Strain
After harvest report: Nirvana Blue Dream was pretty much a cruise control grow. The only real problem was my heavy hand when I snapped one of the main two branches completely off. I reattached it with masking tape and splinted it with a small piece of wood and sure enough it healed and produced a nice bud. It was far behind its twin but it did grow and it did flower. Might have cost me a half ounce or more. After the break I was very apprehensive to train and sculpt this plant the way I envisioned mostly because it was the only plant I had going at the time so I figured not to mess with it too much more.
I was also somewhat skeptical of the single 315w light. Although operating cost was very low and heat was never an issue I'd still love to know what kind of bud weight I lost compared to a 1000w HPS. My next grow Im going to do 4-5 weeks veg + 1 week of bloom under the 315w then finish blooming with a 1000w HPS. If I get bud weight close to a 315w or a 630w then I'll be done with HPS, I just couldn't believe how I could keep a small space in the 70s with just a 6" exhaust fan.
