Mother of Berries
Also known as: MOB, M.O.B., Mother of All Berries, Maine Original Blueberry
Overview
Mother of Berries (MOB) is a potent indica-dominant strain that originated in Maine and gained widespread recognition after TH Seeds brought it to Amsterdam. This fruity bud was born of Blueberry genetics in Maine and found fast fame in Amsterdam with breeders TH Seeds thanks to its incredibly strong body stone and pleasantly sweet aroma. The strain's exact genetic lineage remains somewhat mysterious, though it is widely believed to be descended from the legendary Blueberry strain, with some sources suggesting Jerry Berry as a potential second parent. Mother of Berries won the title of 2nd Best Indica in the 2016 High Times Cannabis Cup held in Irun, Spain, cementing its reputation among cannabis connoisseurs. The strain is characterized by its distinctive berry aroma and flavor profile, with properly cured flowers that burst with the unmistakable scent of fresh blueberry. Visually, MOB presents dense, compact buds displaying sage green and deep purple coloration, with these latter colors coming about when cold weather in the late stages of plant growth activate pigments called anthocyanins.

Growing Information
Mother of Berries flowers within a very brief 7 to 8 weeks when grown indoors, making it a relatively fast-finishing strain for cultivators. It offers growers a high yield of about 42 to 51 grams (or 1.5 to 1.8 ounces) of flower per square foot of plant. The strain's plants tend to be short and bushy, and rarely exceed 3.5 feet, making it suitable for indoor cultivation with limited vertical space. It can be grown indoors or out, although outdoor cultivation calls for a semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climate. Growers may need to prune light-blocking fan leaves occasionally to ensure proper bud development. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and is known for producing dense, resinous buds with excellent bag appeal.
