I’ve dug through the forum on the “Blueberry“ topic. The more research I do, the more confused I get. I’m not necessarily chasing that BB taste/buzz from 1979. Hell... I wouldn’t even know if I found it. That said, I’m a sucker for the classics. I’ve heard some great things about the BB crosses and continuing great reviews of a cultivar that’s been around for 40+ years.
DJ is the father is about the one thing I do know. After reading some more, I’m understanding that it hasn’t been the same since 98 and rumors continue to circulate. DJ on a potcast states that there was more variation in his stock pre 98 as it was finalized in that time. He states his breeding pair has been consistent since then (why would he lie). Makes sense you could find some differences prior as the final parents should have stabilized the offspring even more. gets me to thinking....
He discovered the original BB while at Dutch Passion. Its not real clear if he took seeds and/or breeding stock with him. Makes you wonder if DP has a more “original“ version? I guess those secrets are his privilege.
So what do I do? I order a pack of 5 pack Fem of Dutch Passion BB. In the meantime, my curiosity keeps me reading and I convince myself I need DJs line (stupid forums) and I order a 13 pack of regs. I’m going to be growing BB until I’m well... ”blue in the face”. I don’t have the area, legal plant limit, ability, or desire to crack 18 seeds at a time... then clone, flower, toss males, etc....
All this from the hope of replicating a clone that made this lady famous. Makes me laugh at my own mind. In my research I read “I’ve got the true cut” at least 100 times. I‘m sure 100% believe they have the original. I bet closer to 5% actually do. I love this game.
share your thoughts on all things BB.
peace peeps
