I have flowered out Blue Dragon once. I also have 20 more clones coming in a couple of days. The look of the buds growing is pretty strange. Like other varieties, it starts with white hairs. Before the buds get very big, the hairs turn dark. I am talking at like week 4. Obviously not mature yet, the buds get bigger and bigger through week 9. I found mine were ripe at week 10. Very easy to harvest with very little sugar leaves. Once cured, the smell is ridiculous. Very yummy. I found that it did not hit me as hard as some strains, but the look and flavor more than made up for it. Sorry I did not take any pictures of the plant growing, but I will on this next go around and get them uploaded.
