~ HUMBOLDT SEED ORGANIZATION 'BLUE DREAM' ~
(Blueberry x Super Silver Haze)
"Cali genetics have gained international fame and recognition thanks to their exceptional traits, and Blue Dream is a great example of that: a strain with very special features, all the spirit of the west coast. But let's see why this blue Cali dream has become so famous:
The legend that became a bestseller
It's true that our Blue Dream has turned into the number-one-selling strain of our catalogue, but, behind that achievement, there are many months of hard work. We wanted to release a strain that would break the established standards, which is why we selected two outstanding genetics to cross: Super Silver Haze and DJ Short's Blueberry. After a long selection process, we all tasted the resulting hybrid and agreed that there was something really big going on.
Why is it that people like Blue Dream so much?
Although it's true that Blue Dream is a blessing for cannabis growers, we can state that the key to her success lies in her effect and her taste. Verified. Even the most experienced marijuana lovers are fascinated by her balanced effect that starts with a pleasant cerebral high, typical of Sativa genetics, and turns more physically relaxing as time passes by. The perfect choice for daytime use, because she doesn't cause paranoia but provides a nice cerebral buzz. With THC levels going up to 19 %, the high delivered by Blue Dream gives our senses a massage that raises the spirits; more or less like a shot of endorphins that could promote creativity, help us fully enjoy a good concert or simply a pleasant evening with friends. That exciting sensation is partly provoked by the terpene profile of this strain. According to the evidence obtained in the lab, Blue Dream has a high myrcene, terpinolene and caryophyllene content. This results in a super intense and piercing aroma that has earned her a well-deserved reputation as the perfect strain for the elaboration of concentrates with the taste of sandalwood and blueberries. Those who love old-school cannabis will definitely enjoy every drag of this tasty strain. An off-the-charts intensity on the palate that seduces even those who think have tried everything: lemon, pine, incense, sweet fruits and Haze. Blue Dream offers a wide variety of therapeutic benefits too. She's an effective bronchodilator that can also alleviate headaches, anxiety or depression, among others. That's why she's the pet strain of many people over 40."**

Weekly Updates:
3/28- Week Six of flower is here for the Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream which means she's only got a few more weeks to go and this lady is looking lovely!π
I let her dry out some more today and will water her tomorrow after checking the mediums moisture content again. Today all I had to do was some quick canopy maintenance comprised of leaf tucking to keep flowers from being blocked from the light.
3/30- Yesterday, I watered the Blue Dream with .75g of well water to which I added 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ and 1 tbsp/g of Neptune's Harvest Seaweed Extract, after which I ph'd it to 6.4 @ 74β.
The Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream is really looking great and is continuing to stack her flowers, although she has signs of Mag deficiency, which I believe I figured out what happened to cause this condition with all four plants in this run.
I've been using Earth Juice OilyCann and the last time I used it I noticed that, although the bottle was almost empty it still felt bottom heavy. After giving the bottle a violent shake, a solid mass dislodged from the bottom of the bottle. As a result, I'm pretty sure that the plants have not been getting the amount of Cal/Mag they've needed for some time... You would think as long as I've been doing this that I wouldn't make a 'newb' mistake like that, but hey I'm not perfect! π€ͺ
4/1- I watered the Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream today with .75g of well water to which I added 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ and 1 tbsp/g of Neptune's Harvest Seaweed Extract, after which I ph'd it to 6.5 @ 73β. It's hard to tell at this point if the added CalMag is having a positive effect on the plant, but since it only has a few more weeks to go there's not much more I can do except to cross fingers and pray!
Our outside temp's are rising now and nighttime temperatures are no longer dipping into the 30's and 40's which has made keeping the tent temp's in check a bit of a issue. I'm basically lowering the output of the lights to maintain temperatures in the 4x8 under 81β. The lowest I've had to set them to is 40% which is right around 260w at the wall, the highest that I've run the HLG 650R's is 70% which comes out to about 450w at the wall.
4/3- Today I watered the Blue Dream with .75g of well water with 5 ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ and 1 tbsp/g of Neptune's Harvest Seaweed Extract, after which I ph'd it to 6.4 @ 75β.
There's another week of flower gone, and judging from the looks of the Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream, and her Sativa dominance, we've got another 2-3 weeks to go before this fine lady is ready!
π Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!π
@TheCannaProphet, haha thanks, mate.:) I am waiting for this strain to be available in our region(they say end of may). I will definitely grow her. Have a lovely sunday bro.π
