I had an epiphany about that some time ago. Everywhere you go, you find “boom cars”, which are the ones with really loud sound systems that rattle every window within 1/4 mile. They’re annoying, and there was a time when I wished the police would do something about it. Not anymore. I still think people who do that are total rock-farmers, but where they are, there are no police. No police presence is a good thing. Law enforcement is a difficult job, and I respect them for that alone, but I’d rather not be on their radar.

My blueberry is Blue Rhino x Blueberry Blast x Blueberry Blast. Then added other lil things like the pre98 BB sativa cut and True Blueberry F2. So there’s 4 or 5 BB lines in there, including the BB130 male DJ gave to Red to make Johnny Blaze.
I also used the above project to outcross with CherryTiger and Tiger Claw to make my African Blueberry lines, which are very loud
I always select for curling N-sensitive leaves, mottled leaves, other mutations, and for euphoria. Taste is easy to nail down after that.
Here is the CBR1947 which is mostly Blue Rhino woth a hint of cherry
That cup winning BB I wanna say was an NL x BB, hence the high THC
Usually BB is 8-18 %

The old cup entry Blueberry I’m thinking of was 23 and a half percent THC and being mixed with anything was not mentioned in the article. It’s a number that I would never forget as it was so impressive at the time. I just did some quick Research into High Times cannabis cups and can’t find it. Says the highest Cup winning blueberry was in the upper teens for THC percent but that’s definitely not what I read. I have a kind of photogenic memory for these types of details. Perhaps it was a different magazine Or perhaps the tested plant matter was not the same one entered in the cup. I’ll have to try to dig out the old High Times magazine one of these days and see if i can find it. As for the high, Each puff one took Got You High for an hour. 2 puffs, 2 hours. 4 puffs, 4 hours. And I mean HIGH and Stoned. My buddy and I each took three tokes about 40 miles west of Albany one day, headed down to Southern Pennsylvania to see a friend. We didn’t talk until we hit Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and then it was just one sentence each. My friend…“What do you think?”
Me… “Yup”. We then took 2 more tokes each and were fried silent til Philly

please explain this - in relation to feeding _ read were for sativa’s (100%) feed low “n” during veg and then moderate to high amount of 'N" in flower. Thoughts on ?—Thanks

It’s quite possible they’ll use more nitrogen during flowering and that I’m afraid to give them enough. I’ve seen so many sativas with tell tail curled leaves from overdose I don’t want to give them anything quickly available with high N numbers. It seems that no matter what I give pure sativas they cannibalize their own leaves for nitrogen in the end. It’s like they switch and no longer Want to take it up from the soil. Also, many Sativas are so leafy ( poor calyx/ leaf ratio )I want some of the leaves to fall off Or lose chlorophyll before harvest or it smokes harsh and the taste is overwhelmed by leaf. I think I really need to get some feather meal in my soil tho… Been saying it for a few years now. High percent slow release nitrogen. 12 0 0. Maybe It will make a difference

need to digest what you said – yea ! having “clawed” fanleaves is no good especialy after all the months opf frowing and one ghet "shity"tasting porduct (harsh) would conside it a failure. you are saying 12-0-0 ? seemlike a it to much, waht about a fish fertilizer like Alaska Fish fertilizer (5-1-1) or maytbe a soil condidioner like Fish Shit no NPK just microbes, Upsate , thanks for the seeds you sent and will be running them along with Panama red and Malwai x panama. As always any infor on feeding . ect will be greatly appreciated, hawkman (recommend a goos nut to use in their flower ?)

Feather meal has the same nitrogen percentage as blood meal but whereas blood meal is available quickly and only for about 30 days, feather meal is available extremely slowly and it’s good for years. I don’t think it would pass as a standalone nitrogen fertilizer, but mixed with other nitrogen sources that are faster release with lower numbers it will work well.
I have to be extremely careful with Alaska 511. Every time I’ve used it over the last 10 years it has turned the lower leaves yellow quickly afterward. I honestly don’t know what’s going on there, but I stopped using it. Seems like it throws my soil out of balance, but it’s also a good possibility that it’s just getting my micro life humming and they are demanding more nitrogen after it’s use. What I had read from skunk magazine editor the Rev was that you should never use Alaska 511 unless in a bubbled tea if you are growing organically. I don’t recall why but he seems to be right.

Man love to see the knowledge being shared!!
I would also recommend for nitrogen chicken manure, its also full of microbes and I think the level is around 3-6, pk 2-1 to 4-3. I have used it with great results for the sativas.
Also for flowering I usually top dress with bat guano, so far pure sativas arent showing any problem

haven’t got any of those results , maybe it’s because I use 1/4 tp 1/2 amounts - maybe use about 2-3 x’s in veg and then inflower --thanks for the heads-up !!

Most of the fish fertilizers - especially Alaskan brand - use phos acid to stabilize and messes up the nitrogen cycling in the soil.
So, it chelates N right away, then disrupts the N cycling in the soil so a week or so later there is no more N going to the plant.
I havent had that problem woth Neptune’s fish fert. And i only use that if im in a pinch and cant find a good grow store where im at.
Preferably, i like to use fish meal and fishbone meal. Those two, plus kelp, makes a really balanced regimen.

Idk if it is available in your zone but for fish ferts, biobizz fish mix is my go to, and its cheap.

Right. That makes sense. So you’re basically feeding your plant" baby food" when you are giving it 511 alaska fish fertilizer, and then when you take that food away the plants are left with having to “eat steak but no teeth to chew it with”. It would be like us being on a feeding tube and then all of a sudden having to eat normally. Our stomachs wouldn’t be able to handle it right away. Maybe I’ll give that Neptune brand a try, but I’m liking fishbone meal and chicken poo as a replacement
I go a third to 50% strength. Have you grown full sativas? That could be the difference. They can be fussy with food.

Growing 20+ week sativas taught me how to correctly feed soil to feed the plant. Not the other way around.

Thanks. I’m glad you said something because I forgot to mention the source…Khalifa Genetics. The plants are a pleasure to grow.

NO - haven’t done 100%sativa’s - understand tha tone feeds them different at low rates ?

They are just fussy bitches when it comes to feeding LOL. They like their nitrogen low and slow
Khalaif Genetics is some what new to the groweing community - fro what I hear about the is “thumbs-up” !!!
seems they are about 1-2 years old, glad they did for a better ssativa collection
