The 80s strain that made fruity flavour possible
Before the 1980s, tasting fruit in the garden was mostly wishful thinking. Then Blueberry, the legendary 80s strain, changed expectations for good: a line whose unmistakable berry character proved that flavour could be bred into a plant on purpose. The video above tells the story of that breakthrough and the genetics behind it.

Flavour is a genetic record too
A distinctive taste is not an accident; it is the signature of the line that carries it. Once a flavour-defining line like Blueberry exists, the whole question becomes who keeps it true. Flavour character, like any genetic character, is only passed on when the living line itself is passed on.
That is exactly the thinking behind CloneBuzzz Genetics. Verified living clones carry a strain's true character, its flavour included, intact from one grower to the next. Without living lines, the genetics behind a taste like Blueberry's would drift until the original was unrecognisable.
