Blue Dream Growers

Evening RIU,

Can anyone who has ever grown Blue Dream give me a hand?

I've used (what was said to be) BD from a pretty reliable source of very good medicine in the past. A couple months back I received some from a different source which to me looked, smelled, tasted and smoked like BD. I was convinced. It was hermied too so I got about 8 seeds.

Obviously I don't know for sure. I only have 1 other strain and this is only my first ever grow - I have no experience and only 1 other strain to compare this to.

I figured maybe you all could look at the leaf structure and give me a plausible or a big fat NO?

I'd appreciate any opinions.

isnt blue dream also known as blue mystic?

first off... is your image uploaded with image shack?

security risk homie.

second : if that's your first grow, the plant looks outstanding.

excellent job.

no.

blue dream isnt blue mystic.

blue dream is legendary (clone only) and blue mystic is a fu*kin joke.

and that plant really doesn't look like blue dream to me.

my cut has thin(er) leaves...

...and my cut is definitely legit.

GK,

Thanks for the comments my friend. I really appreciate it!!!

I have looked up some BD pictures but you never know whats legit really and whats not ya know? Plus I'm not really sure what I was given over here was actually that, especially on the East Coast. Like I said, I made my judgement based on previous look, taste, smell, smoke. It just happened this batch was hermied and had a few seeds. Which brings me to something I've asked a few people but never really be clarified. I always sort of doubted this being actual BD but labeled it anyways. However, can't a poor grower stress something "clone only" end up with seedy bud? This person had like 3 strains in a row end up hermied before I kept these seeds.

Anyways that is that story. I appreciate your input because I doubted it, but the leaves are kind of serrated and funky so I didn't know if that was part of that DJ Short genetic I've read about in the past.

Thanks for the comment on my grow. Unfortunately they aren't even at potential because I don't have an HPS yet. My basement in nasty as hell and I need to drylock the floor and walls, until I do it's not worth buying an HPS. When I switched to 12/12 I added 27k's to the side and swapped 2 of the main bulbs for 27's. Theres maybe 300 watts of 27K, 55K and 65K. I figured expensive HPS bulbs are full spectrum, why not give it a whirl. Whats the worst I do, mess up. I just wish it penetrated better.


Why is image shack a security risk? Sorry I'm dumb I guess. I thought I cover myself fairly well. I wipe all my exif data via Irfanview and I always log on through vpn's. Definently appreciate any advice.

That is def not bluedream.BD has way more lookin sativa leaves to it and alot stretchier

Yeah, not blue dream, you got a very healthy predominantly indica strain...keep up the good work.

Thanks for the input Roots & Phil.

I'm starting to consider that what I was given a few months back wasn't really BD but maybe came with the same name. I guess all I have to from is where these seeds came. I wish I had taken pictures and jotted down my experience to compare to my final product

I have a nice Sativa dominant strain as well... you can see her fan leaf fingers sticking out in the top right.

Thanks again all.

It could very well be half blue dream, my guess is the grower that you got the seed from grows an indica as well and that is probably what hermied giving your blue dream seeds. You could have a dreamy blue kush. If you can, find out what else that grower has going....

Afternoon Phil,

Thanks for keeping with the thread! Even though at first sights it could seem like a total dumb question given all the no anwsers.

As I said I got my original taste of (what was said to be) BD from someone I consider very reliable and a fine producer of med's. I think I had about 4 grams so I was definently able to get the feel of it to where if I smoked it again I would be able to tell. Just like Disel is distinct.

However where I got the seedy batch from was someone else, someone I don't really trust. Since it's my first grow (and I am legal as of a couple months ago) I still have to get my med's second had. We unfortunately have 0 dispensaries in the state. So this other person, I don't like going into too much detail with... but I try to get them to ask for the strain names for me.

Your theory makes a ton of sense. Like I said there was 3 seedy strains. One I don't know, but there was only 2 seeds and they were in the same bud and both popped in my bowl anyways. Oops. The second one had the most seeds, it was 'G-Bomb'. The last was this strain pictured. Perhaps that was the culprit?

that would make a lot of sense to me... it could be the g bomb that it crossed with... it would make the most sense that the seediest strain was the culprit of hermaphroditism. Simply because the strain your growing doesnt look like blue dream doesnt mean that it isnt in its herritage. It seems to me that wide leafs are a dominant gene against thin leaves because all the crossing I have seen, the herritage always has a fan leaf structure that goes more toward the indica based parent and not sativa. However, this changes when flowered, you're likely to see those fat leaves turn longer and thinner and that sativa side more apparent. G bomb x blue dream... interesting. Whats G bomb? a g13 offshoot? so it could be (g13 x ?)x(super silver haze x blueberry).... solid genetic line when it comes down to it. Keep the pics coming as it matures... i love this kind of guessing game. Its like detective/forensic work for stoners....

Hey Phil,

Once again thanks for sticking with me. Most of the guessing type threads I read seem like young kids posting Mexican field sativa seed plants. You never know what they are.

I'm equally as interested in trying to figure this damn plant out. As I said, I labeled it compared to a previous smoke of BD. But I'm still not sure if BD is confirmed on the East Coast or my state. As you mentioned, the Indica leaves were prominent right away. Even being a first time grower I said "Hey... I thought this was a mainly sativa? Maybe it's not BD". I actually think I mentioned it maybe not being BD early on in my grow log. As you said though, of late the leaves really started to stretch out, which gave me enough restored faith to propose this question to the forum.

From what I've read G Bomb is the resulting sexual strain from taking a "G" strain and reversing another "G". Both "G's" were cuttings from a G13 as you mentioned.

Talk about a detective game! I live in the smallest state in the US, you think someone would recognize the pictures.

Buddy - this is blue dream! Good Luck.

Blue dream is ridiculously overrated , grew out some clones about 2-3 years ago and ended up keeping it for 2 grows until i found something better, it really is legendary but i think its an average plant. on a side note, what you have is an indica and blue dream should be more sativa. beautiful plant and i think from the looks of it, you might have found something better.

Blue Dream is so flooded in Cali right now you almost cannot sell it. Super fast high yielding strain, but everyone and their brother are growing it because of that.

Thanks for the picture KiKi. I saw a picture once of a mature one and it looked just like that. So I know what I have is waaaaay of.

I that what I was originally told was BD actually wasn't.

I will try to update everyone who was interested eventually when I'm done flowering. This is my first grow so lets hope nothing goes bad.


Thanks for the good comments LIL and Indica. I guess it's good I snagged these seeds then. Like I said they are med grade, but bag seed. Although I'm legal I still have to get my stuff second hand and I called the person back and asked them to save all the seeds they found in their big bad for me.

sure thing... my journal is in my sig - hit me up on my thread if you need help with your grow. When I started my first grow - everyone helped me.... so stop by if you need anything.

Here's the not so blue dream and her white pistals.

Maybe it is going to be better as Indicaman said.

yo idk how old this thread i but all of you a wrong not to b an ass ur a lil right but wrong closest person was phil. your all forgetting 1 FACT phenotype= 50% genotype 50% environment. that said ur plant u got there is blue dream it just expressed a diffrent phenotype (physical characteristics) ur "indica" could go on to flower for 10 to 14 weeks what would people tell u then?... uknow . its funny cuz i just got 30 blue dream seeds and was planning on doing up but did research and theres problems 1 blue dream is clone only homeboy who invented it had to distribute clones and probably tried to get from it but what ive read its a very unstable stain. worst yet since phenotype= 50% environment 50% genotype we would all have to know wat homeboy who invented it environment at the time he grew it . ive read bd has up to 12 diff phenotypes reason why its unstable which is why seed banks dont want to mess wit it. i would start by replicating sativa type weather to get that pheno of a sativa... then ur a quater of the way there. next with this fact (bd flowers at 8-9 weeks) you would have to find the one who looks sativa but flowers indica style half way there the other 2 is flavor and yield would have to be present. bd is high yielding and that sweet mellow hazy taste......u and i would have to strike gold to get all them phenos and genos with the seeds we have ..the more seeds the merrier. but best of luck 4 the both of us...

probably tried to get seeds from it * sry doin this on ps3 no keyboard30 seeds with 50% female 50% hermi genes my seeds can be all hermi or all girls or 50 50 so lets say 15 seeds to work with but 12 phenos....whos nasty at math? wat are all my odds i kno im missing other odds lol

ima have blue dream going next round,already have them vegging,ive done it in the past and it came out great, the clones i have now are exactly like the one i did back then, thin leaves,stretchy plant (im doing LST) and very potent smelling stem(stalk) even on small clones.

idc if cali is flooded with it though lol..if you ask me,id say everyone is more worried about growing "OG" "KUSH" and all these other strains being crossed these days.
