DJ Short - Past, Present & Future (Documentary Interview) 

Blueberry will go down in history as one of the all time greats.

Someone tell Dj that R the Connoisseur isn’t Rob Clarke, it’s Ron Rosenbaum the author. Thanks for the interview - by far best interview of djs and very well edited. ❤

Blue Moonshine was like Blueberry Pie Filling in the form of Cannabis. SMELLED just like Comstock and TASTED like Comstock. And I'm a retired Baker, so I KNOW blueberry pie filling. No whispers or hints of a Flavor, but real _SMACK YOU IN THE FACE_ levels of Scent and Flavor. Amazing! And when I compare THAT experience to what passes for 'scent' and 'flavor' delivered by the _hack_ varieties on the Market today, I want to nominate DJ Short [and, honestly, Breeder Steve for his Sweet Tooth #3 concoction that STYLIZED the Blueberry into an AMAZING celebration thereof] as ABSOLUTE LEGENDS in the world of Cannabis, as a whole. The OBVIOUS commitment to PERFECTION represented by their EPIC contributions, sets them so far apart from modern 'breeders'(🙄) that I see them, for the aforementioned Varieties they produced, as ARCHANGELS in the World of Selection. Jah Bless!

I was in Santa Cruz California on my way to see the Dead in Sacramento when I bought a bag from this homeless guy . He said it's the DJ Short BB , it smelled like blueberries, tasted like blueberries, and had this beautiful color. I only got it once. I've never seen it again. Not like that.

Your blueberry saved my life for me super interested in a plant that I loved now I'm 25 yrs in to my growing experience. Kudos 👏 to you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating a strain that was so special to me it changed my whole life and what I wanted out of it. Your the man

The "Flo". Ran it over 20 yrs ago. Excellent, he's a legend

The 98 Blueberry was sick.

DJ is a real OG straight naming names 😂😂 love it. I feel you brother 🤙🏼thank you for the incredible medicine 💙

DJ Short is a legend.... awesome interview!

Greywolf is from The peninsula of washington state. I am also from Wa State. I am a formulator who started after learning from Greywolf with lavender flowers…Greywolf started the process on a tutorial.He was a mentor who I believe is the one reason why I got into the industry and I learned to NEVER cut corners on quality. A lot of my secrets on de waxing have came from Greywolf himself many many years ago. I been in the industry since 98 Greywolf taught us that it could be done without blowing shit up and killing our lungs ❤❤❤ You just had to use your brain. He likes to use the word “moot” a lot 😂 ❤❤❤

"kind" and "blueberry" came to Meigs Co. Ohio in the early to mid 80s , then directly to the middle of West Virginia very shortly after, still growing those great grandchildren outdoors and indoors here 💚, summer 2023

13 hours of darkness is brilliant. because plants grow in the dark. An additional hour of darkness each night is enough to make slight difference in phenotype expression 65-72 hours of additional darkness.

Great video ! Long time grower from the midwest 1973, haven't missed a season since. Interesting you mentioned the BOEL. My good buddy went to Afghanistan in "73" with a dude from the BOEL named Kevin, on a hash run . While they were there they purchased some Kush seeds. We grew them out in "74" and renamed it Skunk due to it's heavy skunk smell. No "Sam the Skunkman" here..he,he,he ! Many of our buddies were busted due to the skunky smell, over the next few years, and I regret everyday that we did not preserve the seeds like we should have. Peace

Time is precious, so much to do. Thank you, DJ Short.

1st pack of seeds I popped when I was 16 years. Still miss those phenos. 25 years later still think and talk about of blueberry regularly with my peers.

Heck yeah Mr. Short ✊ Flo is still my all time favorite! Thank you for creating such amazing strain. Your passion for the plant brings a tear and a smile ❤

I pictured DJ Short as a younger hat on backwards, kinda guy…..so glad he is my age and and incredible intelligent and well spoken….well done Mr Blueberry! You are a legend up here!! 🇨🇦👏🏻👍🏻😊

DJ is a legend

Dead lot Kind bud in the 90’s was so beautiful.

Keep these coming! These are awesome to listen to and hear about the original breeding projects from the people themselves, would be a shame to loose these stories for the future generations coming into the Industry since these are the same tales I remember hearing from the breeding community here in Chicago

I understand not being able to grow out all your beans. I have thousands and im just a small time hobby guy. I can’t stand the weed shops commercial garbage. So I make my own. Breeding is more enjoyable to me than smoking. Although I do love to smoke. But making unique things is crazy with this plant. F1 expressions are crazy fun, like a box of chocolates you never know what your gonna get.

Love hearing these stories of the OG's

D. J. Short, the best American breeder alive today. His "kind" of weed was crossed with Super Silver Haze to make my mom's all-time favorite strain! Thanks for helping the plant get out its message of love to the world, Mr. John!

Legend, found DJs strains through the Cannabible books. His plants and buds looked so unique, got me to grow Grape Krush and F13. Great looks and flavor!

He said every flavor of haze 😮 dudes a legend

I’m a better human being and a better stoner for listening to this man speak. Knew he was a legend but they just don’t make them like this anymore.

I got your seeds from this guy Bill that came to our snowboard shop in the mid 90's here in Oregon. Flo. That plant finished out Sept 15th-20th and was the best I have had. Best herb for snowboarding. Thank you so much. Bill helped Peron in SF. Bless his and your soul. I sure miss Bill.

Very insightful. Not common to find people so experienced in the matter with the ability to articulate their thoughts so well.

Ive been growing and smoking this purple blueberry for 20 years now and thats all i smoke smooth and soft great buzz no paranoia

Blueberry ! greatest strain ever created !!

I was fortunate enough to have smoked Blueberry in the late 90's and DJ Short was one of the first breeders I learned about who created their own strain. I have been involved in the industry one way or another since 1997 and I witnessed a lot of different strains come and go but real Blueberry(Kind bud) is one of the best strains I ever smoked. I see Blueberry today or Sour Diesel or Silver Haze and im like nope thats not it, I don't know who sold you that dream but I was smoking the real strains when I was 13, 14 yrs old, my parents smoked, I had a boy whose parents grew some fire Northern Lights back in 99. I smoked real Chocolate Thai. These genetics today are so diluted and crossed that if it wasn't for people like DJ Short you would never find a seed that actually came from the genetics it says it's derived from

Always kind of wondered what the guy looked like. Always someone I've loved reading about and stuff,but he was kind of more mysterious until I saw this interview. I'm not disappointed.

👍🏻👍🏻😎🍇🍏🍓🍋🦨🍍🦨🦨🎂🦨🦨🌬️🌬️🌬️really enjoying the D.J Drops great videos.

EVERY FLAVOR OF HAZE!!! PLEASE SHARE, I NEED HAZE IN MY LIFE. Been a sad world without haze around because nobody will grow it. DJ Short is one of my favorite growers and this interview just makes me love him even more!

I’m smoking home grown Original Haze right now and I love the flavors of the different flowers.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. As a small scale grower that started growing 20years ago. It's been eye opening too see what has been happening here in Thailand after only 1 year of legalization. Everybody rushing in to get a piece of the pie. I'll just keep doing my thing. Hopefully still standing when the dust settles. Maybe even holding a bag of money. If not, at least some killer weed. 😅

Hey D J. I invested in your genetics. I also crossed them with some humbolt county strains. On my fifth generation. Getting better every year thank you

Love this. It’s not about the money it’s about the passion and love. 💪💚💨

Could you imagine in 1980 getting weed from this guy? You would’ve been thirty years ahead of your time and all your friends who were still smoking Mexican brick happily.

Love this guy!!! Been a fan for a decades Still never had blueberry! I’ll have to grow some!

Blue dream was a plant that seemed to be used alot for commercial, I'm a medical patient in minnesota and I saved seeds for about 15 years, and upon legalization I sprouted 40 of 70 seeds. And the crazy thing was the plants were so uniform. There was a major variety, and then a minor, 70/30. But the minor was just a descendant of the major. Same structure, flower time, flower production just slightly different size and color between the two different types. I pretty much figured it was blue dream descendants, I've been growing it privately for a year and it is a very stable genetic.

Great interview! Really interesting to learn more about Blueberry and DJ Short!

Thank you for your outsized contribution. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Appreciate your art. Man, I'd love to grow from seeds of your haze collection. What a dream.

I love how he mentions kuhn's structure of scientific revolutions. Yeah, they excerpt from it in most intro psych classes, but it is an important look at how we do science and how science progresses and "iterates". And his strain is nothing short of a miracle.

Blueberry is my forever known and stamped in my memory strain my mentor for real

This guy ruined my “pot” experience. Smoking was great until I Got ahold of blueberry. For several years that’s all I would smoke. A friend had seeds and he cloned his mothers and bred blueberry. He had a whole system down. Very professional very well kept. He got seeds in a bag of blueberry and that’s how he got started. 2016 he got popped and it was over. Man…blueberry was and still is exceptionally great

I remember the seed starting kit from Honeycomb 😂🎉 Crawdaddy

I love this interview... Thank you for this.

Heaven forbid all people should give Credit/Praise to the Original Creator of all Genetics!!!🙌

Thank you for doing these, DJ Short is a hero :)

The 1st Cannabis Expert DJ SHORT 👍😎👍

finally I always wanted to see a documentary on him

fantastic to listen to. i have never smoked blueberry. the chance that i will encounter the real thing is small. in the late nineties i smoked bubblegum once. i have never encountered that smell and taste again.

I loved this interview very much and want to see more! Very good information from a true legend! I want to hear more and more! His grandma got bused growing in 1938! WOW WOW!

This was great. I did find it interesting when he started speaking about his distaste for 'science' around 12:50. He describes how the method of testing thc percentages back then versus now partially explains why their numbers were so much lower back then. He explains that in his experience you get better expressions of phenotypes using 11/13 which aligns more with the environment in the tropics and how UV radiation could explain more genetic variety etc. He talks about how we are beginning to understand the entourage effect as we learn more about terpene interactions with cannabinoids. Even his studies on how F1s seem to average the two P1 parental attributes, but as you move to F2s you see more variety. Whether he realizes it, all of that is him learning using the scientific method. "How does science then and the parameters of science expand themselves to what we know to be true but cant be proven with science." That is exactly the point of the scientific method and what he is already doing. You don't have to, and really shouldn't, trust anything presented as fact and shouldn't acknowledge anything as what 'we know to be true'. People use deceptive math and research to 'prove' something they already thought, and most times want or expect, to be true. It's the reasons textbooks have new volumes and editions. Nothing is ever fact or provable or 'true'. Science is just a method to study consistencies and help explain anomalies. When he says people tell him certain strains help with various ailments, and that he doesn't need science to explain or prove or disprove why or how that works, that is his view and prerogative. That said, there are people that will say consuming large amounts of colloidal silver are healing them up to the point they turn blue and die from it. No need to do any research on it because some people say it works? You can give a recipe to make a cake to people around the globe and every cake will come out different. Finesse is understanding and controlling variables as they present themselves, which comes through both succeeding and, more importantly, failing. Over and over. He has done this and is an expert in the field. I just sort of feel how he defines what science is here misses the mark as he has been using it the whole time.

Blue dream made fall in love with sativas

I love the hazes, just really nice, so thank you!

On my life the king is in the building... ❤ DJ short da king 👑

Thank you for your work to the community an the very original djshort blueberry my dad worked the 1 in 5000 expression pure Thai pheno

Really interesting. One of my heroes.

Excellent interview the best I've heard

This talk contains so much info for a grower, if you didn't experience those years yourself. And his view on the current market, especially in Europe, is really on point.

Thanks! I loved listening to you, thanks for historical insights on the history of the variants of our beloved plant.

Total class act.

Thanks for putting in the time over the years DJ. -TomHill

I remember my first experience with blueberry absolutely fire 🔥 first came across my path in 95

Could listen to him for hours

breeded some dj short and some subcool genetics , stoked to have these legendary cultivars

The science is finally catching up with the things that long term growers already know through our decades of experience. I’m excited to see what science discovers that we don’t know!

Checking in from Bend. ✌🏽🌄

Great content

Also was a kid strapped down for nitrous oxide 4 times a year from a children’s dentist starting at a very early age. The local news wanted to interview me once, and asked me what I liked most about the children’s dentist office…. I was still coming down and I just excitedly told them it was the gas! The looked horrified and literally walked out of the room. I’m screaming at them to come back! When am I gonna be in the paper! Lmfao.

Great stuff 🌳💚

Great interview.

Mad respect for dj short.

Blueberry, Sour Diesel and Catpiss are my all time top 3!

Nice guy and great breeder. 👌👏👏👏

If only we could get DJs 90s blueberry today. 😢

Great video thanks

Great content 👌

I remember the kind bud

Got Me some BlueMoonshine seeds in 2004 and still have a pheno from then.🔥🔥

Dj is far ahead of his time. I have a different opinion about Dj now. He’s a brilliant guy who I had pictured all wrong. I may not get along with jd but I respect Dj

Great video

Such a great interview how come there was no genuine link to DJ short seeds. Definitely don’t want to be getting any bootleg or rebranded.

Who is gray wolf? Never heard of him. Can’t wait to to experience some of the hazes dj is talking about though some of my favorite smoke

Greatest people come from Detroit!

Wow 🔥..thanks for the post

I love you Shunk and Blueberry....

That's what we did...created it and gave it away.. He's right though, if you want to keep it, give it away... Take care of the people.....

Very interesting vision for the future of cannabis production.

The GOAT!

Very Special Video, thank you for sharing!! Absolutely would recommend Stoney Mike of Stoney Girl Farms... Incredible story and still one of Oregon's best growers of all time

Whittaker Blues is my favorite DJ strain.

Yes

Thank you DJ Short.

Amazing, thank you for preserving this history!

I hope one day we see more hazes from Fj Short. I miss good hazes.

Very solid video 👍👍👍

He is not a pollen chucker.he really bred it.
