~BLUE *Dream •WaterFARM•~

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Here is the blue dream. I dropped the screen today. She is a really pretty.View attachment 4833268View attachment 4833270

She is really pretty . I love how she grows like a ball. I have had ones that look like that. Like a head of lettuce. She looks like a winner! How many times did you top her?

Love the changes Amber, is that a larger tent too? I thought you had a narrower gorilla tent. I'm doing okay I think, it's hard to be sure anymore.

yes, a larger tent! It really seems to be helping. It’s a 4 by 4. I still have the 4x2 . I am thinking of using the 4x2 to hang them to dry . Are you still in lockdown? It’s a very difficult time, your not alone feeling like you do. It feels like when we first started the pandemic there was a lot of talk of counseling and free help and resources to help people cope and then it just disappeared like aren’t we still needing help? It’s a compete numbness I see and sometimes feel. I feel so bad for the younger generation and suicide rates are high. My coworker cousin died of a drug overdose. He was only 19 and took a couple oxy but they were laced with fentanyl . The new norm isn’t so easy to get comfortable with. I have given up hope on getting the vaccine at this point . I don’t have time to compete with everyone else and no one cares that our oncology staff and patients have been completely forgotten. I have managed this far so will continue to soldier on and keep up the safe practices that have worked so far . I have been working with direct patient contact the entire pandemic and have not contracted the virus!! Fingers crossed I don’t get it and I am offered the shot soon . Anyway,always try to stay positive and keep focused on things that will lift your spirits . Your plants look spectacular !

last night when I couldn't sleep I did some gardening and super cropped the blue dream. Her back corner branches were too long. I didn’t mean to super crop but it happened because I was driving her to go in an opposite direction from her growth pattern and snap. Not sure how bad it was and hope she recovers .

the garbage can I keep
My water stored in needed to be cleaned because after a while the water gets weird ugly long clear looking pieces of floating things . Not sure what causes it. It’s the second time it has happened. So I scrub the plastic container with dish soap and a sponge and then spray it down in the shower with hot water. I filled it back up with R/ O buddy Tap and then fed the girls a gallon each. Placed an air bubbler into the water bucket to keep it aerated.

She sprung right back up and now the wedding cake is getting too high so I had to tuck her under. I have no more squares left in the front corner now and the screen is filling up very quickly. 17 days of flowering now.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Wedding Cake was starving to death this morning. Her tank was in E and her PPMs needed to be adjusted up to 900.

I only topper once, she seems to be responding nicely to the screen.

I started the flush on the White Widow. Trichs are cloudy and starting to see amber. Yeild looks to be on the smaller side, but she is frosty.

Hey Doc
Things are good on my end. I got my med card so I'm legal to grow five plants. That's a good feeling.
I've go two plant close to harvest, and they are starting to look it. Guessing 7-10 days, we will see.

I've also got 4 different strains started, one of which is a blue dream.


So far so good. I'm trying some different grow methods, we shall see how that goes.
Hope all continues to go well for you. Stay safe.

Looks really great ! Nice Trichomes , they look so delicious and ripe! Good luck with the babies. That blue dream looks a lot
Like the ones I grow. Congrats on the med card.take care and stay safe!
That looks amazing. Wow!

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

What a beauty!

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Lots of tucking and weaving and snapping and untucking and Unweaving and lots and lots of trimming!

Early morning gardening before her lights went off and a Rez change. These glasses work great and especially in the morning when my eyes are still adjusting from the nights sleep.



Lots of trimming under the screen and taking lots of smaller less developed branches out of the playing field .

I hope this will accelerate her growth . I really like the looks of the canopy top right now and hoping the stretch is finally over.

Wedding Cake is starting to stack nicely and the blue dream is lagging behind . I anticipate an extra couple weeks of growth for Blue Dream.

This lil shop vac works really well for cleaning the tent up, especially all those tiny little leaf particles that are so hard to pick up by hand.

I noticed how much blue light the 360degree floor fan is projecting so I put some black fabric over it.

Have a nice weekend!

Looking great Doc!!! I will be harvesting the white widow today. I will post pics

it's funny with those giant ass cabbage leaves on the wedding cake it looks a lot smaller than a 4x4 tent. You pulled 1lb from the 2x4 with one plant, I wonder if you'll be able to pull 2lbs from this one.

We're still in perpetual lockdown here, I've lost track of how many days it's been lol. I've been hearing rumors that this will continue in Toronto until at least April. It's nuts, I don't know how they expect us to survive and pay our bills if we cannot work. And as soon as they sent kids back to school they lost all credibility. I can't understand for the life of me how they think it's safe for kids to go to school but we cannot go to work. The vaccines are a depressing mess here. If I'm lucky my age group will be getting the vaccine in February 2022... our government is a complete joke! I'm sure we'll be wearing masks for the next two or three years.

I hope things change and it won’t be so bad. The lockdown nonsense is harsh. I am so sorry to hear it. I thought Justin was good. I guess he isn’t so great after all. I wish things turn around for the best for you and your fam. I can’t wait till this is over. I am very mentally deranged from
Wearing the mask. I don’t look at strangers the same way anymore . And constant evaluation of stores or places of intrest as Petri dishes of Covid bacteria . Can we do this or that? no, no , no .... not yet. It’s painful.

Am not sure what is going to happen with these plants. They look like stretchy outdoor plants because I guess I wasn’t quite sure how the light should be fixed in this 4x4 tent as opposed to the 4x2, so I raised it really high thinking it would cover more area but it makes them stretch so much. And now 4 weeks start of flowering and I give up, they just stretch and stretch with a bit of flowering. Who knows. Each day is a surprise. Your guess is as good as mine on yield. I am so bad at predicting it.

I’m told that the ability to contact trace is good in schools. Meanwhile there is no consistent testing within the staff or students so I don’t know what good any of it is. No schools really have the ventilation necessary to take care of that aspect either. Reduce transmission until a vaccine is widespread and we will get real control. Contact tracing and testing is the only way that we can have any kind of normal life so that it’s not spreading and mutating. Honestly it’s not unknown science, it’s just rusty. The part where it became political, that’s the problem. I got the second vaccine Friday, was sick all weekend, but fine today. I’m diabetic so I have been worried, going back in the classroom was anxiety for me!

Congrats on the vaccine ! Yeah whatever happened to contact tracing? I feel like everyday is Halloween with this mask on. Some people look better with the mask on and then some people take it off and they look really good. It’s going to be weird to see lips and teeth and smiles again or to stand close to someone again without thinking they are infecting you. I never like getting that close to people anyway so I hope they stay away from me and handshakes should be forgotten forever . They are disgusting and always have been. Nothing more repulsive than a wet clammy weak handshake.

Hang in there Amber, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Biden said the vaccine is going to be available to all US citizens who want it by May. I think you are going to be the first ones to return to some sort of normal. Might not be a bad idea to reach out to your local telehealth unit so you have someone to talk to. Our vaccine rollout is handled by the provinces and our premier (same as your governor) is our former crackhead mayor's older brother. So no surprise that he completely bungled the entire covid response. June 2nd, 2022 we'll get our chance to throw him out with the trash.

That plant looks almost sativa dominant phenotype with its thin leaves. On of my wedding cake is really stretchy too, though its leaves aren't as thin as yours are. I'm a little over five weeks in and it stopped stretching just after four weeks.

Thanks for posting the image and date. Your ladies look lovely!
I am very very concerned about the stretch going on in my tent . They keep stretching and the bud formation is way slower than what I usually get going on by now. I have a very good feeling that the light just is not strong enough in this 4x4 tent. Major problem. I measured the widths and length of the 2 ladies this morning -and they measure a tight 4x2. So my idea is to get my 4x2 up and move these bitches into the smaller tent and just blast them with light. I seriously can not bear to witness this small bud stretch formation any longer.,,,I need bigfat buds and I just don’t think I can pull it off in this larger tent. It’s going to be a dense jungle but I might get a much better yield. I think it’s worth the time. Then I will have to start thinking about another light for my 4x4. I am seriously considering going back to HPS and ballast.

Thanks, I think I might finally get a harvest from this damn room, we finished building it in July 2020 lol. I agree with your idea of switching back to the 4x2 with your current light. That timber light is 320 watts right? You were pulling impressive buds @ 40 watts per square foot in your 2x4 tent. Is it in the budget to add another timber light? That would put you at the same watts per square foot in your 4x4 as you had in your 2x4.

I don’t know if I want another Timber. It’s ok but i don’t like the dimmer.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

I moved the 2 plants into the 2x4. Hopefully they get big buds. No screen anymore and they are kinda sqwushed in there. I saw a deal for $230 free shipping for an HPS and MH and ballast with hood and timer that looked really tempting but then I would have to buy more fans and filters . Two tents means a lot more work and not so sure I want to do that. So now I have this 4x4 tent I want to get rid of. Lol

hey Doc,
fellow waterfarmer.
i just tried putting my tiny seedling in enough hydroton to cover a rapid rooter (2 inches maybe?) i want to see how it works with less media in the top res. i fed the roots right thru a middle hole so its' basically more of a dwc now.

looking good!
