This is the first video I have seen of DJ Short. I bought his book 17yrs ago. Thanks for sharing 👍
Same here Sure is a lot of haters out there. I just like hearing about those old sativa types I missed out on and how it was before the northern lights boom and that good old blueberry I was around ✌️
I bought it too! Still got it I think
That book opened a whole new world in profiles to me
Really respect Dj short for his knowledge drops , good tips and great insights that only come from experience and careful analysis 🖖🏻✌🏻👏🏻🙏
This man is a weed genius.
What a legend, D.J. I grew Blueberry in 1991 in Alaska and it just came back to me, as a gift, vegging now. It's a legacy strain for sure.
My personal Thanks to you Mr. Short. Great work!
Aloha from slopes of Mauna Kea H.I.
I can only imagine, Hawaiian grown blueberry sounds amazing
Alaska to Hawaii is a complete 180 on climate.
I bet it did good in Alaska because in my experience it was awsome in the cold! The purple was so deep it looked almost solid black here in ohio. We had some early fall cold a few years and they held up amazingly!
The real blueberry cut is long gone I thought? I thought it got the hplvd?
@@SaulTeebolz I haven't talked to him in bout 10 years but last time I did, a guy I know had the original. We went through hundreds of clones of that stuff.
Legend. Thanks DJ for all your efforts. Your Blueberry cannot be improved on. It's perfect as is..
I must be really og because we never needed anyone else to tell us what was the best, We could tell for ourselves 😂
I started growing my own cannabis in the 90's and I'm still happy as a child on a christmas morning when I get a new harvest, it is so satisfying to smoke your your own production, I wish every user of cannabis could make their own to know this bliss. What he says in the end is extremely important, everyone is looking for something different in their cannabis that's why I can't stand some pot snobs claiming this or that is trash because it's what they like or it's not what's hype today. I like to grow a few different strains to use them at different times of the day and to me smells and tastes are a major part of the experience as much as the effect. I have a hard a time smoking a strain with a taste I don't like even if the high is exceptional.
He gets it these days most strains are plain with high thc
First flower I ever got to grow was the dj short blueberry. It was back in 05 with an old biker hippy. He taught me how to guerrilla grow.
Ive been growing for a little more than 20 years and beeeding a few less. I am first and foremost a gardener. The last part he metions about subjective preference. I grow and breed for beauty. I like potency but overall I like a pretty plant with unique terps. Blueberry fulfills all of the desire I have for a beautiful garden plant.
BLUE MOONSHINE was my favorite!
Thank Jah for DJ Short, and Thank Jah for Marc Emery Seeds Direct!
#Overgrow
I could never get burned out from a good, organic original blueberry. He's right. Over potency is a serious problem. If modern strains disappeared, I'd be 100% okay.
Ludacris - Blueberry Yum Yum
I agree 100% that effects are the medicinal value . Thc. levels are bullshit ! ( for bragging rights only ) ... Glass is king for storage . And time changes the effects constantly . I grew a sativa that was so potent i stopped testing it , ( apparently talking to the trees wasn't any fun ) . and 6 months later it was my favorite . Dj Short you just confirmed everything after harvest .
That was the one of the sickest tricks I've ever seen in a spot that was dope as ****. Great job reppin 🇨🇦 Brother 👊🏽 💨
After watching the Captain Jack video I made sure to subscribe. DJ short and his Blueberry strain are Legendary, it was great to see how he evaluates flower ☮☯💚🔥🌿
Thus is the creator of blueberry strain????
Yes he created the OG Blueberry@@senor9786
DJ SHORTS BLUEBERRY IS NOT THE UK BERRY
UK BLUES SHIT ALL OVER DJ SHORTS BLUEBERRY
@@senor9786Indeed, it is the man, the myth, the legend
I’m glad I got to meet him in L.A., at the Convention Center at a Cannabis event, years ago! I got a few of his Blueberry seeds, too!
The man, the myth, the legend!
This is how I judge flower:
1. Taste
2. Smell
3. Smoothness of Smoke
4. Potency/Effects
5. Appearance (color and size of buds)
And that's why you're not a legend like dj short...
The Dj Mantra ❤
Good insight.
so honored to share a planet with this guy lol
Please do MORE VIDS...👊🏼💚👊🏼
Brilliant! 🤖🤖
When you talk psychedelic sativa they are always equatorial. Equatorial sativa are long duration.
All sativas are equatorial
No difference between sativa and indica. Stop parroting nonsense you heard from other potheads. No weed is indigenous to the equator, and the ones that are there now, are in no way different, effect wise. They are just airier to prevent mold from humidity. Theres absolutely 0 reason why a plant grown by the equator would have a longer duration
@@ObjectiveMedia This is not even close to true.
Smart guy thanks for keeping the dank dank around.
Sativa > indica 💯
I'm an outdoor man, all the other stuff is well and good and I'm never satisfied with what I grow, I can be OK with it but never satisfied
That's the growers struggle my man. Were never happy with it😂
Yeah I completely agree man potency is definitely overrated and the more you experience cannabis it's just one little tiny piece of the puzzle. This is all assuming we are referring to high grade herb
For me terps>high>yeild+ experience of plant growing to harvest
Bought blue berry moonshine all identical ,nothing like it
Blueberry has the deepest flavor and the only strain that consistently kicks everyone that smokes it and it takes a long time to develop a tolerance. One of my favorite flavors also chocolope by dna and buba. I started growing blueberry when I was 13 that was 23 years ago . I have two boxes to tick when it comes to cannabis. Flavor and strength. Blueberry checks both ✔
Thc content is irrelevant. Its a feel not a number
do you know where to get some blueberry seeds, which company has the best? i'm in europe so probably something like barneys farm. would love to grow it next round come.
@Nakkiteline Why don't you use Google? Why would this random guy know the best company and place to buy seeds in Europe? You're also asking about a very old strain that's extremely easy to get.
Edit: took 5 seconds to find DJ Short Seeds Blueberry F5
Fuck yes you have the real deal if you know you know
Yep! Like PIE FILLING, to me.
No search for the promises, and no disappointment of betrayal.
The market is filled with too many LIARS and not enough LEGENDS.
@@Nakkiteline DJ Short is the ONLY person you can trust for anything close to his Original Blueberry.
If he can't provide those genetics to you, and I would recommend you contact him and ask, then you should accept that you will never experience the same level of quality that DJ Short provided.
Seeds just wouldn't be viable anymore, and clones would have drifted, UNLESS sprouted from, or tissue cultured from a cryogenically protected sample of his perfect Blueberry/ Blue Moonshine [the more potent line of Blueberry] genetics.
DJ Short's gear was UNMISTAKABLE and anything claiming 'Blueberry' today is like a fart on the wind. ILGM's version for example. Really 'weak sauce'.
Don't disappoint yourself with a Lie. Nobody can deliver what we got back in the day, and that's not a Curmudgeon view, its just reality. Sort of like 'Skunk'.
People suck and can't be trusted for honesty, and if they ARE being honest from their own skewed point of view, then they have HORRIBLE noses and palates, and TERRIBLE selection protocols. At a seed bank website, 99.5% of a strain's description is just a tool of deception. Draining BIG MONEY on Empty Promises.
Good luck to you. Blueberry is worth the effort.
p.s. Don't get fooled into _"you have to hunt for the perfect pheno"_ nonsense. A pack of ten seeds delivered every time. Even the males reeked of Blueberry pie filling.
so cool to hear some one who love to grow more than make money. so sick of hearing about how fast and heavy every ones cash crops are.
This dude is the real deal. I bought a 10 pack of Blueberry and all of the plants were virtually identical. Real fat stems and vigorous AF.
If i didn't know better i would have sworn it was a batch of clones, great for SCROG
I can judge it in just 3 moves
Yup whole plant sample not just that one super frosty cola.
Does he list his favorites based on his criteria?
I always thought it was the rapper who was behind that strain...lol
sativa
If it wasn't DJ Short's blueberry I would be missing one of my key medical strains in Orange Crush - I actually need to start growing it because it's getting harder to find for some reason. I would guess it's just not super stinky; it's subdued and complex - this is why it's not as popular on dispensary shelves, it just doesn't pop on the eyes or nose like the colorful pungent fruity and citrus strains that have been flooding for a few years now.
You’re not talking about Blueberry right? The Blueberry we were growing in mid 90 out classed everything I have seen since. Had the looks the nose the legs on effect and flavor that lasted to the roach. Far as I have seen we have fallen off since them days power mite be high but flavor not even close
Orange Crush -I've been pinning for that one since like 01'. Probably one of my all time favs. Anyone know whos got legit seeds for this one?
90s was the pinnacle. Nothing today can hold a torch. Almost can't explain the wave of euphoria and psychedelic properties to modern smokers.
I would smoke weed if I could smoke what he is smoking, mellow vibes from that DJ
buy the seeds yo
2001 boy I smoke alot
Interesting that none of his criteria is based on the look or smell of the flower. Its an amazingly beautiful flower but there is no prize YET for the best looking bud.
I've always been confused how cannabis cup winners are choosen In a day
Damn, wish you were my next door neighbor! What I could learn…👍
I feel like the short on set is the the type of bud that gives you anxiety and gives racing thoughts, atleast for me. Usually sativas.
Sativas are no different to indicas, effect wise. Even plant size wise, I've grown mixed batches that all came out to be roughly the same height/width, because thats something we can easily control.
@@flamingninja728 Idk man i only get that weird anxiety feeling from sativas. I've gotten indicas from the dispensery and the high is much better for me although I guess it could be the strain I'm not an expert just my experiences.
Yes
The creeper. Long lasting slow to come on.
Brodie seems to kn0w
i've tried probably 100 different strains of indica/sativa/hybrid and they all hit the same. the only difference is how hard it hits and how long it lasts, based on the thc and terpene percentages.
🤣
100 ain’t shit, that’s just starting
Bro get the fuuuuuck outta here with that bullshit.
Hmm 🧐
Taste and terps over anything.... I preffer terpy 15%
over any 30% pine / lemon / dirt terps
I have been a huge fan of the 1 year cure for years.
Cannabis breeds passion and homeostasis cb2 receptor inhibits all pathogens peace and love
This must be old interview
Old brick weed usually had decent lasting high if you smoked enough...
Dude spitting facts that mawfks will continue to ignore
You mean hes spreading lies that idiots will continue to blindly believe, with no evidence other than "BUT I FEEL THIS WAY"
I’m a big fan of heavy hitting sedate indicas
Indicas are no different to sativas.
@@flamingninja728 I was just repeating the phrasing of the guy in the video. Thanks for the information though
THC fuckery in Oregon labs? Oh pu-lease!
It's seems you like sativas. Like we all do... If you manage to restore the original Durban poison genetics, you will rewrite the history.
These days a majority of weed sucks... So much bunk
Hopefully the market will one day come to the realization that there is much more interesting stuff out there than the bland hyped up sugary strains of the day that we have now, like Gelato zkittlez rs11 etc. Mainstream cannabis is becoming bland and more inbred than the habsburg family.
Ikr? I like the candy stuff but damn, give me something offensively skunky like we used to find. Or something that's piney, when was the last time you came across something that smelled or tasted like pine. I've actually got a cool 1 outside rn that' smells like lime lighter fluid called mandalorian cookie haze. Pretty excited for that 1
@@hashtastic3537 I have some stuff left over from a while ago that's *very* piney, it's called "Larry Lovestein". However I tend to prefer the skunky/gassy/offensive stuff. I will say that I do enjoy some of the Gelato and Cookie hybrids but pretty much everything that's hyped up right now is just a rehash of what's already been done for the last 5 years or so.
@@hashtastic3537 Finding those skunk phenotypes and making them common again will take some time, I think a good move for the market right now would be to breed more heavily sativa dominant strains that have those sugary bakery terps. I'm sure there are high school stoners out there right now who have never experienced a true sativa high because all their plugs sell is Gelato, Runtz etc
@@hashtastic3537 I got some pine from a colorado dispensary just a year ago.
@@flamingninja728 remember the strain name?
This is a prime example of why you can never go off of others experiences. Just about everything Short said is contradictory to my experience. Not that he is wrong on any level but his effects and what he is looking for is far different
He is wrong about several things. The main one, that every single idiot believes, is that indica and sativa have different effects. They dont. Different terps MIGHT have different effects, but indicas and sativas can get the same exact terps, and are the exact same on a molecular level.
But again this is his personal opinion. Everyone’s different. Receptors react different with everyone.
I’ve been smoking this mans buddha for over 20 years and this quite literally the first time I’ve ever seen him.
What type of weed takes 40min to hit smoked..
Super creep
Honestly he has some good points and says some ridiculous stuff like grind the whole plant up and test that 😂 He’s obviously a legend and definitely one in his own mind.
Not sure why you'd say that since it's a well known fact that cannabinoids exists not only in the flower or the trichome.
@@MarcusLager Because plant matter is harsh because of chlorophyll and causes headaches. Youd have to be desperate to smoke leaf.
Dude is just describing creeper at the beginning.
One thing is that certain cannabis has more cellulose, like if it's organic.
So that means by nature 100 grams of organic will have less % of thc, because most of its weight is in the cellulose. So hydroponic weed naturally will have higher thc per 100 grams. But that doesn't acctualy tell you how much Medicine is in the glands when you smoke a bowl.
What you have to do is test ripe resin glands for the percentages. Along with other glands. And then use that information along with the standard test. So people can tell which cannabis is more potent relative to its plant material. One gram of cannabis has so many resin glands on it, and they all vary in potency when they finally reach you. That's why them testing 100 grams of their best material doesn't really tell you how potent the glands are. And how many glands you get per gram of flower. That would be a better test.
Another thing to think about is that sugary fruits after drying begin to crystallize. And although this subject is a wood flower, the material overtime breaks down and the chlorophyll sugars begin to crystallize and like a cured bar of soap, you just get a more evenly distributed burn of all the materials in synergy.
Bro Science....NOTHING beats proper outdoor.....NOTHING!👍🏻
I have been smoking weed for 24 years now, I have never had weed take 45 minutes to hit me from the time I smoked it. 10 minutes yeah, 15 maybe, but 45 seems like a stretch. Biochemistry might have something to do with it, but scientifically speaking a healthy individual should feel it after a few minutes. If it takes longer, there is probably a medical issue with the person that smoked it.
True i was thinking the same thing. He might mean like full effects including tiredness or munchies?? Cuz sometimes it can take me 45 min to get hungry but not higher 😂
Sativas can take a while to hit fully
I believe he meant by 45 mins in you would've fully felt the entirety of the strains entourage effects 💚
25 years .. really ? Newbie hasn't had the really great " creeper " weed from the 70s and 80s . Your experience is short and not well rounded , claiming your years of experience is lame . DJ is right , higher THC doesn't mean better effects or benefits . Personal favorite still is a Malawi gold , stuck with it for years , highest ever thc was @14% and it's trippy like some old 70s Acapulco gold !!
@@ImaOkieI've also got 24 years of experience but I'm from near Durban originally and growing up we would on occasion have access to great Swazi Gold and Malawi Gold. Doubt anyone born in the 80's (myself included) knows what true Durban Poison is (doubt that it still exists in it's original form) but we had amazing (and loads of terrible) outdoor stuff that would have so many differences in flavours and smells between whatever you bought (that was sold to you as "Poison"). Vastly prefer those strains or even stuff like Silver Haze, Jack Herer, Blueberry, Sour Diesel (whatever your definition of that may be) and even variants from 15 years ago to the more "modern" Cookies/Gelato/Skittlez/Runtz varieties.
What weed is this guy smoking that he doesn't feel the effects of a bong hit for an hour?
I wanted to slap him if he said "soaring sativa" again
1:11 i filtered that ones out of my grow and use ....thats why i started growing my own bcs long time on black market we could find only that heavy stoners couchlock ......smelling bad .....i no like it at all just nice smelling plants like medows in heaven
Oregon sells mids tho..... 😂😂😂😂😂
0:45 hmm, u have not smoked off genetics i'm having .....its imediate onset with first puff after 5-10 seconds and lasts half a day if u take 3 puffs ....i forget i lighted it up after 2-3 smokes in ashtray when i'm on internet ...everytime ....its full stress reset not sleepy but u can chose active or layed back and its not blurry but clear mindvery inspireing ...its hybreed to indica 70-80 %? but flowers 80+ days ...big strong buds structure ....everything is nice on this one ....one ina milion ...aroma is creamy cake with like roaste wallnuts and hasselnuts nice gasy and some strange subtle fruit i never tasted cant compare it to anything, not sour not sweet not bitter but njam supernice ......i have to make OOOOOOOO noise as i let smoke out, special aroma and imediate effect and longlasting .....i have many magic aroma fruitys but after hour two of smoking it i want something else and more ....and more .....this phenoD creamy is completely different high (makes you 100 satisfyd) then 99% plants i've tryd in over 2 decades and im growing dosens every year from my own crossings of all special plants that apear .....if anyone have 100 K in cash he can get a clone + he must send me clone if i ever loose original mother plant ....i'm in east? Europe where it is crime ...by criminals
and body high is special from this one not like other indicas .....i have to add like someones is huging you nice
i will trade you my blue jeans for them
Oh yea like some dirty eastern european knows anything about genetics and phenotypes asking 100k for your bush weed clone get a grip
DJ SHORTS BLUEBERRY WAS MIDZ 😂😂😂 WTF U LOT ON ABOUT
I consider it quality smoke if your a good enough grower to get her to sing. But no matter what, shes a low thc girl. Highest I got her was 17% using actual dj short genetics thatve been floating around since way back
With all due respect, blueberry didn’t come from DJ. DJs Blueberry is Dutch without a doubt. This guy is an old generation breeder that makes strains for old heads that can’t handle todays genetics. That’s the truth, I’ve grown from dozens of breeders and hundreds of genetics and all of DJs work is mediocre at best. On top of that these grading tips are terrible lol. Blueberry has a very low threshold and tolerance to me, it’s never gotten me high enough for my preference, never actually tasted like blueberries to me at all. His breeding is far out dated compared to modern strains and these tips are absolutely awful, maybe useful 40 years ago lol
Then why does almost everyone in the industry respect his opinion. You sound ridiculous.
