What is up guys? The time has finally come! The blue dream has officially sprouted, she sits in 7.5L bio bizz light mix with RQS easy boost. I’m hoping this can take her most of the way feeding her RQS easy combo if she needs it. I’ll be feeding her PH balanced filtered water. The only problem I have is with my other plant being in flower the humidity is low, but I’ll keep them covered with open lids until harvest day when I can fix the whole room humidity. I also had problems with the easy start with all 3 taproots growing straight out the top. All 3 were removed and planted straight into there pots. With the purple lemonade going very bad I hope I can apply everything I learned to this grow and have a more successful harvest day.
Any comments and advice is always appreciated, stay safe and happy growing😎🍁🌱
Day 1: 30/3/20
I added a mini hygrometer to watch the humidity, I removed humidity domes as the humidity was through the roof.
Third day in and I’ve just given her 50-60ml of filtered water at ph 6.
What’s up guys! Finally into the second week day 8. She’s doing amazing, I’ve never seen growth like it. HPS lamp is really doing a good job, my seedlings usually look like this in the third week. My first two grows really showed me how important it is to get autos growing correctly from the first day otherwise it really effects the growth throughout the life and fingers crossed I’m getting it right this time🤞 I’ve started with 200ml plain water this morning as she was getting super dry and seemed to be using the 150ml rather quickly. She’s pushed out a lot of new growth which you can see from the photos. I plan to do lots of lst and defoliation with this plant and potentially I may top her once. Really undecided on the topping though, is it worth it? I had a bug follow me in from outside and it started buzzing round the tent, needles to say it didn’t last long once it bounced and cooked itself on the lamp🤣 I’ve added a lot of sticky traps to be on the safe side. Temperature and humidity are a bit out of whack in my opinion but the plants show no negative signs so they must be enjoying it. I could have my hps much closer for the benefit of my 3 babies but my other plant being in flower needs it a bit higher, hopefully harvest that one within a week and then the three babies can really start benefiting and soaking up the light. Super excited to see what this plant is going to get up to! Stay safe, happy growing!😎🌱🍁
Anyone have any ideas what this orange/brown mark could be? She’s in RQS easy boost and only been getting ph 6 water. I changed her pot yesterday, possibly something to do with that? Maybe different ph in new medium? Only one affected so far out of 3 plants. Thanks!
It could be from a change in ph of the medium, it could be adjusting to the new medium. Maybe splashed a drop of water and burned under the lights?
Seedlings especially autos can be a little sensitive to their soil/media, I wouldnt stress to much and keep on doing what your doing. If it starts spreading or the plant starts to really droop or yellow, then a correction will be needed. It will probably sort itself out in a few days.
What’s up guys! Day 15! She’s massive for her age in comparison to my previous grows, very impressed. Only downside I’ve noticed a few orange/brown marks all on the same leaf in the same area, I’ll watch her over the next week and granted nothing gets worse I’ll start LST on her. I was hoping to start lst today but I think it’s best if I let her do her thing over the next week. I watered her a tiny bit today 300ml with the boost grow tables from royal queen seeds so I’ll also see how that effects her. Temperature is running a bit high all the time but i just can’t do anything about it, I added a extra fan to help move the heat and this helped slightly but until I can invest in a LED I just pray that they hold up. Very excited to see what she does next, adding some friends for her in the next week🤣 happy growing everyone✌️🌱🍁
Update: very early hours of day 17 and I decided to lst her along with my other plants, perhaps it’s something to do with constant air blowing on them but all stems are very rigid, not a bad thing but I see the potential in them being unbendable if I leave them too much longer, hopefully they all love it, Tad bit of clawing on the smaller growth, hopefully it grows out fine, see you next week✌️
What’s up guys! Day 22, she’s really impressing me with growth and loving the lst and defoliation, I have done lst over the days of week 3 and got rid of any leaves blocking light to lower areas and it’s going well so far with plenty of heads coming up, I can say it has definitely paid off watching a previous plant grow naturally before attempting lst. The downside is the leaves curling down and taco leaves but they seem opposite to heat taco, the only thing I think it could be is low humidity, what do you think? but apart from spraying walls and placing wet towels I can’t do anything about it. Other than that she’s still growing nicely🙏 temperature seems okay with the extra fan as it’s been cool outside recently, my 7 hygrometers range from 25-29c so I think it’s all good✌️ my next plan will be more lst and defoliation where needed, what do you think to defoliating the rusted leaves at the bottom? The spread of it seems to have stopped since being watered after transplanting, she’s gained some pistils the last few days, way earlier than I was hoping to see them, the way things are going next week may be a flowering week, we’ll see, hoping she still stretches out nicely. very excited to watch this one grow! Happy growing!🌱🍁
Day 29: she’s gone crazy since the last update, side branches have taken over the plant I’m very happy with how the LST is going, I’m hoping to get one last push up and one last bend on the main stem before leaving her to flower. I purchased a new pH Meter a few days back and it turns out I have been giving the plants ph of 6.8+ the whole time and since getting the new one and giving her 6.1 she started growing hell of a lot faster(hard to judge I suppose because of the age it could just be stretching) how ever the major curling has stopped to a extent and she just looks a lot happier, super excited to see this once continue to develop🙏 there’s a ton of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be concerned about it? Thanks! Any advice is appreciated! Happy growing!✌️🍁
Hey guys! started week 5! She’s looking great, nice and healthy. I’m concerned with the amount of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be worried about this? Or would this be where the roots self prune and this encourages more root growth within the pot? Thanks!
Hey @Ema29,nothing to worry about you found the answer to your question. The roots just get pruned so it’s a good thing for root development
She looks fine to..maybe a bit high on N butt nothing to worry about 👍🏻
Happy growing and stay safe ✌️
Hey! When should LST be stopped? Currently day 32, pistils all over, she’s been loving the lst and defoliation so far, my only concern is doing to much LST and preventing the stretch from happening, any advice is appreciated! Many thanks!
Day 36: huge amount of growth and development in the last week, I’ve been playing with the tie downs moving them around and i gave her one last push on the LST and she’s now being left to do her thing, hopefully she still stretches up over time and has some nice dense colas. However, sadly circumstances mean I need to get all of my plants out ASAP, light cycle has been changed to 12/12 for my photos and I’m hoping this doesn’t have too much negatives on this one and my 2 week old autos, I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep them all going but I’ll see them through as long as I can🙏 thanks and happy growing✌️
Day 43: some very sweet progress, heads everywhere, loads of pistils and a nice amount of sugar is now present I’ve released some of the tie downs on low branches, vertical growth now seems slow so perhaps this may encourage a final push allowing them to be the same height as the other heads. As far as the 12/12 schedule goes I think growth is the same or perhaps even better, weird. Thanks for reading! Happy growing✌️🍁
Just did a final big defoliation, lights really getting those lower sites now! Now we just wait!😎✌️
Day 50: It’s fattening time! She smells very Berry like, believe it or not🤣, she’s got a hell of a lot of budsites all looking nice and frosty, there’s a couple of brown spots on a few leaves and a yellow crisp tip, any ideas what this could be? So somewhere along the line I started giving her 24hr by accident but this has clearly benefited her massively, my photoperiods not so much.. she’s now back under a 12/12 schedule so hopefully this doesn’t slow things down too much, very excited to see her progress, I had to move all my setup around so I’m now just growing without the tent material, everything seems better climate wise since moving everything around! I’ll try to get some better photos up in the next few days! thanks and happy growing✌️
Potassium deficiency? Is it worth fixing this late in flower? Or is it normal because of it being late in flower? Bad pictures due to lighting, thanks!
Day 57: she’s atleast doubled in fatness over the last 7 days, smells super nice, very sticky, I’m seeing no sign of cloudy trichomes yet, still a bit longer to go yet, anyone have any estimations? I’m a bit disappointed with the 12/12 schedule but I can’t do anything about it, I really feel she could be way bigger now if she kept the 18/6 cycle. She’s got quite a lot of rust spots and curled tips/edges, I’ll try up the ph to 6.2, I’m reluctant to add anything to the mix this late in flower purely down to the fact she’s only ever had plain water. Roll on the next week✌️ thanks and happy growing!😁🍁
Any of the data regarding temps,ph,ppm etc is from last week and I’m going to update it all tomorrow✌️
Day 64: she doesn’t seem to be much different from last week, maybe some more sugar here and there, perhaps this is to do with the fact she’s been a bit neglected this week, going 7 days+ without water also on a 12/12 schedule. I may have to introduce some nutes to her to finish her up, what do you think? Still can’t notice any cloudy trichomes and definitely no sign of amber. The rust and deficiencies have really got worse, implement some bloom nutes? Thanks happy growing!✌️
Day 71: still playing the waiting game, majority still look clear, she’s not looking great but this late in flower I’m not worried. The 12/12 seems to have rapidly slowed down the progress, still excited to see how she does, thanks and happy growing!✌️
Week c/o Day 78: photos from day 80: she’s slowly getting there, I’m starting to see a lot of cloudiness, ambers are starting to appear, perhaps a few more days and she’ll be there, hoping to harvest pretty soon, she’s not looking her best, however the buds themselves are still looking good, anyone have any tips for my next harvest and drying? Thanks! My last harvest and dry could’ve gone a lot better, is 48 hr darkness before harvest worth it? Drying in a tent on a 12/12 schedule, Any comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks and happy growing!✌️🍁
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Looking solid. Looking like the LST is going well! Props for that! I was too scared to continue after my first session so I quit for now lol planning to run the rest of my grow naturally.
Your humidity looks a little on the lower side but I don’t think 40 is bad. The only things that jump out at me are your nights are a lot cooler than your days. The only other things I would ask about is how frequently are you watering and to just triple check that the girls aren’t too hot under the lamp. 😊 looks like the new growth is going well other than the curling.
Pistils started showing up for me earlier than anticipated as well. Then they started growing insanely fast. I’m excited to see your next few weeks worth of progress pics. 😍
Cheers!
@Michigrown, yeah it’s a great feeling, looking forward to seeing your next grows👌 Yeah I love seeing them progress, this lockdown has me checking them multiple times a day😂
Yeah the dam extractor sounds like a jumbo jet at night when there’s nothing else going on🤣 Haha that’s lucky to get the climate right with out having to have a fan✌️ Yes thank you I hope so! Stay safe!
Yeah i do the same thing, I try to focus on comparing the differences in all the small details rather than the size difference in the plants, haha thank you😁 I enjoy connecting with people on here too, I don’t discuss my Little garden with anyone I know😁
Thank you you too✌️🍁
@Ema26, couldn’t said it better myself. I’m finding so many different plant grow variations it’s all so interesting, and I’m stoked to get my next grows started with all I’ve learned under my belt. It’s so cool seeing them pop up, get bushy and grow bigger every day. Agree, I always talk to myself trying to see if I can’t work through some things myself, and reaffirm my discussion with what I see from others.
That’s fair and understandable as to why you wouldn’t want to have lights on at night. I don’t have a fan going so my tent is fairly quiet and it’s pretty far away from where I sleep so I doubt I’d hear it. Yeah, this lock down is rough, but hopefully it passes soon and your girls bounce back super strong. 💪💪💪
Agreed all the diaries I follow I compare to my progress give or take a week or so since there’s so much variation. Just means I read more diaries and get to know fine folks such as yourself. 😁
Happy growing m8 and I hope the Cannagods smile bright on your grow. ✌️
@Michigrown, that’s good practice, I love to give advice where I feel i can pass knowledge but you should never go with what just one person says, and you’ll start to build your own play book from multiple opinions, I see it as a never ending discussion with yourself about what is right and wrong🤣 You should get more plants on the go and you’ll soon turn that research into evidence😉 you’re welcome! I saw that in your diary, but like I said before, once you’ve watched her grow naturally you’ll soon have the confidence to bend her where you want👌 It definitely won’t be your last, I finished one and now I have 6🤣 very addictive😁
Yeah I’m spraying as much as I can so hopefully it’s enough🙏 Yeah it is very interesting, I also find it interesting the difference between plastic and fabric pots, the blue dream being the only one in plastic and the only plant having problems, I’ve also only had negative experiences in plastic pots but perhaps it’s just me😅 I’ve had one running for a while with no problems so I adjusted it earlier on making it run hotter when lights go off. I wanted to run lights on at night but the extraction and fans are just too loud🤣 damn that’s lucky you got it! thankfully I had things around the house I could use, this lock down is preventing a lot of easy fixes in the tent. I mean its just so unsatisfying to see the curling leaves🤣
That is very interesting, so your diary is actually a little younger than it seems making it more impressive✌️ Mines starting to pump a few more now so I’m hoping the stretch hits her hard, I gave her even more lst today, I’ll add more pictures tomorrow. I found its best to never compare things directly day by day to others peoples grows as there’s just so many variants.
Thanks!✌️
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and have the growing ganja gods protect your women until the growth is complete.
No info regarding feeding strength and the pics are yellow tinted so its hard to judge the plants look. Most probably a little over feeding, your plants been so young and all.
@@Athos, there’s been no feeding what so ever. The only thing she’s got is easy boost in the medium which is supposed to carry for 12 weeks. Been given plain water since day 1.
@Green_Dream, thanks👌 I was starting to think that and try topping on one of my fems instead. Lst is definitely happening this time round, can’t be doing with another Xmas tree🤣
Good Luck with your grow! I’m starting my first grow of this strain and I just passed my second week from planting. Hopefully we can bounce ideas off each other as things progress. Cheers!
I just harvested a Blue Dream'Matic which was a massive yielder, it's a really good strain! Everything looking nice so far with the germinating, happy growing! 👍🌱
Hey dude, i just finished up week 10 that I’m about to write about and in week 11 currently. Been itching to harvest due to the awesome smell and stickiness, but my trichomes are still majority clear and glassy even on the main cola. They’re just starting to cloud up now Since I’m checking every day, so I’m thinking this weekend to end week 11 and if not definitely end of week 12 should be cutting time for me as a data point.
Also looks like you’re buds are still growing white hairs. Mine are majority dark orange now and the trichomes are still pretty clear I’d say you have another two weeks or so. Good luck they’re looking great 👍
Looking very good. Not trying to knock you down but your nitro is a bit high. This will lower your yield but don't worry.. Not a whole lot you can do now.
@Ema26, Your reasoning sounds pretty sound to me... I would also just try to correct for next time. It's gonna keep on growing and any mitigation might encourage deficiency which is kind of solving one problem and creating another one.
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, hello my friend, thankyou for your advice! I used RQS easy boost for this grow, a dry amendment you mix with the medium before planting and nitro has been up and down throughout the whole grow, I felt it’s out of my hands as flushing would just encourage the dry particles to continue to release nuts, or would this still be removing salts etc buildups and prevent high nitro? Perhaps I should add less to my medium next time round.
