Strain
Blue Dream
Growing it
Easy
Resistance
Strong
Strong effects but not overpowering. Great day time strain that still lets you function, and doesn't leave you feeling burnt out. Grew as expected, definitely leans on the sativa side and grows tall. Takes well to topping and is very resilient and hardy. I would recommend support for the branches if growing outdoors, as they tend to be skinny and stretch out with a lot of weight on top. I had a few branches bend over due to rain and wind, but nothing serious. Some brutal weather could do some damage, though. Overall, a great strain. Grows easily and has high yields.

One of my favorite strains, Blue Dream packed a punch! This 5 foot giant flowered for about 9 weeks and produced a dried weight of 10 ounces. Waited until the trichomes were milky white with about 10%-20% amber. Cut off a bunch of fan leaves while the plant was still potted, and chopped it down over the course of a weekend. Hung to dry in my shed for a week, and then did a final trim and clean up before hanging up again for a few more days. Jarred up and began the burping and curing process 2 weeks after initial harvest. Smoke is smooth and has a nice taste, not harsh at all. The smell leaves a bit more to be desired, it honestly smells like the weed you would get back in high school... but it's definitely better than the stuff I was smoking 20 years ago! π The aromas come out a bit more once you break it up, but it isn't as potent as I thought it would be. Could just be the result of growing outdoors, which would explain the more earthy quality to it. Overall, the effects are great, so a minor complaint from me.

Grow Questions
bruxupstarted grow question 4 years ago
I plan on moving the plants outdoors within the next week or two. I'm going to be topping them, but I'm wondering if I should do it now during their last week inside or wait until I transplant and they're accustomed to the outside weather. Thanks in advance!

bruxupstarted grow question 4 years ago
Transplanted outdoors over a week ago and have noticed slow growth and new leaves have little holes and yellow spots on them. I've checked for bugs but can't see anything. Could this be nutrient-related? Or shock? Ph levels? Too rich soil? Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

That is definitely pest damage.. Looks like thrip damage to me.. You can get some Neem oil.. An Organic pesticide. Mix it with some Organic Insecticidal soap and spray it on your plant top and bottom of the leaves soak it all over.. best to do early in the morning before direct light. Just stop using the spray about 3-4 weeks from Harvest. Hope this helps! Happy Growing..
bruxupstarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm roughly 2-3 weeks into flower. Over the last week, I've noticed more yellow leaves than normal. Majority are bigger, older fan leaves but some are moving up the plants. New growths are a nice green and buds look healthy. Am I under feeding or overreacting?

CheckThoseTrichsanswered grow question 4 years ago
Heya!
Yes I would say that is alittle early for leaves to show deficencies during flower. Looks like she is being underfed and wants some more food. I noticed in your diary you don't list the pH of your water, for soil we want to make sure it is 6-7. If you know your source is within this range of have been phing it to this, then I would add more nutrients.
Now that you're a couple weeks into flower you should be feeding less nitrogen and predominantly more potassium and phosphorous. During the flower stage the plant will use a lot more potassium and phosphorous to go into bud production.
Now in saying this, are those few leaves getting much less light than the rest of the plant?
Good luck and cheers

@Jef79, Thanks, man! I appreciate you sticking around for the journey. We got rain in the forecast a couple days this week, but temperatures still seem good for the foreseeable future. It's October that's always the big question mark.

@bruxup, thanks mate, you answered to my question about topping my feminized one i got a diary on so i came to check ur plants and this one was great. I will top her in a few days, just made the transplant will wait to see if she streeses with the new spot and after that i will do it.

bruxupcommented3 years ago
@N_e_O, I like to top my plants twice during the grow cycle. The first time I'll top at the 5th or 6th node when they're still small. Once the 2 new branches at the top have 5 nodes, I top them both again. Around the time I top the plants, I also like to clean up, trim and defoliate smaller growth at the bottom of the plant so it doesn't waste energy on branches that won't fully develop. You have to be aware of your grow season because it's always a race against time. It's best to top plants while they're still in vegetative state so they have enough time to recover from the stress and go into flower without any issue. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!

@Zorachus, Thanks, dude! Appreciate the kind words, but I'm in no way a pro. This will be my third year growing (2021), and it's amazing how much you can learn in such a short amount of time. Your plants are coming along nicely, and if you ever have any questions or problems, there are a bunch of resources out there, including the awesome community on this site. Always feel free to reach out, I'll help whenever I can. Cheers!

I think the yellowing of the leaves is cursed by a lack of nutrients. Give them a bit more food π
