Blue OG Phenotypes

I am currently running Blue OG, and when put into flower she stretches like you wouldn't believe. I assume this is the tall phenotype? Has anyone else encountered this? If so how long did it take to flower? Because the strain is 7-weeks and there is no way that it will ready in 8-weeks. I'm quite pissed off, excuse my language but I was expecting a short, compact plant, not a tall plant. I do not like tall plants. Anyone? Any insight to this strain will be helpful. Preferably on this specific phenotype of this strain.

The smell is a strong blueberry jam smell and that's it pretty much. Maybe a faint pine smell, but nothing else. She produces a long terminal flower as well.

This is the Blue OG in the middle, the two tallest ones. I don't like to post pictures. I am in desperate need of some information though.

Here is a better picture of it. The back row is Blue OG. The far left is short because I trained it to be, but the other two I left untrained and well see for yourself.

The leaves start out broad at the bottom then as it gets closer to the top they seem to thin out.

I also have ultra sour & lemon Thai kush. I crossed the blue OG with both of these strains and they turned out marvelous.

The ultra sour x blue OG finishes within 8-8.5 weeks, which I don't get that but it does.

Lemon thai x blue OG finished right at 9-weeks give or take a couple days.

This is the first run with the blue OG though. I crossbred it before I performed an actual run with it.
So why would these crosses finish before the actual blue OG strain itself? This strain baffles me to no end.

Well first off bro if you wanted short compact plants you need to search for plants that have that in they're genetic profile.

If you didn't know the OG in this cross is a very stretchy strain. It always has been and always will be. The Blueberry in this cross also has some stretch to it so that's why you have a very tall plant. The only way to control this is to top and train it to be lower.

It's great that you were able to cross it and make some nice crosses of it but if you had never run the mom truly why would you cross it not knowing the way it grows or even if it was a good mom to be crossed to. When breeding lots of time goes into choosing the male and female and it best to understand both of them before trying to cross them

The reason why your crosses are finishing before the Blue OG is because the other parent has cut the flowering time down some. This goes back to knowing how fast the parents of the cross flower and many more things to be able to get an idea of how it will do in a cross. Before making anymore crosses I suggest you run the parents and learn about them as much as possible take notes and then go from there. Hopes this helps

I understand what you are saying, and thanks. What I was mainly asking was about the phenotypes of the Blue OG. I know there is a short strain, or so I've read. I do appreciate you're input on the crossbreeding though. I've read that the tall phenotype of Blue OG take awhile to flower.

Here is one I trained of the Blue OG. This is four days from being 7-weeks. I thought it would be farther along than it is. I know an acquaintance that has the same strain, but his finishes right at 8-weeks. Again though he has the short phenotype. We have the same strain, but his is shorter, mine taller.

No problem bro. The only way to find other phenos is to pop more seeds. If you want a short pheno of the Blue OG pop some more seeds and get to hunting. If you like he one you got keep it and train it to be a bush. Top it multiple time if you have to to keep her short or SCROG her.

She looks very good bro you got her dialed in. Since you don't like how stretchy it is you can get rid of her since you have crosses of her that finish faster. Also sometime clones run faster so the clone run could finish faster than seed

The ultra sour x blue OG hardly stretches at all. The tallest it gets that I've measured is 2' 7", no taller. And the lemon Thai x blue OG barely 2'

all the OGs i have seen were extremely stretchy, my blue moonshine
barely stretched a little. OGs tend to breed pretty dominant, guess that
the height gene was passed on. there will probably be a couple phenotypes
in the pack that will be shorter, but the majority will probably be tall. even
blue moonshine doubles in flower, OGs typically stretch 4-5x their original
height.

I tried to create hybrids that didn't exist yet. I don't think those do, but I don't know. They're pretty good man. I was surprised how they came out. That lemon is like a astringent lemon berry its crazy man.

You're right. Is the reason it's taking longer to flower just because of that phenotype?

I have read some logs, and some people's took like 10-weeks or so.

I will see what it look like at 9-weeks, but judging how it looks now. I'm saying 10-weeks, but I'm just guessing here.

#1A(left) is coming up on 9-weeks(63-days). Still not finished. I assum this is th sativa-dominant phenotype? If one exists? Or just how long this strains takes compared to what G 13 Labs tells you, 8-weeks.

I know there is a short one phenotype as well. An associate of mine runs it. I kept this one because of the yield and the blueberry attributes it gives. The smell, and taste.

This is just the terminal flower at 64-days.

I had to tie this plant up because the terminal flower was so heavy it about broke the main stem. Also has a side branch get so heavy it broke. I used Teflon tape to repair it.
