We've been using the same parents to make Blueberry since 1998. When I did my last seed run with Dj's F5 Blueberry there were at least three major classifications of phenotypes and perhaps as many as 7. It's not unusual to see a variance of between three to seven different pheno's from the F5 stock. All are stabilized to purple, berry/grape and resin production. May I ask where you purchased your seeds? Were they in the breeders packs? All the blueberry I've ever grown easily takes at least 50 days to finish. Closer to 60. I've documented my experience here on RIU in a Blueberry grow journal. I think I ended up putting it in the seeds and strain review section. We charge 80.00 for 13 seeds. Not 170.00 for ten. In bulk they're 60.00 for 13.
I know other breeders have been stopped from answer questions pertaining to their genetics on this site unless they allow the admins to extort money out of them for advertising. (I feel I'm risking being kicked off this site even commenting here) So basically RIU is censoring people from defending themselves but allowing people to slander others. Why haven't more people put two and two together and figured out why this is?

Oh OK I'm new here I didn't know all the politics on the site and i should of read up on the rules better but with that being said your explanation of the blueberry is right on spot and I ended up finishing at 65 days with 3 diff phenos varying from good to OK and yes they wer in the breeders packs and I forgot which site I bought them from but the price u quoted is fair and I just didn't realize their were so many phenotypes because I read that item was a stable strain but all in all it was a crapshoot but it worked out ok
I am unfamiliar with the stability of other strains, but from what I've heard Dj's gear is some of the most stable on the market. To be honest with you, out of 28 females or so I found myself wishing for more variance than I got. I was doing a pheno-hunt but felt like I was growing from clone to a degree and personally it was kind of boring to have so many similar pheno's. But that was just my experience and like I was saying I'm not really familiar with the stability of many other strains.
What strains have you worked with that you felt were more stable than Dj's F5 Blueberry?

breeders have not been stopped from answering Qs pertaining to their genetics period! breeders were never allowed to belittle customers or post links to buy their seeds. careful who you listen too.

I grew Blue Pyramid and it was the only strain of several that showed no sign of bud rot at all. Damnedest thing. It was too easy to burn with lights though. Two of those both had extensive brown areas on the upper leaves while other strains had none. They still grew though, just looked like hell. Pretty potent and smelled like Batman bubblegum to me. That's the pink gum that used to come with Batman cards a long time ago. I guess you just have to ease them into strong light or hold back water for a few days before moving to get them nice and solid. The upper buds turned nicely light purple.

The list would be too long to list all the strains I have worked with and there are many strains that are very stable just to mention a few would be SUNSHINE DAYDREAM MOTHERS MILK Jesup OG etc etc..The blueberry turned out better than I thought so overall I'm satisfied its just a weird strain that will even seed itself I definitely don't recommend the Blueberry by DJ Short to beginners because it's very finicky..During flowering they don't like nutrients and they use very little water if u don't let them totally dry out then they won't flower correctly
