Been more than a week, here's some picture updates for you guys, she's plumping up nicely and lookin pretty good for Plant of the Month May Edition. I appreciate those who have stopped by and given their compliments, advice's, and just the overall support. Thanks friends

Hey Box, those are some sweet looking buds.

You know it's funny about women, as they grow up they seem to all want to change their hair color

Still looking good my man, what a change over the last few weeks. You are gonna need a couple hands to trim that girl.

Dude I know haha! My last plant took me about 6 hours of trimming alone! Constant cleaning the scissors and patience!

Just actually cruised on by this grow and am i sure glad i did. Major props bro and that beautiful lady you have there is going to bring you many more smiles here in the near future. Gnarly job so far and looking forward to seeing this lady all grown up. Its nice to see the visualization of T.L.C. Really defines the grower and of course the lovely ladies will always show you the same appreciation right back!
Happy Growing

Howdy Endo, thanks for stopping by Also, welcome to Theres lots of great people hear and information!

Just saw some pics of your grow, very nice setup for a first grow! You'll have alot of fun and gain experience and learn alot.

Fantastic stuff, xbox! I just finished looking through both BD grows and I'm wayyy impressed over here. Growing 3 Blue Dream clones right now, but I would be REALLY surprised if mine had even a third the yield you've been getting!

I can't wait to see the finished product

 

[xbox4him]

Wellcome to Peacocky! You should defiantly make a grow journal here, or at least post up some pics for your plants man, Blue Dream is a great strain and im interested in how yours look too

 

[ComoradeBudds]

Nice looking plants

Kick ass budzz as always!

So im thinking of investing in either a 150w or 250w HPS setup. Right now the 150w looks ideal but im just afraid if i want to expand in the future, it wont be sufficient enough.

This is the 150w model im looking at right now. I havent found a decent cheap 250w yet. Craigslist has a ton of 400, 600, and 1000 watt setups for cheap, but thats overkill for me.

Hey my man, have you checked HTG? They have 400W MH or HPS kits for around 40-50 bucks more with 55K lums. Just an Idea...

They also have 250 kits for 2 bucks less Don't know how I missed "Overkill for me" ooops.

 

[Peacocky]

Got a Blue Dream grow journal going, I'd looove for it to turn out anything like yours. We'll see

More pics?

Day 50 Flowering

Harvest time is coming up pretty soon! I've noticed some last-minute weight being put on. Also yesterday was the last day nutes, so now the flushing will commence for the next two weeks or so.

 

[George Parker]

Those pics are beautiful my man, of course the subject of the photos lends a hand...

The contrast of colors is fantastic. Great work!

 

[xbox4him]

Thanks dime! I have a feeling that this particular plant is going to run until day 70 because its a clone from my last plant, and that one took till day 70 LOL. I guess all i can do is wait. I may dose her 1 more time with nutes if needed.

As for future grows i will not veg them to be this huge haha, i think the smaller sized plants would perform better for my setup Hopefully i can start a couple of em from some seeds ive gotten from my past grows.

 

[Plato420]

Wow really starting to pack on the weight now. looking good.
I really hope my Blue Dream finishes up around around the 70-80 day mark.

 

[xbox4him]

Yeah Plato, this strain likes to push it past the conventional 8-10 weeks range.

They have 400W HPS with built in ballists. don't waste your $ on anything less. My 2C. IMO the minimum is 400W and the difference on the power bill is minimal but the results are night and day.

Well of course 400w is better, but it's just not practical for me with my space and ventilation. And i don't plan on making a farm of 6+ plants, 1-2 max is chill with me. But i i have noticed that 400w is the popular wattage which most people use.
