
phenos and over 100 Flo). Out of these there ended up being over 160 Blueberry
and over 70 Flo females and about 60 males that made the initial cut. Copies of
each of these were cloned and meticulously maintained by the crew. This actually
turned out to be a slight overkill, but a testimony to the absolute dedication of the
crew.

The Crew

Mighty-G is a green-thumbed master gardener whose success with cannabis is

phenomenal. Mr. G was able to provide and maintain a near-perfect growing
environment for a lengthy period of time as the plants were kept in an extended
vegetive state to insure 100% clone success. The plants were absolutely beautiful.
Kermit was in charge of clone reproduction and maintenance. Kermit has been a
respected part of the local cannabis community for many years. Chimera appeared
online a few years ago and has proven himself to be an intelligent and dedicated
soul, along with being a focused horticulturist with excellent credentials in the field
of genetics. I first learned of Chimera online where he posted to a few message
boards that I occasionally lurk and I appreciated the information he shared. The
Cannabis Cowboy also added his expertise, especially considering the collection,
purification and pressing of the dry-sieved resin.

I just want to give a big shout out and a huge thank you to all of the crew for their
very successful efforts on this project. You cats rock! Thank you.

The Process

The main room was divided in two with the Blueberry on the left and the Flo on the
right. The plants were relatively huge considering how long theyd been in veg. Lush

growth dominated as three distinct Blueberry phenotypes and two distinct Flo
presented their development, along with a small number of unique anomalies. Of
course, all individuals were numbered and labeled and notes were made over the
course of several inspections during the flowering cycle.

During this period all of the males were isolated in a separate room and watched
closely to enable the best selection from them. From this particular gene-pool, I find
it relatively easy to select the best males as they tend to express their traits
regardless of environment or light cycle. There were so many to choose from during
this process that the difficulty became who to cull out. Most of the males were at
least to some degree resinous with glandular stalked trichome, some more than
others. This usually makes it easy to test certain profiles such as overall flavors.

Only after the most desirable males are selected (i.e. all the others rejected) are
issues of structure and growth pattern considered. Sweet, fruity and floral
expressions are most desirable, but attention is paid to other possibilities as well.
Top quality candidates of indica, sativa and mutant anomaly are picked by process
of elimination. Then those with the best structure; hollow stems, good color and
flower density, become the final candidates.

The females also pose the same problem in regard to who is eliminated. Notes are
made as to any outstanding qualifications that present themselves during the bud
cycle. But it is not until the sixth week in flower, and sometimes not until the eighth
week (or longer if the variety is strongly sativa), that the real differences in
individuals becomes apparent and the truly amazing qualities shine. And even then,
it only amounts to field-notes until well after harvest and the cut-and-dried product
is totally cured. It is then that the final selection process begins.

During our selection-crop numerous individuals could have passed the requirements
to be a great mother plant. By and large, the overall ratio of desirable plants that
qualified for final selection from this crop was approximately 1:10 (employing DJs
Law). As it turns out the elite ratio of final candidates turned out to be
approximately 1:30the best of the best as it were. By the eighth week in bud
approximately two dozen individuals stood out as primary candidates. After these
samples were individually labeled and jar cured for about two months, a total of
eleven were of supreme quality. Believe it or not, the final elimination process
among these eleven was perhaps the most difficult to complete. Part of the

sprocess involved selecting one of each of the three Blueberry phenotypes, one of
the Flo, one Blue Moonshine and deciding on the possibility of something new.

The Varieties

After the fourth week in bud, generally speaking, certain characteristics become
apparent. On the Blueberry side of the room three distinct phenotypes presented
themselves, while on the flo side two less distinct phenos appeared. The three
Blueberry phenotypes could be referred to as indica, sativa and variegated or
mutated. The indica were shorter, denser and had larger calyx and bract leafs
making the buds look plump. The sativa were taller, more slender leafed with more
elongated buds of dense, smaller calyx. The indica tended to be of a stronger, more
musky odor where the sativa were more delicate and floral. The variegated or
mutated individuals varied more in their aromatic palate with some seeming more
potent than others. On the flo side the difference was less pronounced between
phenotypes but two distinct types developed. The primary difference was in bud
structure and formation with one type growing with its bract leaves pointing more
up and the other with its bract leaves pointing down. Both were more sativa looking
with dense buds of small calyx. There was also a difference in potency of aroma
between these individuals.

The seed stock True Blueberry currently under scrutiny derived from f2s that
were very BK or Berry Kush-like. These f2 BKs were crossed with very TF, or
True Floral, sometimes referred to as Temple Flo, mates in the f3 and/or f4
generation to brighten the head considerably. Once the right mix was discovered
these f4s (and beyond) crosses were inline bred (filial crossed) to stabilize the
proper traits. The flo phenos are closer to the TF (True Floral, Temple Flo),
headier side of the mix, most reminiscent of the Highland Oaxaca Gold.

Grape Krush (or Blue Krush)a productive, deep-colored hybrid of very high
quality. This plants exhibits partial to full leaf-deformities of the krinkle type, but
with good structure and heavy bud production of large calyxes. The buds express a
strong sharp/fruity odor with a distinct sweet/grape flavor brought out in the cure. A
strong, long-lasting head/body mix is evident in the finished product with an
exciting, but not racy, head and a mild narcotic body. Very euphoric and desirable
effects that most seasoned connoisseurs prefer. 50-60 day flowering time.

Flodica a mostly indica phenotype from the flo line. A rare, near-total recessive
indica found by chance in the TF line (TF= Temple Flo or True Floral).
Generally, the flo line sports very sativa like structures of taller plants with slender
leaves and spear-shaped buds. The Flodica, however, is a near-pure indica
phenotype of short, stout, yet productive, structure with very large, dense, dark
indica buds. Very resinous with heavy gland production of an earthen palate to the
buds that produce a very strong, narcotic-type experience. 50-55 day flowering
time. Unfortunately, the Flodica (and the True Blue Moonshine) were nearly
sterile--i.e. no (or very few) seeds developed, and were therefore culled.

True Blueberrythe ultimate hybrid of Blueberry expression. Selected for its

superior quality from a large pool, this hybrid contains the best from both worlds
(indica and sativa). Medium height with long, fruity and productive buds of medium
sized calyxes. Beautiful lavender hues become apparent soon into the flowering
cycle. The finished product is of the highest quality with sweet, elongated Blueberry
buds destined to please the most finicky palate. High resin production as expected
from the Blue family. 50-60 days flowering time.

True Blue Moonshinea true hash-plant. Selected for its outstanding production
of large, clear gland heads, this mostly-indica hybrid really packs a musky/fruity
punch. Medium height producing parge, dense buds glistening with trichomes. More
musky than fruity with a burgundy/earthen flavor at cure. Top-notch Moonshine. 5060 days flowering time.

F-13"a Holy Grail plant of four-star excellence. Previously unreleased, a very

desirable product and potential breeder. A more-sativa hybrid of medium height
with long, spear-shaped, dense and resinous buds and an earlier finish time than
most sativa. The superfluous quality of the finished product is remarkable: a clear,
clean, crisp head of the kindest order with a sweet/floral flavor. This girl really rings
the bell every time! Not for the couch-lock crowd, this heady sativa is for those who

truly enjoy its stimulating yet comfortable appeal. A real day (or night) brightener.
My personal favorite from this batch. 50-65 days flowering time.

Stay tuned for future re-releases of Velvet Luna (formerly Blue Satellite and
Blueberry Sativa), Moonshine Rocket Fuel and Rosebud in the not-too-distant future.
Have fun and best regards toward your horticultural ventures. Enjoy!
