Very nice GroErr,

47 pages late to the party. I really like the bud structure of the blue dream----look forward to the smoke report of those beauties.

cheers,

Welcome Alaric, never too late to join a party! Don't usually do smoke reports unless it's a new strain or pheno, been running these for a while now. Here's a short version though for those who haven't tried these strains.

That HSO Blue Dream is a nice one for production, nice smell and taste, mid-grade for potency. Smells very spicy when growing, completely different when dry, like peanut butter blueberry is how I describe the smell and taste after curing. Very popular with patients that have a low tolerance and can't handle something stronger like JTR or Blue Ripper. This could be the last run for it, nice all around plant with good production but there's a lot of competition for the space, my son is growing it so I can always get a cut if needed.

Now that JTR is the lemon-pinesol pheno, all lemon smell during flowering and after dry/curing, the pine comes on exhale, nice smooth smoke and punches you in the head when it kicks in, classic sativa-dom high though, energetic, somewhat racy, get stuff done while you're shit faced, it's not going anywhere, pretty well every other round I manage to sneak one in. It's also the mother of both 7gal Blue Ripper phenos at the back of the room so it will stick around for BX crosses. Medium producer but can pull it's weight with some training and top notch quality/punch.

The Harlequin up at the top of the page is my only 1:1 THC/CBD strain. It's also the most unique smell/taste I've ever smoked, really hard to describe it. Closest smell/taste I can come up with is a tropical fruit smoothie perfume if there were such a thing. The smell and taste are so strong they'll overpower anything in the room, like opening a perfume bottle, and unlike many, the smell is identical to the taste. It's one of a few phenos I pulled when I originally got the seeds (BCBD Harlequin BX3). Not a huge producer but very unique and quality meds, I don't share this one with many Cheers.

Ah, but is it "Lemon Pledge" ? ! ? !



LOL

Lol Only when it's wet/curing, a little more subtle once it's cured - lol (not a bad thing?)

Interesting, I've been wanting a CBD strain and after reading this Harlequin is now on my want list. Actually the way you describe it is similar to how I would describe these Grandoggy Purps which are undescribable, and it's those terpenes that make it my favorite.

Hey thanks for popping by Dave, that was one 4 that were grown out from a pack, rest were culled art different stages. All the others had a fuelly smell, one really strong and were Ok but this keeper was completely different, that fruit/perfume smell is nothing like I've smelled/tasted in 40 years of smoking. Not a lot of room for keeping strains going, they have to have something exceptional and that one fit the bill for sure. Cheers.

Those would all be nice scents to have flying around inside a house. What is the percentage of THC in the harlequin? Does it still produce a psychoactive effect as it has equal thc:cbd? Need to get my hands on some pollen so the good ones can be saved as they are revealed.

Unfortunately I have no way to test it here right now, we don't have the services available unless you're one of the few designated government approved growers. Something that will change when we get to legalization I'd think. I've looked at some home test kits but haven't pulled the trigger as they all seem a little shady and questionable for accuracy. It's supposed to be 1:1, anywhere from 7-12% of each but no way of telling for sure, it's very clear headed stone, different than typical smoke. it's also very relaxing, not a body stone like I'd get from a Blue Pyramid indica or that indica-dom Blue Ripper pheno, more of just a total relaxed feeling. A friend of mine that I gave a few buds to came back asking for more, said it stopped his back spasms almost instantly and I didn't tell him anything about it, just said here try this shit. That's usually how I test new strains/phenos that I think are good, give some out in a blindfold test, e.g. no information or background on the effects or even solicit feedback. The one's that offer feedback on their own like coming back for more are the keepers - lol Not very scientific but probably more telling than a test These BCBD BX3's are supposedly regs but all the one's I pulled were fems. This particular pheno clones so easy/fast that I haven't worried about losing it, I should consider selfing it though as a backup. Cheers.

Coming up, first generation clone of that indi-dom Blue Ripper pheno. This one was cut about 3 weeks after the first one I have going in the flower room. Put it in a 10gal to see what it can do and I'm going to run the 210w Elite Agro bulb I think, just to see what it can do. I'll have an idea of what this pheno can produce as the first one will be about 3 weeks ahead of it . After running the first clone of this one for 3 weeks I can see I should have watered/fed this pheno more and more often, that first one is sucking up a gallon a day and dry as a bone every 2 days in a 7gal. Not as many bud sites as the sat-dom pheno so won't likely produce as much but quality is better/different, great body stone that hits immediately on exhale, plus the head stone from the sat-dom pheno. Can't wait to pull some more, I'm out of the first 2gal from seed, should have held back on samplers

Hey bf, they were nice, decent density, lots of frost, very tasty/sweet. Only ran it in a 2gal with a couple of others to see what came up, no training. It's looking good, filling in well now after the stretch, just about to post some pics. Here's a bud shot of the mom from seed, Day 49 of 58.


Had fresh pollen from this male which stunk the basement up and hit the mom from seed with it. F2's are just curing, another week or two and I'll start popping some of those

Current run in the flower room. Day 56 for the smaller 3gal and Day 22 for the 2x 7gal at the back. Leaving the 3gal's for another day or two, they can use it and they're still drinking. Nice dense buds on both JTR and both Blue Dream's. The 2x Blue Ripper's in 7gal are filling in just past week 3, density of buds on the sat-dom pheno is better but the other one is catching up, filling in the spaces after the stretch. Both are healthy and drinking heavy, the new indi-dom pheno is taking in a gallon a day +, having to water every other day now.

Group shots:





JTR 3gal Day 56:



Blue Dream 3gal Day 56:



Blue Ripper 1 7gal Day 22:




Blue Ripper 2 7gal Day 22:




Fire OG 2gal Day 22:



Cheers

I threw some F2's from both phenos (same male) in a cup to see if they were ready. From the original sat-dom pheno, 3 of 3 popped tails so looks like they're ready. The one's from this new indi-dom pheno need some more time, only one popped a tail, another week or two at most they should be good to go. I may pop a bunch of both and SOG them early in the new year, getting a little impatient to see what comes out from these F2's Cheers...

Pulled the 2x 3gal Blue Dream's and 1x 3gal JTR out last night, Day 57. They'll be chopped/hung over the next couple of nights and I'll have fresh Blue Dream, JTR & Harlequin to choose from Xmas day

Blue Dream's:

Looking awesome man, what are your yields like off those 3 gallon containers?

Looks like you're going to have a nice Xmas!

Hey thanks Dave, those 3 will average about 2 zips each dry, another 1.5 zips or so from the Harlequin that got pulled last week. These were just about getting some variety and filling the space when it became available. Don't typically run 3gal's in there, I find 5/7gal better if I want some yield but these did Ok for smaller plants, great density on all of them. The drying room smells f'n awesome right now Cheers.

I wanted to try JTR but did not get a female...need to try harder.

New year, new beans? Worth finding a pheno, it's crosses well too, keep those males and stud them out! I just picked up a pack and all it's for is to see if I can find a decent male - lol
