I actually underfed nutrients...She came back extra strong once I started using RO water and proper feed schedule. She is drinking 1 gallon a day! I will be going dwrc on the next 4 which are in veg now. I really want to have a harvest every 2 months.

Looking great Darth, may want to hold off a bit, that Blue Dream looks like it has a ways to go yet (4-5 weeks?), flipping the smaller plants now may be a bit early if you don't have flowering lights on them. One thing I've done a few rounds when waiting for the flower room was flip them to 14/10 for about 10 days under the veg lights. That way they're pretty well done stretching by the time I put them in the flower room @12/12. Even then though, you have at least 4 weeks to go imo, a bit early to flip these one's.

The blue dream you see in bloom...Go a different strain for sure if time is crucial. This baby is at least 10 weeks veg and 5 weeks bloom as of today...That means at least 5 more weeks to go...20 week strain...She is taking her sweet ass fucking time. Still require advice...1st plant ever grown this far...never saw buds, this is awesome imo....too excited!!

Hey Darth, plant is looking good but way behind in flowering for 5 weeks in, what cut is that? Clone? Seed? I have an HSO BD from seed going and at Day 36 (5 weeks) last Sunday the buds/colas are like 2 weeks ahead of this one in bud development. Any chance you can add some 2700-3500k CFL or LED bulbs, could help speed things up a bit...

I agree , his LED is too high up his umols must be too low, you can tell because his buds aren't fattening up or gaining density they just look like they gonna be really fluffy. The sweet spot for LEDs is between 18 and 12 inches above the canopy.

IMO you should have at least two of those LEDS in that tent, your light only will give core coverage of acceptable flowering umols in about a 2 foot area(hung approx. 12 inches above), that area looks larger than 2 feet and if you look at the edges you can see a noticeable difference in brightness.

It is from seed...I think things are progressing better this week. Maybe I have too many tops...Time will tell.
