Blue Dream

moonwalking The plants are entering the bulking phase. Bud sites will start fattening up soon, but right now, it's mostly pistil growth.

moonwalking Just about to enter Week 4 of flower in a couple days, amber pistils are starting to appear. Blue Dream strain is known for a 9-10 week flowering period, so pistil color change around Week 4 is just the beginning of the ripening process. Still in the mid-flowering stage. The most dramatic bud expansion happens between Weeks 5-7. The real ripening happens closer to Weeks 7-9, when most pistils (70-90%) darken.

moonwalking Notable increase in size and density. Blue Dream flowers for 9-10 weeks so they're just past the halfway point. I added Organic Dry Molasses, Organic Worm Castings, Organic Seabird Guano.. the Seabird Guano really stinks! it took a few days for the stink to go away after adding an additional layer of soil on top. I also added a pinch (about 5ml/gallon) of Epsom Salt to one plant that was beginning to turn slightly yellow, that helped and it's back to green. There was also a little chem burn at tips of leaves from Tiger Bloom, so I flushed them a bit and have decreased feeding for a while and it has helped.

moonwalking Plants are in late flower (around week 6). Buds are swelling nicely, with lots of frosty trichomes developing.

moonwalking Things are coming along..

moonwalking Just about into week 8, getting some color in the leaves.

moonwalking Getting close to harvest day

moonwalking They're stacking up nicely but still need a few more weeks to go. Just keeping it simple with my feeding, only giving them Organic Dry Molasses, Worm Castings, and SIGNAL Terpene Enhancer tea. Also, just to be clear, this is 4 plants total and the front left is the top clone from the plant at the rear right. the rear right plant was growing like 3 times as fast as the other two so i topped it and made the clone. the other two plants were not topped.

moonwalking Still waiting for them to ripen.

moonwalking Still cooking on the vine.. letting them marinate.
