Blue Dream

[jsgrwn]

i do everything the same except i top and lollipop a week b4 i put them in 12/12 and i put them in flower around ten to 12 inches tall and im in 2 gallon pots of canna coco, growing s.o.g.
they usually finish 3 feet or under.

r you going heavy on nutes or light? what line of nutes are you using. i found it will be fairly happy with both low or high ec,... the plant looks a bit happier when u use a low ec but yields are better when you go higher.
you said you did some experimenting, do you have any opinion on blue dreams EC / PH preferance ?

as far as nutes go...i go heavy most of the time and give them 3-4 day breaks...this gives them time to soak up what i have given them. i use ocean forest soil (loaded with nutes) and cutting edge solutions 5 part system. great nutes. did just as well as the advanced nutes i used to use. and they are way cheaper.

How are you sure its Blue dream that your growing? Blue Dream stretches to at least 3 times the size it was when induced, takes 9-10 weeks to finish and has very long narrow fan leaves. Cannabible3 states that yields can be as large as 2lbs per 1K HPS. And the herb is exquisite. Here is my blue dream at about 18 days in. Resin all over the place. My camera isnt very good at capturing glistening trichomes so enlarge the picture so that you can see it full size to really judge it.

I bought 2 clones from a scaramento med club. made a donor plant out of one and flowered the other.

i know it is blue dream because you can spot the stuff a mile away, and the smell is unmistakable...just as you described. but i am also a rather experienced grower, and honestly it is not hard to control upward growth, and yes at least 9 weeks to finish.

cutting edge are good nutes...

7 gram blue dream...

 

[LacyLePlant]

maybe i will post a pic of a few nugs... but any attorney would tell you its a bad idea... and that it is why i dont do journals/pics.

words are one thing but words with pictures are a whole different story... they call it collaborating evidence

i admit, i like it when people post pics, but i feel more comfortable not being one of those people.

RIU servers are on US soil and that's another bad thing.



most likely medical patients would be the last ones to be looked into, but i still dont want to put what i got going at risk.

Ha! i was looking for pics, no wonder i couldnt find any of your blue dream pics!

 

[jberry]

yea, i posted the one bud thinking it couldnt really hurt anything... maybe i'll post a pic of a leaf for you to compare to yours lol.

 

[Hulk Nugs]

Hell yea .... i am joining the club Blue Dream is on top of my Sativa Hybrid list. Been working on getting my rooms together almost done and now looking for my little ones ............found Blue Dream Haze clones but not just Blue Dream. Also another strain i recently tried was Twisted Sister dam dam talk about bring me back to when i took my first hit of Blue Dream was trying to find clones for TS but no luck these clone only strains are a pain to find. I am subscribed and will be back to post a link to my grow if i can find BD OR BDH.

Oh Jberry grrr get a better lawyer that will let you post pics and make journals

Any info on blue dream cuttings? Ive got a vigourous mother that grows like crazy. That trait must have been passed on to the clones because they would rather grow than root. Checked them after 10 days and no roots. after 14 days pulled them out of the oasis, redipped them and put them in with my 6 new cuttings I took.

Never ever in almost 2 years of cloning have I had a strain that simply would not root.

Told my homie at the hydro store and he told me to add a small dose of bloom nutrient and a root stimulator, (had some root juice laying around) to my concoction of hygrozyme and clonex solution to my standing water. Also bought a heat mat, hope that helps. Never used one before but dude told me I needed one.

This is just my luck though to finally have a favorite strain and I cant take cuttings of it. HELP!

 

[anhedonia]

Heres some blue dream at 5 weeks. 30 more days. And the sweet berry smell is very prevalent.

i dont know if adding more nutes is the solution.... You shouldnt need 3-4 products to root your clones. I would try using less, and i wouldnt let my ppm's get over 600.

I root mine in a ez-clone 120, i use tap water (r/o didnt work well for me) my water temps stay around 78-80, i start the clonex solution at half strength and i add some more clonex with a few gallons of fresh water after 1 week, and i rough up the edges with a razor blade WHEN I FIRST TAKE THE CUTTING... One time i didnt rough the edges and almost all of them failed.

Mine usually start to root in around 7-10 days and all 120 are finished by day 15... But, my white berrys root in as little as five days, so yea, i would say the blue dream is a little more stubborn.

Oh, and as soon as they pop a few roots, i like to add a rhizotonic or roots exelerator to the ez-cloner ... This really makes them just explode !!! (the reason i only use clonex at half strength or so, is because i want to leave some room for the roots exel. Once they get roots)

 

[anhedonia]

You know, I didnt understand that either. Ive heard of adding bloom to an aero unit after roots show, but before? But Ive also heard that clonex, and all those other nutes help them off to a better start, or more likely to grow roots. This is my first time using all these other products so I really dont know what to expect.

Funny, Im also growing whiteberry and that strain loves the oasis. You should check out my perpetual. Got some dj short F-13 in there too, all blueberry crosses.

 

[jberry]

CLONEX SOLUTION IN MY OPINION IS NOT A VERY HIGH QUALITY NUTRIENT, AND THATS ANOTHER REASON WHY I TRY NOT TO USE VERY MUCH OF IT... IT SEEMS TO WORK, AND I HAVENT FOUND A CLEANER REPLACEMENT YET, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO.

I FOUND 2 GOOD PHENOS OUT OF TEN FEMINIZED WHITE BERRIE SEEDS.... THEY YIELD JUST AS WELL AS MY DREAM, BUT THE NUGS ON THE WHITE BERRY ARE ALL SMALL HARD ROCKS, AND MY DREAM PUTS OUT HUGE CLUNKERS.

I CANT DECIDE IF I WANT TO KEEP DOING THE wb OR NOT...

I JUST GOT SOME CHOCOLOPE SEEDS AND SOME SATIVA BLACKBERRY TOO, BUT I HAVENT STARTED THEM.
I LOVE THE BLUE FAMILY.... HOW ARE YOU LIKING THE F-13 ?

 

[anhedonia]

I only had enough money to buy one F-13 cutting and in about 2 weeks it'll be ready to clone then 4 weeks later Ill put it under. Growing very fast. Heres a couple specimens.

 

[jsgrwn]

^^^^^doesnt use rooting hormone anymore, not needed with the dream. and i almost never lose clones. just a spray bottle and some light.

 

[DontDoDrugs]

this stuff is great. super sticky, potent, and tastes awesome, kind of sweet/hazy and top bag appeal.. i need to buy some clones..

 

[anhedonia]

I have a blue dream cutting rooting right now in 50/50 perlite and this stuff called coconot, a coco coir alternative with no nutes in it. Very good aeration. Out of 8 cuttings that I took last week in oasis, 4 have died, most of them were cooked by the heating mat. The stems were all mushy and couldnt support the rest of the cutting. Ive never had this much trouble with clones.

Sorry to hear that... Have you used rockwool or rapid rooters???

 

[anhedonia]

Negative. Ivenever had a strain that wont root in the oasis. I heard rockwool is really tricky and rapid rooters Ive always passed up since oasis worked so well. I was looking around online and found this kit that came with everything you need to root a cutting except the cuttings and light. Very similar looking to rapid rooters. I guess I'll try with some rapid rooters. My bluedream mom looks like she'll have a good 12 clones to take by next week.

Im really hoping that my perlite/coconot clone roots. If it does I'll root them that way.

 

[veganjihad]

yo. im growing 24 beautiful blue dream ladies with a homemade bubbleponics setup. theyre only about 1 week in though, so not worthy of pics yet, but soon. i have a good feeling about these..

 

[jsteezy1290]

whats tricky about rockwool?

 

[bicycle racer]

rockwool sucks balls gets to wet ph fluctuates not for me i can clone in rockwool but choose not to. i simply use a mix of mostly perlite with a touch of vermiculite it cant get to wet is ph neautral and is my medium of choice for veg and flower so a win win for me.
