Outdoor grow in a tropical climate 7-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Auto-flowering blue dream seed. What are your predictions for this grow? Time to harvest and size of yield? Thanks! :))
Hi there @natasha! Bluedreams harvest time is 8-9 weeks from the time it switches to flower! However this is phenotype specific meaning each plant could be slightly different so in order to best determine when to harvest i HIGHLY suggest picking up a 10$ handheld microscope from amazon and looking at the Trichomes through it aiming for a high % of them to be cloudy. Properly taken care of Outdoor BlueDream can grow up to 22 ounces per plant however with only 7-8 direct hours of sunlight on an autoflowering strain in your tropical climate you will most likely be seeing 8-12 ounces come harvest time. Just remember to Train her with LST to expose all of her undergrowth to valuable light! Hope this helps resolve your question Natasha! 😎
hey there , light is important but patience in more important ! I say 16 weeks maybe more, 120cm tall for 56g of bud + some extra ... i hope ! good luck and don t be shy to ask more questions ! 🚀
With the 7-8 hours light that shoukd help make her bigger and yield better than an artificial light. But being an auto i don't think its uncommon to get between 60-100 grams per plant. I personally believe the bigger the pot, the more room the roots will have and the bigger the plant can get and the better the plant can yield.
Happy vegging ✌️
@OutForReal, thanks for the great info but sadly growing indoors is not an option for me. Maybe one day I can invest in a nice grow tent :) but for now I am at Mother Nature's mercy!
Hello I've seen people telling you to grow indoor without even knowing that you live in a High humidity area , my local growshop advise peoples to grow indoor in a room with an AC on because of 2 things :
-1st) The RH in a tent even with a good intake and output your RH will barely get under 60% (optimistic value as 75% with airflow is not uncommon )
-2nd) A normal day can be around 29°C outside so it's higher than recommended temps , but in the tent you can add 3 to 5 more °C which is a good temps for Co2 use only.
But something smart you could do is to grow them outside during the daytime and put them under a light during 6h in the night time 😁
@Natasha,Ok I get you ! I had auto grow straight in 12/12 with like you only 8h of direct sunlight and I had a nice quality harvest but a low yield. If you don't need to smoke one everyday then it will be a correct harvest 😁✌️🏼

wow , you are asking for a complete growing guide, and thats to much to write it down in one comment. I would recommend you to visit some helping sites, ther you have a lot of pictures and articles to read. i will post in the comments a link
or you ask @spinnergrow . iam sure he shares his knowledge of growing in tropical areas😃

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks so much! I love growweedeasy.com that site is a wealth of information. It's good to hear from the larger community of growers, too. Best wishes!
2 Weeks old
2 sets of leaves
6 inches of stretch re-buried in soil
--------
-North facing balcony, partial shade.
-Tropical climate, northern hemisphere.
-7-8 hours direct sunlight daily.
Week one was rainy at times so I spent a lot of time moving her around to shelter her from the rain. Lots of sunshine, too, which she is thoroughly enjoying :)) So far, so good!
