so here is the deal with blue dream...like GDP, it is only found from clone. Blue dream has some of the stickiest buds I have seen in a long time. THe only issue I have with the stuff I have been getting is...I do not feel the farmers are growing/curing and drying it properly. SOOOOO, I am wondering what I can do with it? Maybe cross it with a purple male that I have access to?
So many possibilities...such little time!
tell me about it!Quote:

Status: Day 85, Tray#1 @ Day 42 in flower
---------------------------------
This is the beginning of week #6...Some of the leaves are starting to yellow already on Tray #1. This is happening on the big colas. Not surprised at all. They are monsters. 2 liter coke bottle sized. I will post some pictures later.
Flushing:
---------------------------------
I have a couple questions since I am coming upon it...I purchased florakleen from GH at the beginning of my grow. Since, this is still my first hydro grow...When is it a good time to start flushing tray #1? How much of this crap should I use...and when flushing should I continue using cal mag? Honestly, I get no really great answers on this when I ask...I guess it is a subjective question (depends on the grower). But, hey any ideas would be awesome.
One Major wrench to throw in:
-------------------------------------------
Also, There is an issue that I have neglected to speak about this entire time. One of the plants in Tray #1 is just now starting to bud...its gotten its crazy veg going on where the massive colas would form...and there are flowers forming all over the plant. Not a hermie...I swear.
Why the hell would this plant take so long to develop...and since this is in the same ebb and flow tray, how the fuck am I going to flush? Should I just clone the shit out of this plant? :D I dunno what to do with it...it is big bushy and beefy...it would be a shame to kill her for the sake of the other buds....
I have also been contemplating harvesting the tops and letting the bottoms continue to get more growth out of them...thus, letting this one plant play catch up. (perhaps I need to let this whole thing go to 10 weeks?) Suggestions would be great! :jointsmile:
one more update:
-------------------------------------
I have had to tie some of my plants to keep them upright (heavy colas equal bending as they get bigger. I am assuming I should be expecting more during the 6 week explosion...but, am not sure with these strains, as they are new to me!
Picture explanations (I must be stoned if I feel the need to explain pictures):stoned:
-------------------------------------
Pictures #1 and #2 are of the plant that is just now fully flowering (random happenings in the grow room)
Picture #3 - is my 2nd tray
Picture #4 and #5 - are from tray #3
:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile::j ointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:
some of my girls from tray #2...this one is going to be super sexy when done! The colas aren't massive...but, they are covered with snow! Then again, they have been getting bigger and fatter everyday!:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:
is it too late to add molases? Should I add it...if so, why and how much! :thumbsup:
Ive heard it gives the plant some extra simple sugars and lets it fatten up, I used 1 Tbsp/gal.
It's also said to help give your buds a better flavor and aroma being that the dry and cure is correct.
It's mostly for beneficial bactera to feed on there by helping the plant with what ever beni's do. I have not seen where the plants actually use the sugar.
I could be wrong.
How bad does it muk up your rez. I would not want to clean pumps and lines on a drip system. that's why I have not tried it.
good call on the drip system...but in tray #1 I am ebb and flow (starting week 6 of flower)...Tray #2 & #3 are drip. I am noticing more consistency with my drip systems...allthough, ebb and flow has much bigger growth overall. Just an observation.
Any thought on my first post? I will re-post it now....and here we go.

let me guess the plant in question was in a corner and furthest away from the socket end of the lamp?
ding ding ding...Tell him what he has won BOB:thumbsup:...any suggestions to get this thing moving along? Of course, I could always move the tray further forward...to expose it to light! I also think this plant due to being ebb and flow is not getting as much water as the others.
I will be considering cutting down the plants to 7 per tray in the future...for obvious reasons!:D
Plus...ebb and flow is something I will no longer being doing in the future...only drip systems for me! Those plants look much better!:jointsmile:
the only way really that plant could be cheated in an E&F setup is if it is not level enough for water to get to that corner and I dont see that as possible from your pics. second, every grow I do shows me that the socket end of the light always has better growth, buds, etc. really starting to wonder what gonna happen when I get my grow room finished in Basement
allright guys...here are some pictures for you all! I took these 4 days ago...I will take some more tonight. :thumbsup:

Wow now those are some premo buds!
Great grow my man:thumbsup::rasta:
wrong post
disaster on tray #1....oh well. Shit happens. :D
I should have let these plants go 14-15 weeks. When I harvested them this week they seemed nice and dense...no problem with them at all...damn was I wrong.
When they dried they became all light and airy....I am hoping that in curing they get denser. But, I believe I harvest WAAAAAAAYYYYY to early. But, hey lesson learned.
I will ask the forum for its opinion before I ever harvest again. Again, lesson learned. :wtf:
Now I am onto tray #2 and tray #3...Purple Erkel, Grape Ape, and GDP.
I will be posting pictures this week so you can see their progress.
They will not go back to dense. Many of mine are light and airy. Tried gravity and it helped but I should of done it 2 weeks before harvest instead of 3.
dont knock yourself for chopping early, been growing same strain for over a year and just now getting time and such dialed in.
allright kids...since this thread is now officially dead...I am starting a new one today. PURPLE KORNER!:jointsmile:
I will post a dry product picture later today...I ended up with one pound of good quality buds!
Total yield 1 lb....5 citral plants. Definitely a high yielder...and I cut early. Probably would have been closer to 2 pounds had I waited a couple weeks longer. :jointsmile:
still not a bad yield from 5 plants!Quote:
