how much do u think u are gonna yield off of that plant?

Don't know. Whatever it yields it yields.

Its looking like about 4zips.

Buds are rock hard so I'm keeping an eye on my RH at present to see whether I need to break out the dehumidifier.

i would all ways advice on cool hoods,not tubes tubes lose too many lumans but sometimes its the only way .eg loft space with v roof.


In the grow above there is room for another 600 in there with a double tube that will increase the yeild a lot

Hey guys hows it going. The site was acting weird yesterday. Something about a mal ware.... who knows.. any ways here is an update for yesterday. I noticed a small deficiency appearing on two leaves on two of the plants. Seems like a cal mag issue. Definitely nothing serious. As an extra precaution I am flushing all of them with R O water over the next three days. I would do it all at once but the RO only puts out so much water in one day. I will be flowering in one week so i think it is better to worry about flushing now rather than in flower when i could put extra stress on the plants. Comments and Suggestions greatly appreciated. Have a nice weekend.

Build a scrog table out of polli tubeing train them so they fill the whole screen,that way more light will get through the dence foilage and the plants will have far more tops

Here's a shot of mine at day 50.

Blue dream HSO.

I mainlined for 4 heads so there are 4 colas like the one pictured along with a couple of secondaries.

She will be flowered for as long as she needs to in order to be ripe.

I have no set day.

As I don't over feed, I don't flush.

I reduce my nutrient strength towards the tail end of flowering as the plants demand for nutes becomes less and less as senescence approaches.

My bad. Plants pictured at day 50 were actually day 43 of 12.12.

Sorry for the confusion but it just goes to show that I don't really pay attention to flowering days.

Its ready when its ready.

im just sat ere waitig for jondamons
"i get 400 grammes from 400 hps" bullshit comments LOL

Whatever ICE.

I've documented it plenty of times with various strains.

Last 3 grows documented on here with weight pictures was last
379g
Time before 427g
Time before that 439g.

The deminish was due to the lamp needing replacement as I was vegging with it too.

Ive grown blue dream lots of times ive done emergency harvests at 49 days and it came out ok ive chopped at 56 and came out ok but i always liked it a 60-65 days ,at 70 it would start to really amber up on tops (it was the clone only dream)

i have seen a lot of videos of people with the HSO blue dream and they have usually harvested around day 65-75. i am going to get the magnifying glass tho so i can tell by the trichs. i will keep you guys updated. more pics to come soon.

hey guys hows it going. the blue dream is on day 54 of flowering. The tops of the plants seem to be a lot more mature than the buds on the bottom. there is also a lot of popcorn. this strain stretched alot when i switched it to flower and i got really bad internode spacing. i have just started flushing with ph balanced RO water. I am think i will yield a pound off of these 4 plants which is pretty mediocre for a 1000 watt 4x4 grow. maybe more maybe less. i am attributing the excessive stretch to the fact that i fed veg nutirents for the first 3 weeks of 12/12. Next time time i am going to too give bloom nutes right the beginning as well as control the day night temps a bit better and also use metal halide for the first two weeks. Do you guys think that that will reduce the strecth next time? Here are some pics. I am going to also ugrade to a better camera when money allows it. the quality of this strain is great tho. i will just have to more lollipopping, pruning and supercropping next time to boost my yield.

I feed a 5-4-3 from start to finish in my coco.

I used to use a 6-3-8 but had issues with too much K causing Ca uptake problems.

Too much veg nutes (as long as N isn't massively high +10%) then it wouldn't increase stretch.

My own HSO BLUE DREAM has barely stretched at all.

My 6 weeks veg and so far 59 days of flowering has produced an 18" tall plant looking to have around 4oz on her under 400w.

Sounds like you have the more sativa leaning pheno.

IMO if you want to limit stretch you need to feed quite aggressively during the stretch transition as this is where the plants go into overdrive.

After stretching occurs I generally back off slightly on my nutrient strength.

I'm gonna try and quick link some pics.

Here's some shots of mine.

jondamon. i think you are right. i was feeding them at 1.2 ec during the stretch and they were eating everything. my runnoff was 300 ppms. i was also feeding them 9-3-6 during the stretch. your buds look great man. however i had 4 different phenotype all of which stretched so i am pretty sure it was caused by the feeding.
