Blue dream or OG kush are recommended in my book for making shatter, waxes, budder, etc etc.. they carry a higher THC content etc etc. blah blah blah blah.. I've only herd of blue dream from this book and this website recently.. id jump on it just out of curiosity.. have read amazing things on the site from peoples experiences with it.

Blue dream is good, no blue color to the buds though...ive grown several strains that were suppose to cure to lavender blue and havnt got 1 yet...thats with cool temperatures..the 24/0 18/6 thing ive done a few side by sides with no evidence saying 1 is better or worse but i only veg 2 weeks..maybe in a longer veg time there would be proof one is better and if so id like to hear it..
Plant to stay AWAY FROM,,,PURPLE BUD, by seedsman not purple and very finicky..when all the other plants have their leaves tilting up tword the light, purple bud leaves curl down,and very little stretch in flower..DONT GETPURPLE BUD!!! Unless you like to have to feed it diferent than all ur other strains..not good in sog or dwc as all plants get same water,,maybe good in soil but im a hydro gro..anyone else have trouble w/ this "easy to grow" strain??
Also if going with northern lights, nirvanas nl is a good strain, very uniform and good producer..easy to grow, but northern lights#5 by british columbia seeds,,,WAY BETTER,,more indica tighter nodes produces better and finishes earlier too..very easy to grow!!

Whats the longest you ever vegged out your blue dream? How much of a differance are your dark period temps? Just out of curiosity....

i only veg my blue dream clones for 1-2 weeks as it triples its size in flower.. my room temp is 60 degrees always, during light hours it may get up to 62 but i have an intake and exaught on temp control and can replace all the air in the room in about 5 minutes probably less...i even tried lowering the temp to 55 for 2 weeks but then some of the other strains didnt seem to like that temp so i went back to 60.. the original seed blue dream mom was vegged for 2 months to be mature for cloning she ended up around 5 feet tall i had to cull most of the bottom popcorn but got 5 nice colas off her.. my set up is more for plants that get to 3-3 1/2' tall so a 6-8 inch clone ends up near 3' and thats a rooted clone veged a week,maybe 2 but never more than 2 weeks veg, they would outgrow my space.. those temps are during fall to spring, in summer i set the room to 72 just to save on electric..

i thought the cheap ones were shit myself man but after watching my brother pull just near on a pound from a cheap chinese led 300w 2w diodes i went with the vispar 3 w led diodes 180w x2 they seem to be kicking it all right for a little grow like im doing they will do a wicked job i rekon as i have been useing 600w hps for some time now i would go the one off amazon as about 3 years ago they would of been shit but they have really done well

but hands down man u wanna produce big hps all the way but for a pound or 2 they will work just fine no isue at all
I'd have to go with Blueberry Gum from G13 Labs. It's mostly indica and the seedlings are hardy, plus she is easy to clone. I FIM them at 6-8 inches tall and let them veg until they are about 20 inches. Takes clones 3 1/2 to 4 weeks to veg that size and seedlings about 5 weeks. Tons of buds at 3 weeks flowering and the buds become sticy in week 4. I harvest right around 6 weeks flowering when the pistils are half orange. Hint - if you top or FIM her early you will end up with a wide, bushy plant. It's a good idea to get her into a tomato cage early as she will be top-heavy as she flowers.
Good luck, BigSteve.

thanks, im really unsure on the led thing,,been using hid for so long and know they produce. ive been told to wait a few years, but others say their great now,,to much confusion . id like to do a side by side w/ a 600 hps and a 400 w led but dont have the room anymore and the side by sides on the net are bs doing a 1000 hps and a led in a 4x4 area,,cause that 1000 could be covering a 6x6 or bigger..and the led's just dont have that coverage,,i dont think?? i seen that generic on amazon and think about trying it its only 250.00 bucks 5 watt diodes and 10 band plus uv or ir cant remember which.
