Sapphire Voyage|BlueRaz×Blueberry Caviar

ChillSpace Well, here we go! Holy shit, I cannot believe I’m actually starting this one! 😂 I’ve been looking forward to these genetics for such a long time, and honestly, it’s a little surreal to finally have them growing in my own little setup! Ever since I first learned about Blueberry Caviar, I’ve been absolutely fascinated by it. Something about these genetics immediately caught my attention, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to experience them for myself. I actually reached out to Jason at Ridgeline Farms a while back to ask whether Blueberry Caviar seeds might ever become available. I wasn’t really expecting a response, but to my surprise, he replied! His answer was simply, “Not yet.” That might not sound like much, but I thought it was pretty damn cool! Here I was, just some random home grower asking about genetics I’d been admiring from a distance, and the man himself actually took a moment to answer. Of course, that only made me more interested! 😂 I kept following Ridgeline Farms, watching for anything related to Blueberry Caviar, and wondering whether I’d ever get an opportunity to grow something from that family myself. I wasn’t particularly hopeful, either. These were genetics I’d heard so much about, and I knew getting my hands on the exact plants or selections I was interested in wasn’t necessarily realistic. But that didn’t stop me from dreaming about it! And then Ridgeline announced Blue Raz × Blueberry Caviar. DUDE!!! I knew immediately that I wanted this pack! Now, obviously, this isn’t the original Blueberry Caviar itself. It’s a cross combining Blue Raz with Blueberry Caviar, which means there’s an entirely new combination of genetics to explore. But that’s honestly part of what makes it so exciting! I get to experience something directly connected to the genetics I’ve been fascinated by for so long, while also discovering what this particular combination brings to the table. I’m not expecting a perfect recreation of Blueberry Caviar and I wouldn’t know either way lol. I want to appreciate them for whatever they turn out to be! But still, the fact that Blueberry Caviar is actually part of their lineage is exciting to me! Unfortunately, I completely missed the first release! I’d been keeping an eye out, but those packs sold out in just a few hours. By the time I realized what had happened, they were gone. DAMMIT!!! I was genuinely disappointed. I’d wanted an opportunity like this for so long, and when it finally appeared, I missed it! I figured that might have been my chance, and I wasn’t particularly confident there would be another release anytime soon. Then Ridgeline announced a second drop! This time, I wasn’t messing around. I knew exactly when the release was happening, stopped everything I was doing, and made sure I was ready. I can’t even explain how satisfying that felt. After all the anticipation, wondering whether I’d ever have the opportunity, and then missing the first release, I’d finally managed to secure a pack! And somehow, the excitement only increased while I was waiting for it to arrive. I’d already decided to start three seeds right away, so I got everything prepared ahead of time. Then the package even showed up a day early! HELL YEAH!!! 😂 I opened it up, and there they were. Ten little feminized seeds carrying a combination I’d been ridiculously excited about. I spent a moment looking at everything, and honestly, it was one of those experiences where something you’ve been thinking about for so long suddenly becomes real. I wasn’t just looking at pictures or reading about the genetics anymore. I was holding them. And naturally, I immediately put three of them into the germination chamber! I’m not even exaggerating 😂 they went from the mailbox into the germination chamber in about ten minutes. Everything was already prepared, and I was excited to get started! And holy shit, did these seeds respond! I was originally expecting germination to take somewhere around 40–48 hours, which has been pretty typical for my recent attempts. But when I checked them less than 24 hours later, one had already cracked open and developed a little white taproot! Not just a split shell. An actual visible root! I was absolutely thrilled! I moved that little explorer into soil, leaving the other two siblings to continue doing their thing. And by later that evening, both of them had germinated too! THREE FOR THREE IN UNDER 31 HOURS!!! What an incredible way to begin this adventure! Obviously, successful germination is only the beginning, and I have no idea what these three plants will eventually become. But seeing all three respond so quickly was an awesome first experience with this pack! And then came the labels. 😂 Blue Raz × Blueberry Caviar doesn’t exactly fit neatly on a plant tag! Those things came out ridiculously long! Hahaha. I ended up turning them into little flags, and honestly, I love how they turned out! I’ll definitely be shortening everything to BRxBC when I start labeling clones, but there was something especially satisfying about seeing that entire name printed out and sitting above those little pots. I know it’s just a label, but damn, that moment felt surreal. Something I’d spent so much time following, reading about, and hoping to experience was finally sitting in my own propagation tent, with three germinated seeds underneath those ridiculous little flags! I’ve decided to call this adventure Sapphire Voyage, and I couldn’t be happier with how it has started. And honestly, the excitement surrounding this pack has been something else. I’ve already found myself imagining what these plants might become, thinking about the possibilities, and enjoying the anticipation of discoveries that are still months away. But there’s no need to rush any of it. For now, I’ve got three little seeds in soil, seven more safely tucked away, and an entire adventure ahead of me. It’s hard to explain exactly why this particular pack means so much, but I think it’s because I’ve wanted an opportunity like this for so long that I almost stopped expecting it to happen. Now it’s happening! Welcome to Sapphire Voyage! 💎🚀 I don’t know what treasures might be hiding in Blue Raz × Blueberry Caviar, but I am so damn excited to find out! Let the voyage begin! 😎
