I had a hard time controlling the environment in my room. I have almost the same room that you have, I put down 1 inch foam from home-depot on the entire floor wall 2 wall. Other then just getting the pots off the cold cement and my heating cost down 80% there is way too many advantages to this than I can list. Since you have sheetrock on the walls, painting them flat white will give you the best reflective surface there is. Note: If your heater is on the floor, try suspending it from the ceiling or lay down a piece of plywood.I'm growing the exact same strain and I'm about 2-3 weeks from harvest.
Here's what I can tell you about Blue Dream:
1.)it's gonna want to bush out and take up a lot of space, mostly air. The foliage isn't that dense.
The next time I grow this strain i'm going to trim the lower branches when I make the switch to 12/12.
2.)It's gonna get about 3-4 feet tall
3.)It grows fast, drinks lots of water and mine wanted MORE nutes than I gave them.
4.)The buds will be very dense, there will be lot's of frosting, but the buds won't be huge in size.
As for the drooping, mine did that when I transplanted them into passive hydro. I thought I was overwatering, but it turns out I was underwatering. Once the roots got established they just took off. Make sure they're getting the right water. Also, these plants are hard to kill. Mine endured some abuse....from 90% RH after a big storm flooded the floor, to 20%RH in heat wave, to totally underfeeding them, and finally spider mites. They are still producing.
For example, I've got my two BD's growing next to a WW and a Jack Herer. The WW and Jack each have main cola's that are 12-14 inches long....same nutes, same light, same medium, etc. However, the Blue Dreams have several smaller colas, about 6-8 inches long. If you pinch the WW, the cola is thick but not rock hard. The BD feels like it's already dried....it's so dang dense, and I know it's heavy, because after I sprayed them once, all the branches sagged. The buds are smaller, but very dense and frosty.
I am smoking some too, that came from my clones mom.....and it's really nice, smooth and pleasant. Lot's of laughing, great mental energy for about an hour, followed by a very comfortable body stone. I really like this stuff, and.....
Good luck with your grow! I'll be tuned in a watching.

And what is your feeding schedule on your Ebb system? Thanks Michelle.
First things first, my plan worked!! It got really cold last night and I had the lights off. The plants blew up in color!! I got purples oranges blues ect.. really stoked about getting cold weather the day I wanted it.
I trimmed up 2 of the smaller plants tonight, I am really happy with how things look. I would say Blue Dream has a pretty high leaf to bud ratio, so trimming is a bit tedious. I took some cool pics of one of the girls tonight.
on a side note, I smoked some of the scissor hash and I am fading fast....
