7 East Genetics

8/10 overall. Super easy to trim. Hard to overfeed (I never did and she ate very well). Loves cool temps, especially in flower, anything over 75F and she will put off rotten berry smell. Lots of branching and she takes very well to topping (in hindsight I should have topped twice instead of once). Very few water/sugar leaves on colas, making the trim insanely easy with mostly just pistil hairs needing a brush cut (could probably use a beard trimmer lol). The one difficulty that someone new to ABC will face (like I did) is that the seeds are very tough, and either need a lot of heat (like with a heat mat) and/or using a nail file or clippers to remove a tiny piece off the end to let water in and germinate quicker. If you don't use either method, these will either take forever to germinate, or they simply won't. I personally had good result with a heat mat set to 85F, and the ziploc bag and wet paper towel method. I placed a soft facecloth underneath and on top to trap the heat and prevent direct contact with the heat mat, and it only took 3 or 4 days for 100% germination rate, without any clipping or filing. The overall yields are not that high either, and the flower time is a few weeks longer than most, so the score of 8/10 is fair in my mind. The one caveat to the score would be that you need to grow this indoors if you live in a humid climate, as I've been told by other growers of Blueberry Bastard that the mold/mildew/budrot resistance is terrible. These are very drought resistant, and in dry climates these will do okay outdoors so long as you feed them well. Many pictures of pre-harvest ABCs look skimpy and lacking hardly any bud, and that in my opinion is from not feeding enough of the good stuff.

easily a 10/10 for flavor, smell, and effects. As stated by breeder, the yields are relatively small, and trimming is mostly shortening the pistil hairs, and removing a lot of tiny little water and sugar leaves. Seeds are hard AF, and require clipping and/or lots of warmth to germinate in a timely manner, but once germinated these are very tolerate of environmental pressures and adapt accordingly, but a consistent cool environment is preferred and she will put off foul smells if you exceed 75F in flower. The nugs are small and dense, but have barely any resin at all, which makes them easy but tedious to trim. I give an overall 8/10 when factoring in flowering time, yield, growing difficulty, taste, smell, effects, and appearance. The downsides of a longer grow and small nugs is overshadowed by the pleasant and therapeutic high.

Harvested Pollon

harvested pollen and pollenated females. Insanely aggressive grower (as males tend to be). Very healthy but sensitive foliage.

As far as plants I’ve grown so far from seed, these three were impressively similar to smoke. I’m very impressed by the consistency of these. I don’t know if I could say the flavor was actually pineapple. But it was definitely citrus, a little skunk, and a nice cooling subtle mint. Effect was strong and uplifting but no anxiety.
