FarmersLab seeds Canada
Blue Dream Auto
Day 3: sprouted, as usual with these seeds. I sow them directly in the soil.
Here is my new attempt to grow outdoors on my balcony. I am keeping my expectations very low.
My last three plants were destroyed :(( I'll spare you the gorey details.
My most recent sprout got eaten by a creature while I was out of town :((
Let's just say the odds are stacked against me.
Here's hoping...
Outdoor grow in a tropical climate 7-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Auto-flowering blue dream seed. What are your predictions for this grow? Time to harvest and size of yield? Thanks! :))
Hi there @natasha! Bluedreams harvest time is 8-9 weeks from the time it switches to flower! However this is phenotype specific meaning each plant could be slightly different so in order to best determine when to harvest i HIGHLY suggest picking up a 10$ handheld microscope from amazon and looking at the Trichomes through it aiming for a high % of them to be cloudy. Properly taken care of Outdoor BlueDream can grow up to 22 ounces per plant however with only 7-8 direct hours of sunlight on an autoflowering strain in your tropical climate you will most likely be seeing 8-12 ounces come harvest time. Just remember to Train her with LST to expose all of her undergrowth to valuable light! Hope this helps resolve your question Natasha! 😎
hey there , light is important but patience in more important ! I say 16 weeks maybe more, 120cm tall for 56g of bud + some extra ... i hope ! good luck and don t be shy to ask more questions ! 🚀
With the 7-8 hours light that shoukd help make her bigger and yield better than an artificial light. But being an auto i don't think its uncommon to get between 60-100 grams per plant. I personally believe the bigger the pot, the more room the roots will have and the bigger the plant can get and the better the plant can yield.
Happy vegging ✌️
Week 3 and she's adding new leaves every other day.
A lot of clouds but no rain in week 2. She has been sun-dappled 7-8 hours a day. It's winter after all.
Temps are stable and less humidity in the air.
Heavy rain coming week 3 so she'll spend some time under cover.
Traveling xmas week, will use auto watering technique.
She is small for her age and small even by Auto standards. My other plants were definitely bigger at this point. Probably the lack of sunlight during winter season.
Day 22: Basil cuttings planted with her for stealth and companion
Hello I've seen people telling you to grow indoor without even knowing that you live in a High humidity area , my local growshop advise peoples to grow indoor in a room with an AC on because of 2 things :
-1st) The RH in a tent even with a good intake and output your RH will barely get under 60% (optimistic value as 75% with airflow is not uncommon )
-2nd) A normal day can be around 29°C outside so it's higher than recommended temps , but in the tent you can add 3 to 5 more °C which is a good temps for Co2 use only.
But something smart you could do is to grow them outside during the daytime and put them under a light during 6h in the night time 😁
@Natasha,Ok I get you ! I had auto grow straight in 12/12 with like you only 8h of direct sunlight and I had a nice quality harvest but a low yield. If you don't need to smoke one everyday then it will be a correct harvest 😁✌️🏼
@OutForReal, thanks for the great info but sadly growing indoors is not an option for me. Maybe one day I can invest in a nice grow tent :) but for now I am at Mother Nature's mercy!
wow , you are asking for a complete growing guide, and thats to much to write it down in one comment. I would recommend you to visit some helping sites, ther you have a lot of pictures and articles to read. i will post in the comments a link
or you ask @spinnergrow . iam sure he shares his knowledge of growing in tropical areas😃

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks so much! I love growweedeasy.com that site is a wealth of information. It's good to hear from the larger community of growers, too. Best wishes!
2 Weeks old
2 sets of leaves
6 inches of stretch re-buried in soil
--------
-North facing balcony, partial shade.
-Tropical climate, northern hemisphere.
-7-8 hours direct sunlight daily.
Week one was rainy at times so I spent a lot of time moving her around to shelter her from the rain. Lots of sunshine, too, which she is thoroughly enjoying :)) So far, so good!
Natasha
