Humboldt Blue Dream

~ 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."** **CREDIT: Humboldt Seed Organization ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ This will be a 100% Organic grow ~ Initially seed was planted directly into the medium. ~ Planted into a 1qt. plastic pot filled with that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 6.5 ph. ~ Seed germinated for three days before breaking ground. ~ Grown in a 10g fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite amended with Xtreme Gardening Mykos, Gaia Green 4-4-4 (2tbsp/g) / 2-8-4 (1tbsp/g) and 30% Worm Castings. ~ Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with Gaia Green slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~ Straight well water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ~ Grown under HLG 650R's with a 18/6 light cycle for vegetation, then 12/12 to flower with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower.

The Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream is experiencing the same issues as the Sugar Bomb Punch strain in this run, starting with discoloration on just the leaf edge points, then progressing throughout the leaf starting at the tip, causing the leaves to yellow and dry out. Looking back at the readouts from both my AC Infinity and TrolMaster Controllers I think the issues were caused by too wide a fluctuation in the temperature, RH, and consequently the VPD which remained way higher than I usually have it. The cause was due to me not using an A/C unit to maintain a constant temperature in the tent, instead relying on cold air being brought in from outside via an in-line fan feeding through a 6" hose. While our weather was cold at the start of the run temp's weren't an issue. But as our weather became unseasonably warm for this time of year, the temperatures climbed up to a max of 84℉ during lights on. I will say that her flowers are getting incredibly frosty which may be in part due to the additional stress placed on her from the leaf issues and the temperature. I will say that, if it was not for the ugly leaf discoloration/damage she'd be looking epic with her frosty flowers, granted they would have been much more impressive had things gone differently, but all things considered I'll take what I can get at this point! Also, she now has a penetrating aroma coming off her that really mandates a good Carbon Filter for sure! Just because I have years of growing experience, it goes to show that anyone can make mistakes. The important thing is that you recognize them, their causes, learn from them, and strive to not make the same mistake again. 4/6- Today the Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream was watered with straight well water that was ph'd to 6.7 @ 72℉. The Blue Dream is getting close to being ready to go dark for 48-72hrs and I've been flushing her for almost a week now. She is fading nicely, is full of frosty flowers, and her trichomes are just about where I want them. 4/8- I didn't water today and only checked the Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream's trichomes which now are about 80-90% milky. I will continue doing a check of her trichomes daily, looking for them to get to 80-90% milky before placing the Blue Dream in the dark for 48-72hrs to boost the trichome production before she's chopped, and hung to begin the drying/curing process. 4/10- I'm pushing the envelope on this one and I'm going to be patient and give her a few more days to allow time for her trichomes to develop a bit more. I went ahead and watered the Blue Dream with 1g of straight well water that was ph'd to 6.7 @ 72℉. Seven weeks of flower done for the Humboldt Seed Organization Blue Dream, and Week Eight should be the finish for this beautiful lady! 💚 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!💚
