So i will try and start this journal over so you can better see the progress. I am usuing 3 1000 watt hps hoods, 10x10 secret jardin tent, 1 8" vortex pushing air in and one pulling threw the lights and carbon filter to cool the room and help rid the smell so the neighbors wont know
I have a air conditioner / heater so i can better control my temps. my temps stay between 68-85 i also have a dehumidifier so my humidity stays between 45-60. i am usuing 1 4x8 tray ( i have 28 girls in it) 1 4x4 ( i have 12 girls in it) tray to put my 3 gal soiless pots in. i am usuing roots organics soiless mix with worm castings, and peralite mixed in. general hydrophonics general organics line of nutes, I am top feeding my girls everyday ( the soiless mix doesnt hold alot of water) i feed nutes every day.
So here is my story so far I started my 1st grow I had some problems in the begining because i got my babies from a guy who had spidermites. soooo i had to use alot of azamax and neem oil, i lost a few....and stunted a few so they are not all the same size
i vegged them for 3 weeks then flushed the grow nutes out. gave them 36hrs darkness then started on bloom cycle 12/12 w/ bloom nutes
start of veg height blackberry kush (bbk) 7" and purp punch (pp) 10" end of veg height bbk 18-24 and pp 18 (small strain)
I have trimmed up my girls several times. Cut some fan leaves for better light penetration.
This is my first time growing anything besides a weed lol
durring this process i am also making moms and babies ( or learning to clone) I started this with just reading 2 books by jorge cervantes then alot of reading up on the internet. Then i found this site and started asking alot more questions
I have learned alot but not everything

So i am going to try to add some photos from start to now at 1 month flower.

So here we are at week 5 i dont see much difference......... ive dropped the temps to 68 at night and they are still not turning purple. So i went to the hydro shop today and bought some purple maxx we will see if it works it says its really good for crystal production and ive heard good reviews about it so ill give it a try. The purple punch are at week 5 of 8 week flower and still no real crystals like the bbk or the bd they are just so frosty. Sorry about the pics i really dont know how to take a pic without my lights on. The bbk is also at week 5 but of a 8-9 week flower. and the bd well its a 10week so i kinda messes up on that one ill have to have my lights on with only 2 plants for atleast 1 to 2 weeks lol 
here are a few pics to enjoy.
PS......... YOU CAN POST IF YOU LIKE I CAN ERASE EM IF IT GETS TO CROWDED

So i found out a few days ago maybe i wasnt watering enough...... i am usuing roots soiless and i knew it was drying out by each watering time and i had yellowing leaves. so i started to water now every 12 hrs. It seams to be helping the yellowing and they stay moist now all day and night. Looking to do a drip system next time top watering is hard to do 2 times a day and have a life lol 2 more days ill be at 6 weeks of 7-8 pp and 8-9 bbk bd 10 weeks so i know they are not ready. but the pp still not alot of trichs???? still 75% white hairs so i dont think it will be the 7 weeks. the bbk is about 50% amber hairs and super frosty trichs are still clear. and bd mostly white hairs trichs clear. but none of them seam to have a super strong smell i know i have a lot of air flow and a big scrubber in my room. so maybe thats why. i guess im just getting worried now sense this is my first grow. I am doing all organic and from what i read i dont have to flush but i am going to do water and molasses the last 4 days or so. when i see most trichs turning amber????? I GUeSS lol. gonna make another newbie post about how to tell when done, how to trim dry and cure any imput is much appriciated also TY for reading my little blog!!

so here we are week 6 and i am discovering all kinds of new stuff. Like the bludream might be a 8 week strain ???? i am finding 2 different things so i will just keep an eye on them. And ive decided the way im growing now i am going to change some. !st im going to do less plants veg a week or so longer and trim up the bottom branches a few inches. Currently i did the less is more effect where i decided to trim up just enough to water and hoped id get more buds. well i think ive got more but some are just so small its not even worth the time to trim em (hash bound) so i will do another journal so we can see the differences in how much i can yeild gonna be same strain same genetics ( i have the mom) here are the differences this grow i have 4x8 tray with 28 plants and 2000 watts ( the smaller tray doesnt count because different strain but it is a 4x4 with 12 plants 1000 watts) and next grow im gonna do 24.... 4 less (1 row) of the same bbk so 12 plants per 1000 watts trim up like 6 " or so still no topping or fim etc (i didnt need to short strain) im going to use all the same nutes etc. and im adding a watering system, so tired of watering lol here are a few pics at 6 weeks
(so accidently added pics that are blurry cant seam to erase them sorry)

I dig your setup. it looks IDENTICAL to mine! (I have 3 4x4 flood trays with 1000 hps over each) Here are my thoughts. I am currently budding numerous blue dreams. I have been running a soilless mixture (botanicare aertion mix, and coco) in smart pots on the flood tables. I have every pot hooked up to drip lines. 3 stakes per pot. I drain all my nutrients to waste, and feed from my 50 gallon res. every 6 hours (4 times a day). I have found that "lolli-popping" my plants pushes all of that extra energy that goes to the lower branches, straight to the tops. I have a trellis set up, and i trim off all leaves, and branches that are not touching the trellis by week 2 1/2 of flowering. I find that the blue dream not only vegg's SUPER fast, but that the flower stretch is longer too, thus tying down to the trellis. BTW hydroponically, my blue dream reaches full maturity at 52-57 days.

peng ty +rep for you!!!! can you send me pics???? would love to see the girls
im only flowering 2 blue dreams and they started late only had 1 week veg and are as tall as the others which had a longer veg so i can assume its a tall one my mommie is 4 ft and veggin? for 2 months not sure if you call it veggin when its the moms ??? and i just topped her last night she is only like ft 1/2 arround all the way up not much to even take from her yet. (havent taken from her yet) her sisters are flowering. so i am 6 weeks and all the hairs are white you think they will finish in the 50s? ill deffinatly keep an eye on them because if you go to strain reviews it says 10 weeks flowering.
