Day 45 Flower 12/12 (Black Russian)

Hey all things are going well i told work i don't want to be away they got pissed and i told them to send me home and in good time below you will notice some photos i didn't notices at first till i was looking over the photos and holy shit! lucky i did fly home i noticed two buds looked odd all the hairs had turned red.... and you will see in the photos they leafs looked like shit! so i pulled them apart and noticed damn BUD rot never had it before :) so hear is something to learn from again i only noticed it on the two buds but if i notices it on any of the others ill chop this girl down i don't want to lose her to rot so cutting sooner will be fine this strain is only meant to go 50-55 days

Very sad but shit happens if anyone has had rot before let me know what you ended up doing thanks all glad to be back :weed:

Beautiful bro this is why I love that HSO Blue Dream it just gets caked up in frost and stinks to high heaven!!! You been holding out me huh? lol Man I swear I have to get some more of these bean I dont care if I ever get the real clone or not I need a pheno from these beans as its just too damn good.

Hey bro somebody hit me with some great breeding info with s1 seeds. Since you have a great s1 pheno of this Blue Dream you can reverse you pheno and hit it with pollen from itself and create s2 seeds which in turn should be uniform to your pheno. Mostly every bean should be an exact copy of your keeper pheno

Damn bro I didn't even see the pics of the bud rot. That shit blows bro I just had to throw away a tester plant of Sfv OG bx. The buds were so big and swollen and with these temps been unpredictable in the garage I'm sure all that had to do with the rot. I had never had it before either and I 'll make sure I never do again. Dealing with big buds like this have to have major air flow and humidity has to stay down especially at night cus there's so much leaf they'll start sweating and stuff. Hopefully you can prevent anymore of this but it didn't surprise me cus those buds are huge!!! I know your glad you came back cus it might have been worse with you gone that long

Hey Brother that's awesome info i am sure the clone only strain is amazing but you still get a unreal strain from seed so you can't go wrong i also dropped some seeds in to water last yesterday when i got home the blue dreams are a couple i had in veg but didn't no if i was going to run so didn't want to waste them as its awesome smoke so just flowered them

Yeah I was lucky in away i didn't stay away for longer it would of been i total waste of good weed i think because she is so damn big i added another fan i removed a lot of the fan leafs to help with air flow i was reading up on it and in my mind it was just from high temps/bad air flow but it can also be from low temps with lights off mine have been dropping below 15 some days so I'll be putting my vegging lady's under a 400w and running them 20/4 so the room temps will be higher when my flower tent is off hopefully i don't want to pull her to soon as she still swelling but if i do it will give me the tent i need to set up my coco blue dream girls ill be happy to only grow the blue dreams for some times but like i said i did drop some beans :) only 3 thanks for dropping in my brother ill keep things up to date :weed::bigjoint:

Dude that sounds wicked! I'm using a 200l barrel as a res, how did you sort out your 'brain' for the recirculating system?

Sorry to hear about the rot aswell :(

@flowamasta check his thread out for super great details but this is the easiest system I've seen around. A pot sits inside of another pot the same size. Doing this should leave a gap between the two pots inside. The pot going inside of the other should not go to the very bottom of the pot it's going in or it won't drain right. The inside pot holds the medium and has lots of holes at the bottom of it for the water to drain and recirculate out the 2nd bottom pot. You should have and open and close valve connected to the bottom pot so it can recirculate the water back to the res. The plants are top feed from the res and to add more pots than one you just need more line and t-connectors to attach to the main feed line. Hope this helps some bro. It's very easy

All good brother the price i pay for having big buds ill need to keep a eye on the lights out temps thats the only thing i can put it down to that and the buds are very compact but there is air flow from the base and over the top so its odd also yeah the blue dreams are going well they only been flowered under a 400HPS :) first 3 weeks under a 250 then i change it to a 400

That girl is huge bro and you don't do a lot of defoil so lights out is what cause it I bet on it. All that leaf matter touching each other and sweating made that humidity rise. Plants that big need massive air flow or you have to defoil a lot of the leaves. I think if you would've scrogged her you wouldn't have had that problem as you defoil everything that doesn't reach the screen. I'm dying to see the Blue Dram run prolly won't be as big as the beasts but should fill that tent up with so,e major frosty buds and still harvest well. Train and fill that tent up with straight tops of buds :)
