Blue Dream In ProMix From Seed, August 2016

[4Dutchess]

Not sure about Frizz. She has skills!! Science teacher too! I want to ask her why my dry ice dosent store in the freezer but will in an ice chest wrapped in a towel?? That dosent make sense. Im thinking the freezer at the store must be WAY colder than mine. I hope shes ok. I remember she was worried about being legal with her job maybe? She was a new grower with the skills of a Vet!!!
Monsignor I do see slight Amber!!! Maybe time to flush?? Do you have a clip on microscope for your phone for the tric pics?? I need to get. Im starting flush at any hint of Amber except if the breeder says different.
Great Day!

 

[Monsignor]

I'm going to keep going because I'm only at the very beginning of week 6 and I haven't even given it any koolbloom dry yet :-/ Since it's 60 sativa I think it will be okay to round it out a bit if it gets some extra amber. What's weird to me is that the rest (including the stalks of the amber heads) look crystal clear.

Figure a 10 week plant? My B.Dream hybreds seem like 10 weeks is good. I let it all go a long time last grow. 10-12 weeks for the tent and I started the yard harvest 10/12. Your plants look great!!! Allot like my SHY which Im guessing is B.Dream and Train wreck crossed. I need to go research lime. Great Day!
Heres my SHY That resembles yours?

Yes! I just hope mine ends up with the HEAVY like yours!!!!

I realized my problem here. I was looking at the trichomes on the sugar leaf which I JUST read last night mature way faster than on the bud due to getting damaged from blowing into each other. That makes sense.

I check trics on the buds but good info to know! Im glad you think it was heavy. I dont kinda. Im going to go pull out a jar of SHY and see what its like now. I cant get passed the S.Diesel I have! What fun Monsignor!!!!!! Great Day!!!! Lets burn real quick!

 

[Monsignor]

Here are some photos from the last day of week six. Two weeks to go! I started Koolbloom Dry yesterday. I took the picture next to the Bluelab Pen for before and after reference pictures. Let's see if she bulks.

Beautiful Buds Monsignor!!!! Very frosty!!!!

 

[Monsignor]

The buds are FROSTY!!! I LOVE this. Today finishes up Week 7!!! The Trichomes are nice and cloudy with some amber here and there. I will throw in some macro pictures of them in the next couple of days. I will be doing the first flush on Wednesday and again on Saturday. The following Wednesday morning I'm going to water again and HARVEST that night, Feb 22. I'm super stoked to be finishing up this journal and get my next journal going.

The next journal is going to be the same grow but with MarsHydro MARSII 1200 Led Grow Light Full Spectrum High Penetration Led Grow Lamps. I will have two in the room as well has 3 plants, staggered 3 weeks apart for perpetual production. It's going to be worth the read and I've engineered some PVC carts that carry the hanging smart pots that will be worth the look as well.

Enough of that... Enjoy some eye candy:

Great Day Monsignor!!!!

Are you thinking I should give it another feeding and see where we stand?

 

[4Dutchess]

If you just finished up week 7 and if the breeder says 8 weeks Id flush. Even if its a 10 weeker maybe flush anyways? My tents harvest I stopped 2 weeks before harvest and 3 weeks on some. But Im just learning Monsignor! Great Day! All looks well!! Happy Harvest!!!!!

Thank you for weighing in!!! The good 'ol internet says that it is a 8-9 week strain. With careful consideration, I have decided to do one more feeding before flush. I don't think any of my patients will be dissatisfied with a slightly more rounded out product if that ends up being the case. This being said, I will now flush on the 18th, flush on the 22nd, and water the morning of the 26th and harvest in the afternoon after they plump up nicely.

I'm going to take my final pics just prior to harvest, including Trichome pictures AT harvest. I'm going to enter her in March's Plant of the Month because she really is exceptionally beautiful, if not just to me and her being my first.

Here's my new hanging smart pot system. The SCRoG will affix to the top and be removable.

Wheels on the bottom, nice! If the ash on the joint is black youll know to flush earlier next time. I say 2 weeks before harvest. Two water feedings before harvest. Looks great!!

I feed/water every four days. She will still have 2.5 water flushes before harvest, I just did one more feeding. Since it's High Porosity Promix it should flush faster than soil would. JimmyJames, could you weigh in on this for us?

[Monsignor]

And this will be the last picture update before I harvest on Sunday!!!!! Flush tonight and final rinse Sunday morning, pick in the evening.

Then next time I post pictures they will be the grand finale!!!! I"M SO STOKED!!!!

Beautiful Buds!!!!! Im wondering what you flush into with it caged in? Your not lifting it out and put in a bath tub? Im wondering how Im going to flush when big and cant be lifted? Great Day!

Thanks Monsignor, I just did some research and it looks to be too frequent of watering maybe and some N lock out. I dont think my drainage is good in the pots. Everytime I plant I wonder if I should through rocks in the bottom like Ive seen????? Im going to go jab a pencil in the pots for more air. Im nursing the PH pen I have but will get the Blue Lab. Im not sure if the B.Lab has to be kept wet cause that broke my first pen the HM digital. I know now to store it in water. My second pen is cheap and kinda whacky but nursing it, no need to be kept wet though. Thanks!

I suggest you don't us a PH pen that doesn't work or is inaccurate. It will only take a few feeds and you'll be in trouble.
You should probably go buy the proper equipment now before you are crying in your soup.
Blue lab pens are great. Make sure to follow their care instructions.

Thanks Dutch!!!!

I typically water with 2-2.5 gallons per water or feed. This time I watered with straight water with 4 gallons on 3 separate occasions prior to harvest. It should be antiquate. We will finally see soon if it worked well or not!!!

How longs it take till theyre thirsty??
Time before last I gave them 36oz and were thirsty in 5 days. This time I gave them 48oz and might reduce back to 36oz. I want to stay on FF schedule the best I can. Great Day!!
