Definitely. Just about thru here. And u didnt have as rough a time as alot of us. Seem to be a natural (with Jefe’s help :wink::joy:) but the ladies should be popping pistils by now. Any white hairs?

And stop being so gentle. The ladies can take a beating. Tuck those leaves!

Also you could clean out those lowers on the right plant. They wont make it to screen/wont be much anyway

LOTS of great help, especially el jefe! and i researched the crap out of this on this forum and lost weeks to youtube, which i’d never even really been on before. it’s turned into a full time job. good thing (?) i don’t have one right now. money also helps. i got a tenant and used up all the rent money and then some on this.

maybe i have some? i was gonna wait another day before sending up the panic balloon. the problem with watching videos and time lapse is this all looks like it happens overnight, so when mine aren’t doing much i get worried.

Congratulations! She’s a girl! Those are definitely pistils my friend. You are almost into flower. This is called preflower AKA transition.

When the pistils form little ‘crowns’ on the top. That is full flowering

Definitely. Blue Dream is usually a fairly quick flowering strain (8-10 weeks i think) so maybe… late Sept youll be chopping. Mid October ull have smokable… and mid November ull be good and cured correctly. Thats the test of patience. The dry and cure

haven’t gone anywhere in years and i booked a trip home for five days end of September which probably guarantees that’s exactly when it’ll need to be chopped… my autos may finish up same time, but who really knows? if they make it that long.

and ironically am finding i’m far more of an indica fan. but i have plenty of friends who are gonna jump at this. i’m really enjoying the grow despite some of the frustrations.

Congratulations. Glad everything is going ok for you. You got a good start.

How’s it looking? And I was reading and got curious…have you had Blue Dream before? It’s one of my very favorites. It’s very flexible for me. Great first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and enough or a couple big enough hits at bedtime, and it helps me get to sleep and stay asleep, too. As an indica fan even I think you’ll really love it, too. The Blueberry in it really comes through. The Haze side just kinda keeps it from being a drowsy strain for me. Not racy at all.

I think he had 2 completely diff Dream phenos. U know me. Im over here wondering which high is Dreammier

That’s true too! I’ve got it from three different cultivators here, Green & Gold, Cultivation Labs, and Remedy…I’ve had two phenos from G&G, CL’s is the best in my opinion, but haven’t had it in a while, may have been a fluke, and then Remedy’s is like somewhere in between the other two, so that’s probably a 4th. Just seems like it leans toward one parent or the other.

I think they came from the same breeders. One was short n bushy. The other lanky n more sativa like

I wouldn’t believe one from the other saying they have the “original.” In fact, I wouldn’t believe that from anyone but DJ Short himself.

Hey! Thanks for checking in. Here’s a quick update. been pretty much just on feeding and tuck and move patrol the last few days. there is no real game plan for my scrog and i’m afraid i’m going to snap one of these sites as i keep moving them, probably sometimes back to where they started. it gets confusing as they grow so stinking much overnight sometimes.

We’re at (something like) Day 72 from germ and 8 from flip to 12/12. i got a buddy coming over shortly to help me swap out the 4" for 6" fans. the humidity has been like 65% and still low 80’s, so hoping this fixes it. they’re not in flower yet so hoping that humidity isn’t a big deal.

it’s a JUNGLE in there. all looks pretty good. time will tell if i run into a space/height issue.

someone’s been nibbling here and there and i caught a few bugs. nothing major. the plant on the left is still showing tiny signs of calmag def, so going to feed straight calmag today as it also has slight tip burn on the leaves, so a full feed of the AN nutes (has calmag in it) may not be advised still.

!

Other kinda mystery, which may just be simple condensation (but i don’t feel any on the tent or the light) is these occasional wet spots on the leaves.

!

The only blue dream i’ve had was from the street so… who knows what i got. it smelled and looked good but gave me a headache and ended up giving it away. i got my med card recently and been trying to find a dispensary that has it, but the handful of licensed growers around here seem to love their own fancy strains and it’s actually been hard to find flowers that match the seeds i’m getting from ILGM to compare. i’ve got some blueberry and a northern lights going outside so if the BD doesn’t cut it, those may fit the bill, but yeah, i may have a nice daytime strain here. i can’t wait to try it!!

i do find the cookies fam treats me well at night. of course i have zero seeds of that lol. got some platinum OG in the mail today and a whole host of others for the next rounds. ILGM sent me some freebies to compensate for my crazy AmHz - white widow, cheese and bubblegum. we can legally have six in flower and six in veg here, so at some point i need to sit down and work out this math problem to see what’s going to get me the best bang for my buck given the count restraints and also my limited space and growing style (which is evolving) needs.

here’s my outdoor grow. remains to be seen if these things survive the humidity here.

Whoops! Wrong grower on the diff BD phenos. I think Platinum OG is off the cookie linage?

The wet spots are usually where leaves are overlapping and touching. Instead of just evaporating, the moisture they ‘sweat’ out just sits there. If you’re seeing a lot of it, you might want to do some trimming here and there to allow more airflow. No big deal, now, but it can become a problem quickly once flowering. If there’s two big leaves touching, just pop one of them off. The bigger fan will help.

Don’t worry about snapping them when you’re tucking. I mean, try to avoid it, but if you do, don’t sweat it. Keep some honey or aloe handy, and soft ties or tape for first aid if you need it. But honestly, lots of folks will tell you break the hell out of them. Everywhere you supercrop a branch, it will grow knuckle, the plant will put extra energy into healing/defending itself, and the buds on those branches will be super gooey. They’re really resilient. You’re doing great!

What kind of bugs did you catch? Look very carefully for eggs, too.

lol was wondering but it’s all good. i’ll take whatever love comes my way ha.

the platinum is supposed to melt your face. may have some cookie in it but the face melting percentage is higher, so may be too much. kills me i won’t know for like a year…
