Mother of Berries, M.O.B. Maine Strain

Flowering: Day 53 (Week 8 Day 7) today brings Week 8 to a close. Insignificant CFL adjustments. Light under canopy appears to be helping as popcorn buds continue to develop.

Germination: I know people out there will disagree with this but I have every seed sprout for me by doing this: I fill a solo cup water the soil and then make a small hole and put seed in and put just a little soil over the seed. Below I have done this method in 8 cups and you will see 8 sprouts. Did this with MOB and Donkey Dick. I haven't used cup of water germination or any other method. I'm not closed off to other forms of germination but so far this works for me.

Flowering: Day 54 (Week 9 Day 1) CFL adjustments. Lower leaves are being cannabalized and turning yellow. Amber hairs quite apparent on main Cola and through out the plant. Popcorn continuing to fill out nicely.

I'm wondering if I should begin flushing next feed? I think it may still be early for that.

Looking great! Do you use any supplements?
 
Flowering: Day 57 (Week 9 Day 4) Had to rearrange grow room as she was getting to be big for the space she had. Also, need to start using sticks and twine to hold her up as she is starting to lean to the right. She is continuing to cannabalize the lower leaves. Added a reflective panel and move lights to the bottom to focus on my under canopy development as I'd like to have a plant as full as possible. I changed my T5 on its side so as to blast the entirety of all plants as I learned that the stomata (underside of the leaves) are really what count for light and C02 absorption (google it). I'm beginning to wonder if the need for ultra high power light is only to survive reflection and provide adequate light to the under leaves as I'm having good growth with plain ol' CFLs sitting under the leaves.

Do you know how I would go about trimming her in such away that I could re-Veg after harvest and then after letting her heal for a few months apply colloidal silver to produce seeds. I like this plant and would like to keep a hefty production of them going.

To my knowledge, the colloidal silver is used to force the treated area to produce hermie pollen sacs which in turn produce feminized pollen which is used to make fem seeds. Doing this to plant that is revegged seems to me like a double whammy of shock. I'd be curious to see the results if you go that far. Otherwise the fem pollen can be collected and used as you want. Is MOB all that difficult to find? Do they sell reg seeds too?

As far as revegging, I'm yet to do that one as well, but some years back, I was subbed to a journal here where the grower revegged a large green stick after harvest. His name is donpaul.p from the UK and he just wanted to see what happens, so he removed all buds, then every leaf, then into veg nutes and lights. Took a bit longer than the already slow reveg process, but sure as shit, it grew back. I bet you don't have to look too far in 420 for some monster cropping threads.
 
In Maine where I live and the seed was created it's relatively difficult to find. A lot of people will try to pass off other fruity plants as MOB. Be wary of any seedbank offering this seed. Trust but verify. I may have to at least attempt seed production after a re-Veg I know it's a risky move that could result in who knows what but it needs to be done.
 
Flowering: Day 58 (Week 9 Day 5) probably going to need a feeding today. Monitoring soil closely. Put solo cups in with MOB to absorb a little extra light. Will move before it creates any potential soil issues (mold/mildew).

Check out this thread PotChimp's Side Projects PotChimp is a reveg master. If you have questions ask him. He has a few shots just recently of one of the plants he revegged.

Where did you get the MOB seed? TH Seeds offers a seed version of it but in their description they say it hails from Boston which is false from all I have heard. I too have heard of many versions of MOB all with different meanings for the MOB. I have heard it called Mother of Berry, Mother Of Bud, Maine Organics Blueberry, Maine's Original Blueberry, Mother of Bud, Money Over Bitches ect. In-House Genetics has a strain called Mother of All Cherries and they say they used M.O.A.B. or Mother Of All Berries I wonder where they got that from.

I like how you used a regular multi bulb lamp as you CFL light source. I too am curious why you have not gone to find clones of this strain or why you did not clone this one. I saw you say that alot of people claim to have the real thing yet they dont. Why not find someone that has flowers from the cuts they are selling so you can at least see if it is what you want. You are doing a fantastic job with a cfl and tin foil as a reflective surface :thumb:

It's that hard to find legit plants of this nature in part yes because it's generally elusive but because so many people BS about having the real thing it can take a while and in some cases testing to verify the specimen. It's highly sought after principally for its odor when it's growing as it smells and taste like Blueberry Cheese Cake (more then any Blueberry or fruit strain you will ever find) You are correct it has many names, it's predominantly known as Mother of Berries or Money over Bitches (I personally don't care for this one) because of its flowering time supposedly around 42 days. However, I've noticed that isn't the case. I didn't get clones from source of seeds because plant was harvested at time seeds were gathered. I'll definitely look into the material you provided. And of course compliments are always appreciated! MOB does not and has never come from Boston. She's a Maine girl. Also, link doesn't seem to function as it gives me error
 
The link works for me :hmmmm: It may be what ever browser you are using. Just a guess. So you know the person that made the seeds? I know it is a Maine girl, I had to laugh seeing it described as a Boston strain. I figure they either got a cut from there or they just figured more people would recognize Boston over Maine. Whenever there is a strain that is highly regarded people will always copy, mimic or out right lie about what they have just to make it more appealing. So I get wanting to do a seed run. You should be able to do a reveg and reverse that girl to get more seeds if the reveg takes.
