Blue Dream

i would love to visit sebastopol cali not for the blue dream it just sounds nice wheres that?

Ive gotten blue dream about a year ago now. being in vegas, we dont get as much variety as you all in Cali and other place of mass production. but anyways AMAZING buds. all bigger than a golf ball and just heavenly smelling.

Anyways, all you Blue Dream lovers, here's my version of it that I bought 3 years ago, my first seeds I ever bought, and still the most potent weed I've ever smoked.

did you find the blaze a sativa high,the pic look like indica leaves,mind you only one pic.how long did it take to grow and what did it yield like,i want to grow some genetics with DJ in them.

my blue dream clone i grew had very slender sativa fan leaves. i crossed it to pre98 bubba kush which im growing now looks to be a good hybrid. i unfortunately did not clone my blue dream so i no longer have the original.

i wonder how close the blaze is too blue dream.blaze does not appear to have the slender leaves of the bluedream.

Ya dude im tryin to grow 5 plants of blue dream dank strian loved it the first toke i took but u think u can give me sum help growing wise plzz i need some q to be answered thx.stay high jkidd

im not familiar with the strain 'blaze' what is its make up? jonniboi21 what questions did you have about growing blue dream? its a pretty easy plant yields well mine was soil grown indoors with a mix of organic and inorganic ferts. be careful not to over fert it. its a good plant i injured the root ball on mine when transplanting and it still produced well i wish i still had it. my bubba/blue dream cross is showing the same vigor so no big deal. i will find another blue dream cut eventually.

helll ya i ran into this beautiful 100% sativa.... i was
lucky enough to have the privlidge of buying 2 clones,..
they are now nice ladies ...id be happy to send pics
just find me im allways in here.
b.d. is one of the best ive ever smoked it takes a
sertin type o weed to make this old stoner paranoid...
(it did)...all i think needs to be said ...

I have a couple blue dreams in flowering right now if anyone has grown it did it take the 12 weeks of flowering i also cut 4 clones off of it. it is a great sativa strain

Hah, ok now I'm researching the Blue Dream I just picked up. This stuff sounds like it'll kick my ass. Maybe if I just smoke a little it won't send me over the edge. I think I'll try. The buds are very tight and firm, tightly packed. Smells great. Here's some pics.

i dont smoke in the morning usually but today i vaped some blue dream before riding all day. it gave me a nice positive high and i never ever noticed a burn out from it just another reason why i like this strain.

i just harvested my BD a week or so ago. wow, what a great bud. nice yield, covered in trichs. the stone is great for muscle pain and it lasts for hours and hours. i woke up hungover on weed after just two bowls. blew my mind, i wasnt expecting this. this will be one of my main strains now. great meds.

Blue dream has a 56 day (8 week) flowering time... Under optimal conditions it can easily be ready by day 50... give or take a day or two.
start checking the trichs around week 6 1/2 or 7.

no thats not correct if you have the real blue dream cut going around cali it is half haze remember its a 9 to 10 week strain. i have grown 7 week strains there normally pure or close to pure indicas.

YES bicycleman, I AM correct. I without a doubt have the REAL blue dream. And as I stated b4...
under OPTIMAL conditions it can be ready as early as 7 weeks (meaning starting to show amber trichs),
under good conditions... 8 weeks...

If yours took 9-10 weeks to finish its probably cuz one or several things went wrong with your grow... ( like a damaged root ball ect...)

Even when I've seen cuttings at at the clubs, it's advertised as a 56 day flower time... but regardless of that...

1.) I'm speaking from actual long term experience with blue dream ...

2.)And your giving advice and calling people out when you admit yourself to only having 1 plant of it, 1 time and damaging the root ball...

Wat up wit dat ??

i let mine go 9+ weeks, it started to dreadlock which is nice and got very solid in the last 2 weeks. i would say 9 even 10 weeks is the way to go.

okay well maybe i should explain myself...
if i were growing in a closet with 4 plants MAYBE i would let them go 60 days to try to add on weight and maybe wait for a higher percentage of trichs to turn...

but ive tried A LOT of experiments with the dream and my goal is to get the most yield PER YEAR and to do that... a lil over 7 weeks does best.

i guess it depends on yer set up... i remember back in the day i would let my few plants go as long as possible trying to get the most of it.

the math has been done... check it out:

on a 7 week cycle the room cost a average $100.00 per day (hard to believe right) and profits $300.00 per day (good deal right).

here's the problem : when the cycle is lengthened to 8, 9, 10 + weeks it will continue to cost $100.00 a day but will not continue to average the $300.00 a day profit due to growth slowing too much...the longer i let it go the more profit i lose even if the yield went up slightly.
basicly I've done my home work.
the reason I think the dream is so good is bcuz of its fast flowering time and yield and A+ quality. I personally cant afford to wait for 50/50 trichs or anything crazy like that. The quality is still A+ even when pulled early, lots of people prefere mine over the half amber trich dream cuz the taste and high are better.

also thought I should mention I know 7 other people growing dream, all have been growing it for well over a year some up to three years and I myself have grown it for a long spell and none of us let it go past 56 days.

so if your growing 2 plants under cfl's then let em go 10 weeks otherwise i would sugest staying at the 8 week mark max.

Just because all of you are doing that doesn't make it correct. You all are harvesting too early, before the resins are ripe.

Blue Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid, and the plant looks like it and the high is certainly sativa like. The Haze that she is crossed with is a 12-14 week ripening time, so no hybrid of that will be finished in 8 weeks.

You said so yourself, you're in it solely for the money, so you are harvesting early.

if you offer your customers a 10 plus week blue dream and an 8 week blue dream,they will take the 10 plus every time,no?

my point is we have all tried longer and shorter flower times and agree that they are done in 8 weeks!! I'm not in it soley for the money but waiting ten weeks is definatly a waste of money and time unless you are growing outside or on a very small scale.

I HAVE AMBER TRICHS AT 8 WEEKS... PERIOD, THATS ALL IM SAYING! If I went ten weeks all my trichs would turn amber and the weed looks tired and spent.

i like to harvest before a lot of trichs turn amber, and a lot of people feel the same way!
Here's a quote from Jorge Cervantes growers bible :
"Harvest when the majority of trichomes have turned amber FOR A BODY STONE. Pure indica, afgani, and indica dominant strains harvested at this "LATE" point will possess a heavy body, or couchlock stone. HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART SO PAY ATTENTION)... Waiting to harvest pure sativa and SATIVA-DOMINANT VARIETIES ( like blue dream ) will NOT take advantage of these strains. Such strains are BEST harvested when resin glands are CLEAR to MILKY colored. !!!!!!

So, according to Jorge Cervantes book... im actually waiting too long since I do wait to start seeing amber trichs on my sativa dominant strain!!!

After 8 weeks by my standard it is done and the benafits of letting it go longer are not justified cost wise nor quality wise. maybe by other peoples standard its not done cuz they want 50/50 amber thrichs?

let me ask all of you:
how do you determine when it's ready to harvest?
if i have amber thrichs when i harvest... am i harvesting too early?

you said the haze she is crossed with is 12-14 weeks (WHATS THE NAME OF THE HAZE?) and as far as i knew the haze it was crossed with was of unknown genitics... maybe it was not 100 % haze and didnt have a 12-14 week time? maybe the blue berry was a pheno/genitics with a really short flower time? besides, genitics dont always work excactly how you would expect and regardless everyone seems to agree that that the true exact genitics of blue dream arent known.

I DIDNT COME HERE TO ARGUE JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE AS ARE YOU... OUR EXPERIENCES AND GROWING SITUATIONS OBVIOUSLY ARE DIFFERENT. I never told anyone here that they were "not correct" but everyone feels pretty confident telling me that I am "not correct".
maybe its bcuz i dont have 3 million posts? oh well, i still hope everyone does well, i was just trying to help not change your grow methods.
grow it for 15 weeks maybe that will be the bomb!!??hehe
