That’s quite big! 
Would you advise flipping early indoors, 3-4 weeks veg from seed?
I’ve never tried Blue Dream yet but sure am excited to search what you described. 
I really like blueberry.

Indoor, I would train the plants outward in veg to fill 75% of the total allowable footprint, them flip to 12/12. They need support, trellis or poles. The structure is lanky. It will flop over when the buds put on weight.
Blue Dream was super popular in the SoCal dispos when I lived there in the 2000’s. Anyone over there at that time definitely tried it. It was one of my favorites. Some people hate on it.
The aroma is like slightly sweet blueberry and sandalwood. Energetic, giggly effect (for me anyway).
It is definitely a classic.

The juxtaposition of those is really cool: narrow leaf on the far left, broad leaf on the far right and something in between the two in the middle. Was that intentional?

No. I started with the three in the bed arranged that way to put the shortest plant uphill (right) and the stretchiest plant downhill (left). Big Girl just happened to volunteer up where she’s growing on the downhill side.
If Big Girl had popped up on the uphill side, I’d have to take off at least 4 ft from the top of her. To the far right of the bed about 40 to 50 ft, there’s a 6ft wood gate that goes to the front yard. Another 40 ft beyond that is the sidewalk and then the street.
As it is now, I can see Big Girls tops from the sidewalk, but there are trees close behind and to the left of Big Girl, just out of the picture. Looking at it from 80ft away, the tops are not discernable with all the green tree leaves. If not for that, I would have to take about 2 to 3 ft off her top where she’s at now.

The happiness of standing next to a plant taller than you never gets old, does it?

Pollination will begin. This weekend, Big Girl and Genie will get different crosses dusted on a few different branches. BD(JD6) looks like she’ll be ready in another 2 or 3 weeks. Kristi has a long way to go. MAC1 is taking the transplant very well.

Made some coconut oil with 110g Genie / 4.5 cups oil output. I WAG it at to be in the range of (75 to 100)mg / tsp. It’s works. Night night…

Man, that JD6 is bout draggin the ground.
Did she take damage, or just being shoved aside by the monster of a volunteer?
Love the night photo!

It’s a branch I tied outward to a bamboo pole to open it up a little. If I hadn’t allowed the volunteer to grow there, the BD would be way larger. As it is, Big Girl shades the BD from about 2pm til sunset. Just the south face gets better exposure.

If only she’d have volunteered herself in a slightly different location!

The areas to the left and right of the raised bed, from the fence to about 4 or 5 ft inward has the best sun exposure in the yard. I couldn’t have given it a better spot. It popped up right where it is, and it was female. Only problem is she’s one of the biggest plants i’ve seen IRL

They all have pretty good smell. Dank with one a hint of sweet and one a hint of incense or perfume.
