Good morning, all. It's been a while since I've started a new grow journal here on 420 as I've been having vision issues since April. I'm still having vision issues but I've decided to start a new journal where I will probably post shorter updates, i.e. one strain's update at a time.
I switched to growing hydroponically from ProMix as I just could not get rid of the bugs or the PM in my previous grows. My husband's cousin works for a licensed producer here in Ontario and he said the best way to get rid of problems is to get rid of the dirt. So, that's what I did and I've been pretty happy since.
I grew 6 plants the hempy way from May to now with the only problem being some pH issues, which I think I'm better with now. The 6 plants I grew are all now hanging and waiting to be trimmed and jarred. I'm hoping for a good yield this time.
The first strain I'm growing this round is Blue Dream. I've grown Blue Dream before and quite liked it so that's why I'm growing it again. Here is some info on the strain:
Blue Dream strain is a Sativa-dominant hybrid, which originates from Santa Cruz, CA. This cannabis strain is a cross between Haze and Blueberry, provided by an unknown breeder. However, thanks to a famous cultivator DJ Short, this strain became much easier to grow without losing its effects. Nowadays, this version is also known as Azure Haze.
Blue Dream Strain Information
The average THC level of this weed is about 20%-22%, in addition to the CBD level, which ranges between 1.7% - 2%. Despite its popularity, Blue Dream weed strain is not recommended to novice smokers due to its high potency and powerful cerebral effects. This strain can be the right choice during nighttime or daytime, whenever one wants. Moreover, it also deserves attention from medical patients and those who look for recreational use.
Another feature of this strain is its delicious fragrance and flavor. Usually, it meets the consumer with a distinct sweet berry smell reminiscent of its parent Blueberry, with spicy hints. At the same time, the taste corresponds to the scent and reminds of berries with a perfect balance between sweetness and spiciness.
It is worth mentioning that there are a few options for consumption, which also include cooking. The high from eating lasts longer and provides overwhelming effects. Therefore, it is not the wisest choice for those who are new to edibles.
Blue Dream Strain Effects
This marijuana wouldn’t be so popular if it didn’t have a remarkable mix of euphoric cerebral and calming body effects. First of all, the high provides a boost of creativity and motivation, enhances focus, and delivers a fit of energy. Simultaneously, the person feels a pleasant body relaxation, which doesn’t glue to the couch. All of these causes a mildly euphoric high that ideally suits for creative activity.
When talking about medical use, Blue Dream strain is known for its pain-relieving properties and psychological influence. It can be of great use while facing stress, anxiety, and depression. On the other hand, when overdone, it may cause paranoia.
Growing Tips and Info
It is pretty popular among both experienced and beginning growers because it isn’t very demanding. It can be raised indoors and outdoors, but due to its height of about 3-4 meters, it is mostly grown outdoors. The flowering cycle takes about 9 to 10 weeks outdoors and 7 to 9 weeks indoors and rewards with a decent yield. When grown outdoors, the best time to harvest is between mid-September and early October.
Unfortunately, the first 2 seeds I planted of this strain didn't sprout so I'd like to introduce you to Bianca - Take 3 who was born on October 7:
