I thought it might be a good practice to start a thread per strain. I've got a Blue Dream in late veg for my first indoor grow and I'll probably start a few other threads for the other varieties upcoming. Anyone have any Blue Dream tips, pics, or tricks they wanna share?

Is the blue dream from seed or clone? I grew Loud Seeds Loud Dreams for over as year and loved it. Actually got about another 2 weeks of trimming up this years outdoor run of her. Spear shaped cones of goodness is what they are! Energetic high that makes a day fly by. The two phenos I had were one on the berry side and one on the have side. Both were medium to heavy feeders 2-3x stretch in flower. It looks done in 9 weeks but give her the extra week you will be glad ya did. Here are a few of my pictures from outdoors gorilla grow this year, Don't mind the leaf spot disease, The late summer rains were a killer this year! Even with the leafspot she yielded us over 50lbs off 45 plants! Sorry bout the upside down pics. Even when I rotated them beforehand they uploaded upside down

Hey Mr.Doe - I grew one outdoors this year that I've really enjoyed, I had it and a Head Band in wine barrel halves and just wish that I had gotten them planted a little earlier and that my back deck saw another few hours of sun each day.

As a newer grower with not a lot of experience with different strains I find myself critiquing those that I do have and wondering about the subtle differences; "Is this normal to this strain?", "Does this plant have a deficiency?", "Are these leaves supposed to be as big as my hand!?" LOL.

I'm a data hog, I've started an Excel spreadsheet log with graphs and such and over time and through experimentation I'll learn the subtle differences in appetites and environmental conditions I'm sure, but in the meantime I haven't really found a site that offers strain specific growing information like there are sites on strain specific effects.

Thanks for sharing the pics and ya WTF is the deal with the rotation? I haven't uploaded pics yet, but is there some kind of auto-rotation option that has taken over trying to outwit you?? ...I'll try with an image of my humble little garden.

As I go to flower with each I'm thinking I'll post a summary log every 2-3 days and see how people respond. I've got the Blue Dream that is just waiting on me to set up the flower room and then an EGK (Early Girl Kush), a Cotton Candy, and a Hindu Kush in veg as well.

As my babies move in to veg I may do the same with those and kind of track along and show pics as I go.

...until next time..

I have just put some blue dream seeds into paper towel. I'm in the southern hemisphere. I was wondering how many months blue dream needs to be fully matured and ready to cut down? Any ideas? I heard also that blue dream is a thirsty girl and needs twice the amount of water to other strains. Is that true? I'm going to be growing outdoors. Summer starts in December for us here. Santa likes to surf in shorts. Thanks for your advice/comments.

Hey boobman,

Growing (veg/flower) durations I don't have yet, this is the first time I've grown it indoors. My veg stage has ran long because I cut the clone a little late, the plant had started in to flower, so it took a few weeks to get it to transition back to veg. I had not started my log yet at that point either, but I think that I cut that clone in August. It needs to be going to flower, I just haven't got the space quite yet.

In regards to being thirsty you heard right. For me that came on pretty quickly, I was watering every 3 or 4 days and feeding at every other watering, now I'm watering every two days, if I go three she's panting pretty hard.

Don't give up on me! I STILL haven't moved my Blue Dream to flower, primarily due to space, but that situation is quickly getting rectified. This Old Lady is going to take up my whole tent and I've got two others ready as it is! AHhh!

Hi DistilledGro and boobman, I've grown the Humboldt Seeds Blue Dream since around late winter of 2013, mostly inside, but four cuttings outside this summer. The outside ones were in real sandy soil and required some feeding, I used mostly fish emulsion and liquid seaweed- they went in late, about June 1st, were well ripened by about Oct. 10. Excellent results. But most of my experience with them is inside where I don't use any fertilizer but instead use soil with organic fertilizer in it. They did real well with 10 parts pro-mix hp to 3 parts ocean Forest to 1 part SuperSoil. Never noticed them being real thirsty, though my technique for all cannabis plants is to let them go a bit short of wilting then watering thoroughly. If it is real hot and dry, they can get spidermites, funny the outside ones did not get them but the last inside crop - harvested in August, got some about two weeks before harvest. I veg the clones varying times, anywhere from 4 weeks in veg after they're rooted to as much as 10 weeks, always potting up when roots are crowded. Areal nice functional, feel good head-high, helps with pain and has a relaxing ending. Good luck, all in all, a pretty easy one to grow.

Just ordered HSO Blue Dream because of all the buzz on the buzz (and that it is a heavy yielder)... I tried it up around DC years ago and was not impressed but I was/am unskilled in BD and no clue to "which" one it was or even if it was..... **********, here and various reviews about the internets lead me to HSO so that is what I sent away for along with their ver. of Green Crack.

Mystificated.

I have been both impressed and let down with different cuts of blue dream. When i first started smoking the stuff it was dark green and almost purple/blue hue with a very blueberry look and a hazeish taste. Now i see blue dream it looks like a typical watered down haze with nice blue undertones. Not much of a high.

I think it really comes down to which cut you have.

I grew Humbolts blue dream last summer outdoors, was about a 10 week strain and plants yielded well. The quality was not exceptional though, maybe at the bottom end of headies or top end commercial.
