Blue Dream

So this is week 5 of my first ever photoperiod grow. Grown 3 batches of autos so far with good success thanks to the excellent advice on here. Growing 4 plants in a 4x4 tent. 2 from Humbolt, 2 from RGS, including this one, the Blue Dream CBD. There's also a Barney's Farm Tangerine Dream autoflower in the tent at the moment, as I started these as I was finishing my last batch of autoflowers to save time. I topped this one at the 4th node, leaving the 3rd nodes branches on and stripping everything else, then topped a second and third time to get 10 main branches (hopefully). Once the tangerine Dream is finished in the next week, I'll add a first-level trellis to even out the canopy. Shouldn't take too long now to cover it as I've done pretty much all the high-stress stuff to her I need to already, and she's bounced back like a champ. Really impressed with this strain so far, and loving the way I can bully these plants in veg so much more than autos.

The Tangerine dream autoflower I was finishing off was finally ready and chopped today, which meant I could add the scrog at last. Will let all 4 plants settle after some pretty brutal HST for a few days. These girls should be ready to flip to flower in the next 10 days as the canopy is about full. Will lollypop everything below the scrog after that.

Things progressed nicely since the last update. All 4 plants are loving the environment. These pics are taken 9 days after the last update with calyxes (I think that's their name?) starting to sprout. I flipped the light schedule to 12/12 the day after these pics were taken, marking day one of flower.

Week 1 of flower, pics and video taken on day 6. Lollipopped everything beneath the scrog 3 days ago. All 4 plants are looking healthy and happy.

Day 14 of flower and all 4 plants have stretched over a foot in the last week. Should start putting all of their energy into flowering now. Looking really good so far. Really, really good.

Progressing smoothly. Starting to see a frost around the flowers. Very encouraging. They're drinking about 2litres of water a day each and have fed nutes every watering.

Such a shame this plant and the Royal Gorilla are under the 2 cheap 300W LED's. Can really see the difference on this side of the tent to the other side which has the 800W COB led. The nugs are far more dense and numerous on that side than this. Won't be using these LED's again, but they've served their purpose. Got a year out of them and they were peanuts. Time for better lights now, quantum board required for next grow! Added molasses into the mix because I ran out of Terpinator and why the hell not? Pics taken day 49 of flower. Another 10 days or so and I'll begin the flush.

Just given last feed. Pics taken day 60 flower. Starting the flush.

Started the flush. Still packing on weight. Smells of mangoes.

Chopped day 69 of flower. Exactly 4 months from seed. Weighed 244g of trimmed wet bud and around 1/2lb trim which will be made into bubble hash. The buds are stickyand smell like mangoes. Impressed so far with the quality and smell. Will update with full harvest pics when dry.

Lovely grow from start to finish. Hit is harder than the 10% THC suggests. The high is extremely mellow and the taste is sweet like mangoes. Looking forward to the hash from the trim. May even run this one again along with the higher THC non-CBD Blue Dream next run. Love it.
