Strains that haven't made it to 'dam yet?

Post by True Playa »

After the whole 'uk cheese' fascination (despite none of them truly having it...) it's made me think about how I'm surprised other strains haven't reached the dam yet.

One word, Blues!

Its more of a central/northern clone only strain which all in all, is quite similar to the exodus cheese, but with a much fruitier, sweeter smell and taste.

On blind taste/smell tests, I'm sure the blues would come out on top, but it also has much less of a 'ceiling' to the high and yields better,

Last time I was in dam I kept thinking to myself, my blues would piss on 95% of this shit...

Am still genuinely surprised (and glad) arjan and co haven't got their grubby paws on it!

Post yours...

Blues is Psychosis which is Blue Cheese, I am in no doubt about that whatsoever.

i thought that for a long time boner, until i grew out blues, its not the same strain as either pysco or blue cheese, the closest you would maybe get would be a nice blueberry pheno in bb cheese

Nah mate, the blues isn't cheesy smelling, it's undertone is much more fruity than cheesy, but still with that sk#1 intensity. I can't really say with regards to psychosis but the blues and blue cheese are quite different, I've had both side by side a number of times.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, its nice but has never compared to blues for me...psychosis though I've not definitely smoked, only once someone said it was that but I'm not so sure.

1: Exodus doesn't smell or taste cheesey, the word cheese was used in that area as a word to describe the dankest weed, like Peng is used now.
2: "it's undertone is much more fruity than cheesy, but still with that sk#1 intensity." is pretty much how I'd describe Psychosis.
3: When I say Psychosis/Blues is Blue Cheese I mean its an Exodus cheese crossed with a Blueberry dad, Big Buddhas is his watered down cheese crossed to blueberry.

Do you mean it's all very similar or all exactly the same strain? I'm confused.

I know nothing is 100% but in uk cannabis folklore, the blues is regarded as another sk#1 pheno, like the cheese. Psychosis is a lesser known exodus strain, but again allegedly a sk1 pheno.

I've read a lot about the blues, and whilst I know a lot is guess work, it's pretty widely regarded that the blues is a separate strain to blue cheese, psyco, etc.

I take it you are familiar with ot1 and vrg? They have done some interesting work in bringing the blues to seed form...

This is the best statement regarding cannabis not only in the UK but the world and not only with clones but seeds as well (the reason I mention seeds is simply because you might get sold a pack of skunk but end up with a pack of skunk plus 1 other especially if the breeders work with more than one plant. (I used 'skunk' just as a generic term not a specific strain)

Now this is what I know/heard/researched/guesstimated from my own experiances not only smoking but growing and once upon a time doing something else to do with cannabis that I dont want to put in print but I'm sure you can guess. ;)

Exodus Cheese is a pheno found in an early pack of Sensi Seeds Skunk #1 (this I think everyone agrees on).

Psychosis aka Blues aka Livers is one of the same and imo it's Exodus Cheese crossed with a Blueberry male, Psychosis has been said to be a Big Bud crossed with Skunk#1 (Blues has also said to be a Bid Bud/SK#1 cross) it's also been said to be a NL#5 pheno found the same time as the Exodus cut (my Psychosis isn't anything like NL) and of course just another pheno from the same pack of Sk#1 that Exodus came from.

Does that make more sense?

We can all say what we think/what we know/what we assume but there will never be any 100% cast iron proof of anything (unless you can do a DNA profile of the plant) especially in the cannabis world and especially if it stays illegal.

I know all about Ugorg btw.

AFAIK true playa is correct regarding blues. As for strains not getting to dam, yeah some of these UK clone only strains and also nothing these guys are doing is in dam http://www.ugorg.com

EDIT
Just noticed you guys had already mentioned them in the two posts above this one...

Yeah boner that does make sense, I had heard tales of there once being an 'exodus stilton', I guess it must be true...!

So basically you think that psychosis/blues is the clone-only blue cheese and the blue cheese sold in seed is just hacked blues/psychosis?

You ever grown side by side?

Back to the topic though, I'm kinda glad these uk heritage strains are still relatively illusive, arjan/Derry etc all have enough cash as it is without churning out poor examples of clone-onlys...like green place are doing with all those shit OGs.

I think Psychosis and Blues is the same thing which is Exodus Cheese X Blueberry (I reckon the dad might even be DJShorts original Blueberry dad as it's supposed to be the shit), the seeds are Big Buddhas Cheese (Exodus x Afghan) x Blueberry, where he got the dad from I dont know but I'd bet it's just seed stock and more than likely Dutch Passions.

No, I was offered the Blues clone but the guy I got my Psychosis from said he's done both and he's convinced they're one of the same, maybe I'll see if I can get the clone and do a side by side (saying that theres something called Bullshit Blues thats doing the rounds which by all accounts is just a clone from a nice seed plant of Blue Cheese someone grew, this brings it all back to not being able to know 100% what something (especially clones) is), obviously smoked both though.

Yeah all the differant OG's make me smile, if the original OG Kush is clone only all the differant cuts must be from seed stock which are all just S1's but people just rename them to try and make a few extra $'s, maybe I should rename my White x Sour D, self it and make myself a small fortune. :D

Why not go for ugorgs blues? Apparently it's almost identical in every way, I guess that still gives room for doubt though in comparative terms.

You heard of psycho-berry?

Too much genetic variation in the beans for them to be anything like the clone imo, the only thing I know about psychoberry is what I've read, I honestly dont know anyone thats smoked or grown it.
