they have put on some weight,but i dont mind these girls being fat at all
so right on the climate, but i do like a challange keeps me moving and thinking.

What do you think the Harvest will bring??Wanted to guess the weight/harvest of each plant and total, see how close i can get. Shouldnt be to hard since its not a big grow.
Been thinking and this is what i came up with
hopefully dry wieght.A.11g B.13g C.8g D.14g Total = 46
under two oz
Height:
A - 16.5'' B - 18'' C - 12.5'' D - 19.5''
Lights 14'' above plants
Bud Thickness approximately:
A-3 B-3.5 C-2.5 D-3.5

Hell yeah hulk. They look good man. I would say you are pretty close with your estimate. I think you might have gone under a couple grams. And don't stress the weight... my purple kush's only got me around 2 oz... but that was such good smoke. Let's hope this is some of the best blue dream you've ever tried.
Sucks about the temps. Can you draw air from lower in the room?
Looking forward to the finihsed product. Before you chop them... get a picture in some MH light or something. I want to see what they look like not in the orange.
Keep it up bro.

Yea i went low ball on the numbers so if i get higher then i will be happy.Hell yeah hulk. They look good man. I would say you are pretty close with your estimate.

But homemade grown blue dream shit man i think i will be in love cant wait to try some.
Right now i am pulling air from the lowest point in the room and the intake temp does not go above 70. So might close everything off and just do a seal room with ac and co2 but will be waiting on changing anything around for awhile.
Yea pics suck, but there something. I dont like how they turn out, i try with just some work lights i have but they dont shine down there bright enough for good pics. I tried getting pics right when lights turn on(mh is always bright right away, takes a few minutes for the hps to warm up) they still dont turn out that great. Has to be the camera i am using.
Will be taking the girls out into some good light for the harvest/trim so they should be the best pics of the whole grow.

my bagseed was 3/4 of an oz ........ and your colas r way bigger

that would be nice but i dont think so,
Plant C is not to big so i will be lucky if i get more then 8 out of her.
The other three look nice and give me a good judge on what can be done next time.
I have about another 8 inchs of spare room above the plants, so i can veg them longer next time, hopefully more nobes and try and keep them tight should give me some bigger colas.
Its all about dialing it in.
It's late here, and I've just now found the thread - so, unfortunately, it'll be a day or two before I can kick back and enjoy the entire thing.
But I've got to ask: How in the world did these Blue Dream end up with so little branching, stemming, and stretching? I've never seen this type of growth with the BD, no matter how short the veg time.

Hulk, Just read the whole thread and must say I am impressed. I love it when you can see someone has done all the research and taken the time to do it right. We have very similar ops. +rep for sure.
I have a few suggestions:
You say input and output temps, but no plant level temp. This should be the temp you are concerned with. The air at the top of any room is higher than than plant level. I beleive you said you were using a diy cool tube, and 1 is only 4" dia? I did diy 5" and temps were high. I bought a commercial 6 1/2' cool tube and temps decreased significantly. Also you would be amazed at what a couple extra square feet can do for high temps. Make sure you consider these options before A/C. Also, i see you have the larger fan as intake and smaller as exhaust, It might work better pullin that hot air out faster. Couldn't hurt to swap and try. You can also run ducting from your exaust to somewhere close to your lights to try to pull the heat off of them. But I bet plant level temps are pretty good if your exaust is 90. You questioned using co2 early in the thread, and I wanted to give my advice. That would be co2 only during flower and only with lights off. Plants can only transpire so much co2. It is in direct correlation to plant size, and growth rate. The recommendation i was given is to apply co2 at same level as nutes. Therefore, during veg when nutes are 200-800, no co2 is necessary. Once fowerin ppm's are more like 1000 so supplemental co2 is beneficial. Try to do whatever you can to cheaply get those temps a lil lower. 86 is optimal when using co2. It would also be helpful to not have to suck that co2 right out of the room with the exaust running all the time. Seal it up, and lower temps youd be explodin!!!Maybe watch the tops of your plants, if they seem to be gettin crunchy try raising the light. Thats an enormous amount of light for two lil girls. Hope this helps!! Stop back and check my girls out. I'm only day 5 flower, I vegged a bit longer than you, and tied them down, scrog style to prevent a height problem. Looks like you could do the same if your lookin for bigger yield.
Peace!!

I will be by to check out your grow thanks for all the info man gave me some good ideas.Hulk, Just read the whole thread and must say I am impressed. I love it when you can see someone has done all the research and taken the time to do it right. We have very similar ops. +rep for sure.
I have a few suggestions:
You say input and output temps, but no plant level temp. This should be the temp you are concerned with. When i talk about temps i am talking about the Plants level. The top of the room gets way above 100 lmao, and the intake stats below 70
I beleive you said you were using a diy cool tube, and 1 is only 4" dia? I did diy 5" and temps were high. I bought a commercial 6 1/2' cool tube and temps decreased significantly. Also you would be amazed at what a couple extra square feet can do for high temps. Make sure you consider these options before A/C. I found a nice light fixture i am trying to talk my self out haha then back into buying it would help. and if i make the room bigger i would do a few test runs before adding the A/C might not even need it.
Also, i see you have the larger fan as intake and smaller as exhaust, It might work better pullin that hot air out faster. Couldn't hurt to swap and try. The intake fan is just a hydrofarm duc booster 188cfm, it has more cfm but the fan is not better then the canfan 155cfm.

Was told they are Oaksterdam BD clones but now a days we just have to trust people we are getting the right info. they did have all the other oak cuts though.
I cut all the branches 14 days into flowering!!
Keeping the lights low they were never more then a foot away from the tops of the colas
They did jump up in size if you take a look at the Aging pics permalink

yo hulk i was just looking at the print of your flower room and u deff have enough fans lol. ? r all the exhaust fans blowing n the same direction ?

hmm not to sure what you mean,
all my cooltube fans blow in the same dirrection out, my outtake fan is hooked up to another ducing line that blows out
my intake fan and air circulating fan blow torwards the grow table

so its pulling air from the sound control box "blue lines" threw the lights and out the "red lines " threw filter and out of the room im sure theyr just trying 2 help u with your temps lol

i will take all the help i can get man thanks
nah the lights are not hooked up to the sound control box the ducing just goes under the box to the outside fresh air
so after this grow i might just buy a light fixture and not deal with this diy light setup hook up the canfan to it do some test runs see where i am at with that.

yeah your blue dreams almost done anyway dont wanna mess things up this late n the game
ull like the air cooled reflector i had 2 up grade also got my yieldmaster 2 for $120

Hulk: First of all, let me say, you've done an excellent job with what you've had available. I can tell you're determined, resourceful, and constantly looking to make a better grow. You are way ahead of many growers. :respect:
As far as this particular grow, I think that you were given something other than Blue Dream - if I could see a bit closer, maybe then I could take a guess at the strain. OR, more likely, you were sold clones that had their hormones fucked up (I've had it happen myself, more than once). My experience with the Blue Dream has been that she'll grow (stretch) like a mofo, even when she's placed immediately into flowering, and even when the light is kept very close from the very first day.
In any case, it looks like you're going to get some seriously good nugs from your grow, so it's been successful, for sure.
**Also, let me ask: How are the clones you took earlier?**

Appreciated the kinds words man, always nice to hear.
Yea i would not doubt the place i got them from mixed them up or was just trying to sell what they had so renamed them,...... grrrr
Pics suck right now, cant seem to take any really good pics with the lights in there and the camera i use. Keep checking back for the harvest pics they should be the best view of them,
i really cant wait to see for my self what they look like in good light.as for the clones sad to say they are all dead
, i did not set the timer right for the aero cloner so they went with out water and my temps where up in the 90s in the room, that's all taken care of now kinda
