Read what people say pages 1-5 of this thread. lol......... It's one of the easiest strains to grow. It recovers from almost anything.
And if you get the right phenotype, it smells like blueberry muffins.
I want some of THAT!! I love me some blueberry!! Blueberry pie...blueberry preserves...blueberry cobbler...blueberry cheesecake...blueberry coffee...what movie are you thinking of RIGHT NOW? Hahaha!!

Not as much as it would seem. I usually only give a total of 10 gallons of nutrient/water per feed.
The Blue Dream takes the most obviously. She gets about 2-3 gallons of water herself.
I do not water my large plants till runoff. Unlike most people. I just feed them what I know they will take in.
It works very well for me.

That particular post you quoted was about my Blue Dream......
But I hope one of us has a BLUE pheno of the BBYY... lol
I crossed one of mine with GPD yesterday. Today the pistils are half the size or less. and shrinking. No color change as of yet. but just basing it off the rest of the pistils on the plants. i got a shit ton of seeds gonna be produced.

Yeah, we need to breed the hell out of these Blueberry Yum Yum's bro! I know you had mentioned that your going to make a few crosses with her. And I had planned on it aswell. 1 being because she has super good structure. 2 she is faster to flower I've noticed. 3 just looks super good all the way around!

Depends on what you mean..
Color? no too early for that, most won't start changing till the 5th-7th week of flower.
Seeded? yes. showing signs after only 12 hours when the lights came on.
And the temp drop is not for only color, but sugar production. I was reading an article about a grower who used 15 degree temp drop throughout flowering with a 6% increase in THC.
He ran the same strain twice. First without temp drop. tested 15% THC, all the same growing conditions as the second but adding a 15 degree temp drop at night.
Second grow tested 21%.
And I'm going to use The Rev's darkness method to increase even more.
Just wait till I test the Blue Dream.... You know the HSO that's supposed to top at 18% under optimal conditions! lol.. I can do better, IF these methods will truly work. lol

Bro, I barely dabbed the brush into the pollen, and flicked it on the top and painted it in nice.
Using a blue brush so i can see when the pollen is spent on the brush.
I will have the number of seeds estimated on the last page. without hitting them again. I have so much pollen to use. AND I will still have some left for the BXing.
Next grow, I'm putting all the plants that need to be BX'd in the closet for the week of pollination.
Going to use just the 150w for the week, so I can keep the door closed.
I will put 2 fans in on each end of the closet blowing on the plants.
I will literally blow pollen into the air with the fans on, shut the door, and wait a week.
Once the week is up, Unplug the fans, open the door, and spray the whole thing down in water.
Move the plants to the tent and let them produce their massive amounts of seeds seeds seeds. No bud will be salvagable on those.. seriously. lol......
My plan is 1 of each strain(Best pheno I see). I can produce a mass amount of seeds from 1 small plant.(I'll show you pics of the Cotton Candy tomorrow. lol...)
This way I can grow out and paint other pollen on other strains, working on multiple new crosses and stabilizing others at the same time.

No need to run them all in the closet when I can use the 8x4 for starting all the seeds I want to, and a new 4x4 tent for new strains.
This will help me save a little and NOT start like 200 seeds at one time. lol... Cause that's what I initially intended on doing. HAHHA. DUMB.
