@Bbcchance there is quite a difference in your posts in comparison to @bravedave

its dark because of the strain, its fluffy because of the lights, for what you had youve done amazing, hard to keep a blue dream under 24" tall.. Welcome to riu, my advice, keep reading, and only take advice from people who have first hand knowledge and pictures to back up their claims
there was a point in this thread that you actually made a comment in regards to the OP's post, on the contrary I can't find a single comment direct towards the OP's grow from the other said RIU member. No issue with those who call it like they see it if they have the experience to do it. However, to come on a thread and not post anything constructive what so ever in regards to the OP's post, but rather bash on someone for trying to give advice as.

Furthermore, you questioned the post about the blurple led and the experience, rather then making sideways, rude comments.

At this point out of respect for OP I will be removing myself from this thread, as he was asking for advice, and it seems people would rather troll then give any type of actually suggestion in regards to the question the OP posed.

Good luck with your grows @ShinKicker and again, my apologize for the way this thread as steered away from it's original purpose.

The point in my advice was simply to say stop telling people to run out and buy blurple lights until you have had some results with them, they do not work as well as other types of lighting in my experience, for the money you spend on them you can buy hid(a proven producer), if you can't control the heat on hid, then there are some awesome diy cob options and t5 solutions that will give far better returns on investment than Chinese blurple tech, just trying to keep others from having HUNDREDS of dollars hanging in their garage to veg with when they could have just used to 8ft florescent tubes that were already there, if that makes me a hater than cool I'll hate on, please disregaurd anything I've said previously and continue to do whatever it is you want to do:peace:
Have you used the Chinese blurple lights lol, some work just do your research before buying ....hid is a proven producer but it's old tech that not as efficient as led and cost a lot more to run and maintenance then cheap Chinese led , you can find good led light for cheaper than most hid setups nowadays and the savings from not having to run as much equipment to control temps and replace bulbs is a plus...from my experience Chinese blurple has given me better quality meds and lower cost ..just my experience not saying it would work that way for everyone

She is a very pretty gal, nice frost good amount of bud sites, if it works for you keep doing what you are doing, but in my experience I've have ran the same strains under both lighting, while my hps and cooling did cost twice as much, I also yielded twice as much, so the point of cheaper for led may be true for a per plant comparison twice the cost for twice the yield is a push on price in my book, also didn't notice the huge difference in potency that I heard about, just what I've seen, I'm sure if your hid lighting run would have given you the same results you would have stuck with it

Almost forgot...looking at your posts in this thread it appears at no time did you even offer a suggestion in regards to the OP's post, however each comment you posted had sometime of sideways insulting demeanor towards those who were trying to help. If you don't want first timers giving advice, then maybe yourself as a "more veteran grower" should try giving advice rather then just being a "hater" as you put it.
First, your advice was a whole lot of nothingness except where you suggest garnering your advice from more seasoned growers. You know, much like I suggested.

Second, the advice you are trying to defend was BS and did NOT address any problem nor the question asked. Yes, it was fairly harmless and while just recognizing the light being used was different than his was hardly a revelation.

Third, i didn't add more advice because I felt others answers were handling it fine and felt the bigger need of thwarting BS of a couple different kinds was needed more. What did you add except the elementary and reiterating what others already said. My God, you should write a book.

Lastly, Fruitspirit responded just fine and didn't need your help. Happy Mothers day.

I would get yourself some LED lights for her! There about $90 each and do the trick. They do look very green which like peeps have said maybe too much nitrogen. I had to much nitrogen so adapted my notes and she came back a lighter shade. This is my first grow 5th week in flower :

I am also growing Blue dream. I am using a 1000 watt hps for veg and flower. I don't have a lot of room so I went with a scrog. I am in day 16 of flower. Hoping for a nice harvest.

This is beyond pattern now. Somebody asks a question >>> 90% respond/derail off topic. #new forum.

Well, looks like in all that mess you got your answer op, good luck.
