Day 1 - Put seed in paper towel. Wet it and put between 2 plates.
Day 3 - Seed germed and then placed in rapid rooter and planted into a 1/2 gal nursery bag.
Day 5 - We have breakthrough and seed capsule came off. Here we go!
She's sucking up the Nitrogen. Just read online says Blue Dream is a nute jog and loves Nitrogen. Says it needs at least 2X as much.
Fan leaves are bigger and she's praying to the LED gods. The genetics so far are impressive.
Running lights at 75% its hitting around 550 to 600 par right now.
I topped her again to fix the FIM and removed the bottom node.
So to start week 6 I watered her 1 gallon of 6.5pH water.
I defoliated under the canopy and took off the top 2 middle leaves to let light down the middle
Then I LST'd her real good to get all branch tops at the same height for a level canopy.
Ending Week 3. The budlets are well formed.
I'm now switching over to bloom nutes.
I'm going to be using Alaskan Fish Morbloom 0-10-10 and Dr Earth Pot of Gold 1-1-1 All Purpose Organic Plant Food
The Dr Earth is to give just enough Nitrogen and contribute PK to the Morbloom nutes.
I took 1 gal water ppm 200. Emptied 4 cups of water from it. Then mixed 1 gal of the Dr Earth. There's 16 cups per gal and instructions say 2 cups for small plant and 4 cups for large plant.
So 1 gal will provide 4 cups for 4 plants in my grow tent.
Then added 15ml of Morbloom. The pH was 3.14. I had to add roughly 1 tsp of Potassium Bicarbonate to get it back up to 6.5pH
Ppm was 1500 so it was perfect.
This is where alot of people kill their plants using fertilizer. They don't tell you in the instructions to correct the pH and people end up killing their plants.

Picked a couple inside fan leaves off that were blocking light to lower buds.
She's developing nice flowers now.
Starting to get smelling too.
Same feeding as last week.
1450ppm a 4-10-10 feed.
3 days between watering is perfect.
One watering im giving her water with 2tbsp unsulphered molasses.
No deficiencies noted. She's got sativa fan leaves.
Was feeding them every 3 days when watering 4 times in a row. Juicing them up with a 5-10-10 mix for blooms.
The Morbloom fish ferts are doing an amazing job. The buds have burst out with more pistils and chunking up some more.
So far she's beautiful, lots of trichromes are showing up the cola tops shine in the LED light. Sticky and smells alot stronger now.
Mild smell so far. She's getting very frosty. Can't wait to see how snowy she looks when the trichs go milky.
Very sticky resinous girl so far.
Update before Week 7 of flower
I have gotten the air temps inline more with simulating fall.
Lights on temps are now around 76F-78F and Lights off temps are 68-70F
She loves the Alaskan Fish Fertilizer Morbloom.
It is making a big difference this grow on all my girls.
So something appeared this past week that I was worrying about when I raised the plants a few weeks ago. They were pretty close to the lights for a few weeks. 2 weeks ago I removed the pot spacer to get 3" more distance from the lights. I also reduced the power from 75% to 65%. My par meter was pegging 1100 at the tops. Now it's around 850 par.
At first I thought it was Nitrogen deficiency as Blue Dream loves Nitrogen and usually requires 2X as much as other strains. But the leaves weren't wilting or brown spots like N deficiency does. They also don't fall off when you touch or pull gently on them. So it's light burn.
Weird cause the top cola leaves aren't showing the burn. It's on the outer middle. I rotate the plants 1/3 turn every 3 days for even lighting. So maybe the distance was ok right before the cola leaves grew. Still was strange when trying to diagnose.
Week 19 Flower
She's still maturing. Still putting out white pistils, some swelling if calyxs has begun. About 5 to 10% trichromes are turning amber. Maybe 1 to 2 weeks left.
She's beautiful and is beyond my expectations. No hermie bananas so far.
Garden of Green did an awesome job breeding this strain.
