This grow didn’t come easy, and it didn’t pretend to. Power went out. Light schedules drifted. pH readings lied.

The grower learned things late, fixed them later, and watched the plant decide what it could live with.

This Blue Dream run didn’t succeed because everything went right. It made it because the grower kept showing up. By week seventeen, this wasn’t about yield or technique anymore.

It was about finishing what was started.

Grow Diary

Weeks 1 & 2 — Vegetation

The seeds cracked without drama using the paper towel method and settled into coco cleanly. Early growth was steady and uncomplicated. No nutrients yet. Just distilled water and patience.

By the end of week two, the grower could see real development and felt confident enough to let the plant keep doing its thing.

Weeks 3 & 4 — Vegetation

This is where the grow stopped being theoretical. A prolonged power outage forced everything onto generator power. Light consistency disappeared. Temperatures dipped.

Transplanting happened during this stretch, and Fox Farm nutrients were introduced for the first time.

Ventilation didn’t exist yet. Fresh air came from opening the tent by hand, twice a day. Light schedules briefly slipped to around seventeen hours before being corrected.

None of this was ideal, but the plants stayed upright and kept growing.

Blue Dream Week 3Blue Dream Week 4

Weeks 5 & 6 — Vegetation

Generator power became routine. Feeding settled into something resembling consistency. The plants responded. Leaf color improved. Structure started to show itself. No topping, no training, no big moves.

The focus was keeping the environment stable enough to stop losing ground.

This was the point where the grower realized the plants were going to make it.

Weeks 7 & 8 — Flowering

The flip to 12/12 came in week seven. The grower wasn’t sure it was perfect timing and said so. Tiger Bloom entered the rotation, and early flower sites began to form.

In week eight, some light defoliation opened things up. Power issues caused at least one extended dark period, but the plants didn’t stall or throw stress signals. They just kept moving forward.

Weeks 9 & 10 — Flowering

Ventilation finally came online, and it mattered immediately. Exhaust and circulation fans brought humidity down into the low forties. Bud sites stacked with more confidence. Flower structure filled out.

By week ten, plant height was documented at roughly [116.84:cm]. The grower started thinking about flushing, but nothing was rushed.

Weeks 11 & 12 — Flowering

This was the calm stretch. The plants looked their best here. Healthy, aromatic, and filling in. A stale water smell raised concerns about moisture, so airflow was improved again. No mold or rot showed up.

There was minor leaf damage unrelated to the grow itself. Otherwise, the plants stayed clean.

Blue Dream Week 11Blue Dream Week 12

Weeks 13 & 14 — Flowering

Late lessons arrived. The grower realized earlier pH readings had been off and added Cal-Mag. Nutrient uptake improved from there.

Buds continued to swell, though the grower was realistic about how early issues likely capped final size.

Excitement crept back in during these weeks. The finish line was visible.

Blue Dream Week 13Blue Dream Week 14

Weeks 15 & 16 — Flowering

These weeks were about reflection. The grower named the mistakes plainly: inconsistent pH, delayed corrections, no early training, power instability. None of it was hidden or dressed up.

Despite that, the plants finished strong. Buds were formed, aromatic, and satisfying to look at. Anticipation replaced stress.

Week 17 — Flowering (Pre-Harvest)

The final documented week stopped just before harvest. No chop yet. No numbers recorded. Just pride, relief, and a sense that something important had been learned.

This wasn’t a perfect grow. It was a real one.

Detailed Observations & Grower’s Reflections

Blue Dream carried this run. Generator-powered lights, cold rooms, late ventilation, and pH confusion would have broken a less forgiving cultivar.

The grower learned, slowly and sometimes painfully, how much early decisions echo into late flower.

The plant didn’t care about intentions. It responded to actions.

Challenges & Solutions

Power outages shaped everything. Generator use forced flexibility and daily effort. pH errors limited uptake until corrected late.

Ventilation came online later than ideal but prevented moisture problems. Each fix came after the fact, but each still helped.

Blue Dream: Final Result and Strain Review
