You sure are right about that!
How’s the smell? Would that give it away?

@Gpaw It really doesn’t have a cannabis smell to it. Kinda hard to tell when I got 2 flowering BD plants on the other side of the wall at week 8

See what happens when you start talking genetics out loud?
So I am testing out some clippings of both Blue Dreams and I am like… That taste like a seed. I roll my hands through the buds (yes I licked my fingers like beaters afterwards, dont judge me) and out pops these from both plants. They don’t look hermish and they aren’t infested in the buds. We will find out if the rest of the buds have them too… if soo I don’t think it is herm from some kinda light leak. So…
" I gotta feeling (dunt dunt dunt) that tonight is the night we gonna be the chop night…" I think we have created Freaky Blue or Freaky Dreams. Am I upset? Nawww… I just see a opportunity to play with genetics earlier than planned. So we have plenty of new to talk about in the future! I’m gonna pop one of these boogers today to see what we got.
So I am open to suggestions of what to do now with the good material left over but it wont be in buds… Edibles for a year? Tincture bottles stacked to the ceiling? @Papalag Make Hash?

Split it up make hash and tincture
From the tincture you can purge the alcoholic and have RSO
Tincture added to coconut oil is easy to bake with
I use tincture to make Cana sugar
It’s a good problem to have

So should i process the plant as I would if it was just bud I.E. Wash it let it dry then freeze it? I gotta go look through your stuff on here…

Yes that’s what I do
I freeze fresh clippings and wash 3 x’s
I prefer a slower speed on the drill

Update on smell. Once I chopped the branches and let it dry some it gives off a sweet mustard type of smell if you ask me.
When I went to chop it yesterday I open the tent and the negative pressure let go and the plant shook. The pollen that came off the plant look like a WWF wrestler walkout with smoke Hehe. Yeah I gotta lotta wiping to do… lots…
…and if i want to continue with genetics I am probably looking at buying a small metal building or something.l This foobar has taught me a lot about pollen.

I know exactly what you mean, I’ve been casting about as to what I should do as well…
Currently I’m thinking dual ‘lung rooms’ for ‘pollen and no pollen’ sides.
Recently I found a shop air cleaner, 450cfm, filters down to 1 micron (pollen is about 25 micron).
Annoyingly expensive ($350) but would certainly help contain and clean up the air, to a point.

I need one of those. Dealing with the pollen kills me. I don’t want to stop but, I am living on allergy med 24/7/365.
Do you have info on it to share? if so can you pm me.

No Problemo!
It’s a Canadian company but they do extensive mail-order business out of Reno.
There’s 2 filters, the inner teal colored bag is washable (Youtube video).
and a pleated furnace type exterior filter.

My friends! WOW What a busy week growing cannabis. Every time I sat down to type this out there was something else to do! Trim, chop, collect seeds, clean grow tents, move next plants around, carrying gallons upon gallons of water out to the grow house…. Yeah….
Let’s jump in!
This grow, even after growing hundreds of cannabis plants for 20 years ago , this by far has been the most learned grow I have ever had. I think the most interesting piece of data are the weights of each plant.
Early on I discovered that one of my Blue Dreams in octo was starting to look a lot like the gorilla glue plant from my first grow when I came back. They looked a lot alike. Stunted growth, yellowing of leaves and what appears to be difference in weight. The pots were packed too tight and turned into a brick. I have since corrected this issue in other pots I have filled up since and all the plants look healthy and on point.
Gorilla Glue Plant Grow 1.
GGweight first line grow one.
Blue Dreams Grow 3 – Grow 3
The only difference is I caught on to what was going on in this grow and beat the hell out of the bag to loosen up the soil and got it back on track. While plants start to turn yellow towards the end of flowering grown in a pot, Octopots plants look healthy looking as hell at 67 days of flowering. You even start to question if the plant is ready to chop. Trichomes though hold the answers of when.
Blue Dream Clone
** BLue Dreams Seed"
RUNTZ
I have also thrown out all the data and conclusions of 3 plants vs 4 plants in 5x5 test and I going to repeat the test. Of course, the second grow was better as the pots were not packed like bricks. So, all that data is equal to NULL in my book.
We had 3 plants this grow. A Clone Blue Dreams, A seed Blue Dreams and a Runtz. They were chopped at 67 days 69 days and Runtz @ 60 days. No weight on the runtz has it is still hanging in the grow house and hopefully trimmed today
Blue Dreams Seed & Clone
I did purchase a 19inch trimmer from Visosun last month from 150$ and quite happy with it. 2 plants processed in 30 mins compared a week or more of off and on trimming. Yes, it does whack a lot of shake that would normally be left on the bud because of laziness but when you have 5 plants to process who cares! plenty of buds everywhere!
One of the most wonderful things I discovered about using the trimmer was the amount of KIEF that this thing collects on the edges. Two cannabis plants produced all this kief on the rim of the trimmer.
Oh yeah! Added to a bong hit and I think I am peter pan and can fly… 
Buds look nice a trimmed once they are processed
So… Since I have about 10 oz of clippings, I do not see the need to process the buds right now to remove the seeds and make hash out of it too. The buds went into mason jars yesterday and I will get the seeds out of them via grinder when I want to smoke or if I want to make more hash. Speaking of hash. I was discussing earlier of what to do with my whore buds that got pregnant… I also notice while watching tons of videos on the subjects that the makers didn’t look to happy holding a drill with a paddle for 20 mins at a time. I saw the Bubble machine online but thought of it more of snake oil product but while chatting with some of my friends in PM’s the damn bubble machine kept coming up in the conversations with people that I consider very knowledgeable. So what did I do? Yeah bought one! Haven’t used it yet but I am sure I will write about it when I do. 10oz is sitting in the freezer waiting…
So the giant elephant in the room! The unexpected seed run. My friends I have learned so much about genetics in the last 45 days. I feel like I sat down in one of those matrix chairs and learned kung fu.
Out of trimming we have about 50-60 seeds from both female blue dream plants. That is enough of what I need right now. The runtz , which also has whore buds ( you were supposed to go learn bridge with the other females and yall just whored out…) will give me around 75 seeds to start with. I have ordered more blue dreams seeds as Im gonna push another seed run and push more blue dreams back into the line. I did not want to use the seeds as I had now as I did not want to breed cousins and breed the ” Tutankhamun” effect into the line.
I did pop one. Took two days in water and had long sprout and is in dirt now. VERY EXCITED is what I am. My friends any of you that want a few of these seeds to see what Freakshow / Blue Dreams plant can produce I welcome you to hit me up in pm with an addie to mail to and I will send you some free. One requirement though you have to give me feedback on things like germination time, veg time, flower etc… This will help me TREMDOUSLY as I have a limit, I can grow at one time, and it would take me like 3 years to do what 10 growers can do. SWING AS ONE SWORD! I plan to start as separate journal for it where we can dump in all our feedback., The official Name for the Strain will Be “Phreaky Dreams” & “Phreaky Runtz” . I kept the freak name theme in there but changed the spelling to point back to my old hacker years as a teenager.
Phreaker - A phreak is someone who breaks into the telephone network illegally, typically to make free long-distance phone calls or to tap phone lines.
There will be a follow up post of somethings I missed out but this is the high level stuff and where I am heading next… Onward we march!

@JoeCrowe To answer your quyestion I took two clones off the winner and grow buddy has them and has recloned them again. I will not be growing BD again until 2023 sometime. I got a lot of different strains to go through (and hopefully grab a male or two) in the process. The strains up on deck are…
Purple Kush
Zskittles
BlackBerry Kush
Tropical Cookie
Phreaky Dreams
Phreaky Runtz
Gold Leaf
Super Skunk
Super Silver Haze
Godfather OG
It will be a while before I grow a pure strain BD again except to breed. He is gonna keep it going next year though I think.
