Blue dream, long and very thin bud development

organicdoctor said:

Hi fellow growers,

Im currently growing Humboldts Blue dream and Green crack and theyre in 50L pots with organic soil from Biobiz, did not give any kind of nutrients yet until yesterday because they were almost burning after repotting from only the soil. I have growed sativas like g13 haze before but never saw such long and skinny bud development like this blue dream before and want to check with you if that is normal. The green crack looks more normal but its also more skunk in these buds, but the blue dream looks like a pure sativa almost with these thin and long bud development. What do you guys think, that it will fatten up later or i did something wrong on the way? Please tell me what you think of it. Im afraid i will have a very poor yield and im using 2 600w hps

Sorry for the poor images, its hard to take proper ones of the bushes in the hps light but here they come.

Insufficient lumens:when you see veg leaf with only 3 tips light it's insufficient ... Lamp to high or old bulb or bad quality bulb.
I see also overfertilized plants:too N blocks the flowering

The number of blades on leaves correlates directly with the plants flowering cycle. As a plant grows from seed in veg mode, the number of blades goes up from 1 to 3 5 7 9 etc...when you start to flower the number of blades per leaf goes down from 9 7 5 3 etc as the plant goes through flowering stretch and bud formation

Plants are looking great. The dna of Blue Dream is very complex, but there is Super silver haze in there, which can express itself as a long flowering, tall thin blade plant. Your buds look like they will develop fine, you will just have to be a bit more patient but my guess is those colas of blue dream will be really quality weed, just a bit longer flowering time and they look like they will get even taller. But dont let it get you down, they look right on cue so far.

pic 3 and 4 are at the ceiling by the looks of things. It seems these girls haven't been topped/fimed, redirecting the energy laterally. Extremely hard to grow a Sat dom plant that has traits >78" and a stretch between 100-200% to fit a 72' tent without LST or scroging.

Thanks for the positive comment, i hope youre right, and for sure it will be world class flowers, it alredy smells like a tangy mango mixed with some sour fruit candy

Its the first time i grow these strains, if i do it again i will be more prepared for sure of how they behave, maybe i take a clone from the best blue dream and the best and strongest green crack aswell

How big is your tent? 15gal is a lot of pot for indoors.
