This looks like trouble…

I have the same thing going on with one of my Apple Fritters. I thought she was done stretching and then grew like 3 inches overnight. :man_shrugging:

2/10/24-- WEEK 5
Today I have been able to raise the HLG quantum boards about 6" :heavy_check_mark: That’s it… that’s all the more room I’ve got… this Blue Dream is living up to it’s specifications listed on ILGM.
The last week I made an adjustment to the UVB light. Raised☝️ it to the top corner of the tent opposite of the Blue Dream as it’s the one that shows the fan leaf taco. Only powered on for 3hr in the middle of day.

At this point in the grow this is where I begin to wonder… should I begin to modulated back the Jack’s 321 nutrients? Or remain constant throughout. I’ve always seemed to struggle with seeing the plants “fade away” towards the end of flowering. It’s as if the bottoms of the Autopot trays/Coco retains extra Jack’s 321 nutrients… this round I’m using Mammoth P and Mammoth silica. So I’m in a current debate with myself as to whether or not I should be modulating back the nutrients or remain constant and continue…hmm…
Check out my week 5 Do-Si-Dos and that tall Blue Dream, it reduced the gap between it and the light. I’ve moved it up today though. Still looks like trouble.

I’ll start by saying, I know I could do better.
However I’m still pretty impressed with what’s going on.
Check out the ILGM Do-Si-Dos and Blue Dream!
We’ll have some foxtailing on the Blue Dream due to the intense lights and I underestimated it’s stretch. Some of those big colas are only 5-9" away from the quantum boards.
The Do-Si-Dos will be harvested sometime in the next 2 weeks. We’ll monitor the condition of the trichomes throughout.
As advertised people… ILGM states the Do-Si-Dos will flower 8-9 weeks whereas the Blue Dream 9-12 weeks. Accurate :heavy_check_mark:





It’s so stinky!!!

3/3/24-- WEEK 8-- DO-SI-DOS GOT TO GO :scissors:
This morning when i unzipped the tent and gave it a good look it was easy to see that the Do-Si-Dos what’s ready to go. I will begin trimming it down and preparing it for the Cannatrol.
As I cut back limbs and branches of the Do-Si-Dos the Big Blue Dream began to topple and needed some help keeping upright so I’ve tied it up just the way she likes it.
The smells are intense! Unlike all others that have grown before them. I will pinpoint down who the culprit is and begin reviewing them.
Let’s do it up right this time! :heavy_check_mark:
Here’s 5 pictures for evidence.

Both of those strains have fantastic aromas so I’m sure it’s tough to pinpoint what’s going on until they get separated. Beautiful job bro, those look like some nice nugs :call_me_hand:t3:

Gorgeous as noted above :point_up: how are you liking the cannatrol?

I know when i first saw them mentioned on here, there was such hesitancy by a lot of people because of the price. It seems as time passes, more and more are getting one and happy with the results. It is expensive, but at the same time it would be nice not to have so many hoops to jump through during dry/cure because of the time of year.

WEEK 9 – BLUE DREAM
The weight of the flowers are causing most of the unsupported branches to fall. It looks like a mess in there but it is all good! Here are a couple more close ups instead. Whatcha think? Another 2 weeks??

True, we’ll have to wait until after the cure and I’ve got everything in the vaults. They’ve not been separated… the Do-Si-Dos got harvested at week 8. Looks like it was prime time AND it was prime time for me so win win! Allows me to stagger the dry/cure Cannatrol. I’ll follow up with pictures of the cured Do-Si-Dos. I’m not thrilled about the bud structure but what is there looks and smells to be proper medical material :wink:

New to me! :heavy_check_mark: I like it already. Let’s be honest though, when I hang up a plant for dry/cure and screw it up (drying it to quick usually) it absolutely frustrating to see, to consume… to smell… all of it… it’s all very disappointing after all the gardening work you had put in… so I was sick of it and wanted to try the “perfect cure” the vaportrol technology… the Cannatrol! The very large 1800$ price tag for such a small unit… seems excessive but if it performs well for years I will be happy. Already am impressed with how well the Do-Si-Dos is coming along in the Cannatrol. I’ll keep ya updated!

Yup!! Couldn’t agree much more. Hopefully for 1800$… I won’t have anymore hoops to jump through.

What do you people think of this Blue Dream? I’m thinking I’m starting to see a cloudy milky look to it…
Love the bud structure of this one! The bud to leaf ratio is nice, I can tell trimming will be easy.
Smells amazing! Can’t wait to cycle it through the Cannatrol!

I let my blue dream go too far, I think. I should have let the sativa shine a lil more in them. Looking great!

ILGM shows Blue Dream a 9-12 week flowering time. I’m currently at week 10. Think I should harvest? Guess it depends on if I prefer more amber or less… you’re saying you should have let the sativa shine through a bit more… what do you think @Thumper
Either way it’s getting real real close!

I really wish I had pulled my ILGM blue dream earlier. It will knock you out :zzz: and allot of the smell and terps changed late. :person_shrugging: I gave most away as it had 0 flavor but a monster buzzzz.

Alright, with that being said I think what we’ll do is valve off the system and do one or two waterings from the top of the soil to drain over the course of this week and harvest in 4-7 days from now.

agreed :heavy_check_mark:
Here’s a picture with flash and without.
