New York, Buffalo and Syracuse area had a cut of Blueberry from the early 90ās.
Tiny nugs like GSC that smelled of blueberries and had a clear sativa buzz
And, I never had it, but heard good things about Woodstock.

You have some nice āKushā pairing then? ā¦ ā¦ Would you recommend a Kush to mix with Blue Dream?
I used to smoke a lot of Hog back in the dayā¦it was particularly hard to clone, so I was around breeders who were trying to make it cloneableā¦Good time for sure!! There was also a big Orchid scene back thenā¦
(Sorry to get off on a tangentā¦I think it would be cool if overgrow had a sister website dedicated to Orchidsā¦

Back in 2010/2011 we had some bud called NFS. It was a racy, high octane type weed that smelled like pine and lemon and tasted the same. It was neon green with frost for days but it would make you sweat and giggle until you were light headed. Now, at the time I was told NFS stood for āNeed For Speedā named after the popular racing game at the time but I was also told it was āNot For Saleā. The story supposedly being that a grower in town had another grower buddy that asked him what a clone labeled āNFSā was and he said ānot for saleā. Well the grower got arrested and his buddy that originally asked about the clone went to his house to clear it out before the inevitable raid and only had time to grab a tray of āNFSā clones still in the jiffy rooters and a couple lights and bags of weed (I assume in hopes to lessen the charges on his friend). He smoked a nug out of the bag also labeled āNFSā and he realized it was better than anything he had growing at the time and cleared out his grow for the clones. Well, he grew all of the clones out and sold the bags of weed he grabbed in order to get enough money to bail his buddy out of jail, and then when he had enough money to cover everything, he stopped growing/ selling it. Bringing back the meaning of the name āNot For Saleā. That explains why it was around for such a short amount of time but thatās all part of the cannabis mythology, who knows if itās true or not. Interesting little story though.

i recall growing some blueberry back in the day, well a buddy grew it while i was growing white widow. some of the best weed iāve ever smoked, 3 hit shit we called it. that was from a seedbank overseas, he ordered them and we split them. 2004 if i recall correctly. then got some āblueberryā a few years later. had the same look, same smell, but hardly any high at all. not sure what happened to it, but it was trash weed for sure. we got higher off a nickel bag of leaf pot than an eighth of this crap.
i grew up across the river from meigs county oh back in the day when it was listed as one of the best growing areas in high times magazine. never did get the names of any of the weed from there but it was all killer. we normally couldnāt afford the good shit and just got dirtweed. i recall walking through the woods one day and ending up in the middle of a pot field. plants as tall as me, and when we realized what we were and where we were, we quickly turned around and almost ran back the way we had came. they were notorious for shooting folks that wandered onto a grow back then.

A real popular and coveted one in the late 90s, early 2000s was the J.B. Blueberry cut. A lot of drama over that particular cut. A better blueberry I have never found. I came close with the Northern Spider Berry #6 and it had a good run but it wasnāt as āfresh blueberries punch in the faceā as the JB cut.
Oh, and the Asian production cut we called the spider hashplant, because the tray came loaded with spider mites. This thing was as close to a 6 weeker as Iāve ever seen, with dense, fat, narcotic buds. I could turn out 2 cycles while I ran one 13 week cycle of my favorite, a Super Lemon haze cut, from the 08 batch of S1s.

I love local stories like that. Cannabis used to have such an air of mystique surrounding it.

We basically smoked whatever was around. A lot of Mex, then whatever friends or family had going. We didnāt really care about names at the time. The Mex was considered poorer quality, but people would say if you smoked it after being accustomed to the local grown stuff, it would hit you much stronger. I donāt know if it really did, or if people just tricked themselves into thinking it did. When I was a kid my dad used to try growing Mexicans and Colombians from seeds found in the buds he bought off the street or from dealer friends, but I donāt remember how any of it was. I was lucky enough to know some old growers with a bunch of mixed heirloom strains. There used to be a guy named Bill who was a cocaine smuggler that had some kind of skunk weed that was primo. He lived in the mountains and only had one thumb. Supposedly, the other one was chopped off after he was caught stealing from his associates. One of my best friends had a connection with someone who grew all the named stuff, and I think Northern Lights 5 x Haze was always the best. I had another guy who used to ship in weed from Canada and the Pacific Northwest, but I donāt know what any of it was. Just damn good weed. If I remember right, a lot of that PNW weed had a strong body high. That guy also used to get some imports from New York, which I remember had a sneaky effect. At first you thought it sucked, but then you were laughing hysterically and acting like a goon. A different friend and his dad brought some Jamaican seeds back after a vacation, but they didnāt grow very good and so were dismissed. Lots of people grew what they had in their backyard, and it was all pretty much unknown. People didnāt pay attention to it like they do now, or maybe they just didnāt care. Weed was weed, and you just had good weed or bad weed.

is that different that the standard deathstar cut that was circulating around dispensaries a few years ago? if theyre the same, shoudnt be too hard to find. those ācommodity kushā cuts that yield well and are easy to trim tend to live on long after the dispensaries stop carrying that cut. maybe strainly?

Nice to catch another DC native, rare breed these days. Itās become more of a ātransitionalā place for people to live before finally settling elsewhere. Seems like you got some years on me since Iām barely into my 30ās, you know anything of the weed scene in DC from the 80ās/90ās?

I started smoking in 83 and had limited sources. We got a lot of red haired skunk as it was called then and then there were generic green mids or brick weed from downtown by the 20 sack. By the 90s the brick weed had been replaced by what everyone just call kind bud. It meant anything that had some kick and a few trichomes lol. Everything was kind bud and prices went from 30-40 a quarter to 60-80 a quarter. Iād kill for some of those Skunk seeds we tossed away back then. I moved out in my 30s when I joined the service and settled in the mountains down in VA as DC had become way too expensive to live in unless you had some serious money. I miss the DC that used to have the Beach Boyās playing for the mall fireworks on Fourth of July. Iām the fourth generation in our family to be born there. My ancestors moved there after the Civil War and almost 100% of my extended family still lives there or just outside of the city. I love visiting but after 20 plus years living in the country I canāt stand the traffic.
