HI,
when i read about the strain blues i just want to grow it, but as its a clone only and unfortunately dont have them type of connections to get one i would like to know how close is the KS to blues andhow can i tell a blues pheno?

i have a very tall lanky pheno with very hard heavy buds which strectches about double in flower, has a distictive taste which is hard to explain and very nice taste.

and i have a very short pheno which barely stretches at all when in flower and is extremlely fruity taste/smell

both good for partys an music imo


any info much appreciated

i would guees its the one wiv fat/wide leafs and itl stink and taste of blueberry ,i hope as im growing sum out now,only seedlings still tho .

ah right thought that might of been more towards the blueberry/smellyberry type, the short one i have has massive leaves like an stinks lovely, bigger than ma head. so you'd say that one would be more towards blues then?

cheers

good luck with yours

The Blues Pheno will have thinish leaf-blades, and will barely stretch beyond doubling its size, if that, come 12/12. There would be considerabe branching and sub-branching going on, and all branches, given light, will form massive colas by harvest at day 63 or thereabouts. The smell and taste are unique, and very hard to describe. When cutting the plant in harvest, the smell will be overwhelmingly strong, its really almost intolerable and makes my eyes water even though I'm used it. The smell dies back during drying, but another, fruitier and sweeter smell develops after drying, in the cure. This smell that will get out even from sealed Kilner jars. Carrying this bud in your pocket is a serious risk to your liberty, you will be smelled at a good distance!
I took a sealed stash tin over to a party once, the entire car stank for a week!

The Blueberry influence is only by way of the Smellyberry side of the KS parentage. So far I have not come across a KS pheno in my grow that resembled Smellyberry. Sure I will do one day, but I think that the Blueberry genes seem rather dominated by the Blues, which is hardly surprising, given the mix that KS is. After all, UGORG's aim in creating KS was to try and breed a strain that was as close to the Blues as is possible to get. I think that the KS is a cracking result, it really does seem to have the Blues genetics in dominance. The pheno I have most worked with is so close to the Blues I have to be seriously careful with labelling because I really cannot tell them apart be it in the growing stages, the flowering stages or even in the smoking!

E2A: I've just jarred up my latest harvest of Blues and KS (plus a rather nice Smile). After two weeks hanging in darkness, the smell is now tolerable from the individual colas. Really, when freshly cut, the smell is not just overwhelmingly strong and pungent, its borderline unpleasant yet hugely desireable - does that make sense? I think if someone was blindfolded, a person who had never experienced any cannabis at all in their entire lives, and you made them smell a fresh cut cola, they would recoil away and mention either long-dead animals or petro-chemicals. But an experienced toker would recognise the overwhelming stench of "Cannabis, killer cannabis, licensed to play with your head Mish Funnyfanny".
Yup, yieldy again.

EA2A: Duh-uh Forgot the main point! Nowt to do with this fat spliff of Blues, I'm sure
Anyway, the Blues and the Killer? Damned if I could tell these two apart whilst jarring up. Growing both, you've really got to be on top of the labelling. Smell and looks and yield - all the same.
I think I might even have to do a belt-and-braces thing and put one of the mums in a coloured pot with the plants name written on it as well as a thingummyjig pushed into the compost. JIC. State I'm in right now, it'd make sense

If you want the Blues ... buy some KS seeds. That's all I can say. Stoned, and out ......

thanks for the very detailed post arnold, much appreciated, the way you describe the blues pheno with the thinish leaves and the unique smell/taste it sounds much like my taller pheno, ill be growing both my phenos again very soon an hopefully will get more of a idea then.

my shorter one sounds exactly how you described smellyberry in the SB thread, so hoping that i have a pheno of that too, would be a good result from only cracking 2 seeds if so. when ive done them again ill get some pics up and describe them best a can an hopefully you could tell if i have what i say.

love the music with my killers and thats EXACTLY what im after, hence why i asked about a blues pheno, as ive read from one of your post somewhere that the blues is the best music listening weed.

thanks agen

Dan

the best ideas always come to mind when stoned eh

i'd describe the smell of bules almost sick like - only had the dried bud
