Looking forward to seeing the blimburn c99 flower. I'm running female seeds next Australian season and have heard that its better then blimburns.

It should be a great flowerer-hoping it is somewhat mold resistant. I'll send more pics when it pre-flowers.

Lol....I'm kinda scared at how they are growing right now. More then a foot in the last week.... sheesh...I don't want 14 foot high plants like I ended up with last yr. I'm thinking all will be good no matter when it flips! Thanks man!

Good to hear from the SC Mountain crowd. I'm in Brookdale as I type this. I'm going blue this year too - Blue Widow & Blue Dream.

Are any of you Mountain Feed customers? I spent some time there picking brains and getting ferts yesterday.

lovin all the SC growers here!
been growing in the county since 1997
I only wonder WHY would you go with the HSO bluedream when the realdeal SCBD is all over the place here?
I've done both and the SCBD is hands down a better strain...
waaay better on the mold issues/early fog we get here.

At my latitude the daylight goes sub 14.5 hours near the 12th of July, so by the 21st or so the flowers be coming hard.

90% of our strains are preflowering, about 50% are full flowering.
hell we have one that is probably about 30 days from finish.
ALL outside, on top of a hill.
I think there is just shy of 200 out there.
I mean uh, 99.
weird weather this yr, but like always it's gonna depend on the September and October rain

Greasemonkey you make a good point. I have grown Santa Cruz Blue Dream for over 10 years. It's always last to flower and very mold resistant. Only if you get nicked by a worm do you see any real mold, and it rarely penetrates the stem. I use a spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol and it kills the mold good. I wanted to grow by seed this year, and by all measures the pheno I have of the HSO blue dream is true to the Santa Cruz blue dream genetics. Same smell, same leaf size, same plant structure. I had 5 seeds and only kept this one, so I knew what I was looking for. My Dutch Passion blueberries are 2 weeks into flower. My Barney's Acapulco Gold is going off as well. The strains that are still in full veg are my HSO blue dream, the HSO lost coast hash plant and my Blim Burn seeds grizzly purple kush. As for local blue dream, you can't get seed, and I wanted my girls to be seed this year. Too often the local clones are on 24 hours and they flower before veging very much. I would recommend the HSO lost coast hash plant. The hairs are 1/2" long and in the past my triumverate was blue dream, hash plant and AK47. Those were the days...............

man, I hear ya there, that's why I do mine from my own stock, I vege @ 16hrs, and when I pop them out on june first they usually don't start flowering.
but yea, the clubs here are ALL on at least a 20/4 if not constant light, then at the least change they trigger
another one you may like is the double dream, a cross of the blue dream, and something else, the dreamstar? can't remember but I reaaaally liked that one.
