Requirements for Growth

The Lucid Blue Strain has a more uplifting and euphoric high than most other marijuana strains. Like all “Dream” strains, the Lucid Blue Strain tends to stay at a medium height, making it well-suited for indoor gardens.

The Lucid Blue Strain grows well in Mediterranean climates (i.e. California, New Zealand, South Africa) that are both sunny and dry; so if you do plan to grow the Lucid Blue Strain indoors, make sure to cycle the air inside your grow space every 5 minutes and keep your lights about 24 inches from the top of your canopy at all times.

The Lucid Blue Strain is a particularly resilient plant and has a naturally robust resistance to pests, molds, and diseases. It can handle high levels of nutrients better than most other strains and performs well in overly-warm environments too. The Lucid Blue Strain’s reputation for being reasonably forgiving makes it an ideal strain for beginner growers.

However, we always recommend taking preventative measures against pests & molds.

The Lucid Blue Strain also responds well to pruning and other low-stress training (LST) techniques like SCROG & SOG.

The Lucid Blue Strain also does better in larger containers. However, we still recommend starting the Lucid Blue Strain in small containers and transplanting them into larger containers after about a month.

This extra step will help strengthen the roots and ultimately increase the overall yield at harvest.

Indoor growers should try to maintain a temperature of around 74 – 78 degrees Fahrenheit inside their grow space and keep the air circulating.

The Lucid Blue Strain also tends to be a thirstier strain than most and therefore requires more frequent watering so be sure to keep an eye on the dampness of your substrate.

You can increase your yield, and the overall health of your plant, by allowing the substrate to almost dry out in between waterings. This measure will help encourage root growth and lead to a more vigorous outcome.

Always make sure to calibrate your pH meter properly, and always adjust the pH of your water so that the run-off water measures around 6.0.

Make sure to also allow adequate time for flushing to remove any residual mineral salts that may have accumulated during flowering.

We recommend that soil growers flush the Lucid Blue Strain for 10 to 14 days prior to harvest and that hydroponic growers flush the Lucid Blue Strain for 7 to 10 days prior to harvest.

In general, longer flushes tend to produce better flavors and aromas without decreasing yield.

Lastly, be patient. The Lucid Blue Strain is a HUGE yielder when the buds have the time to fully develop so make sure to monitor the trichomes closely under a 100x microscope and give them time to mature and start to turn amber before harvesting.

Be prepared for a big harvest too. In fact, it may be a good idea to reach out to some trusted friends and enlist their help during the trimming process to help speed things along.

How to Start Seeds of

Lucid Blue Strain

You can start your seeds in damp paper towels, coffee filters, napkins, or seed starter plugs. Simply dampen the medium with distilled water, place the seeds on the medium, and store in a warm, dark place for 3-5 days.

Once your seeds have sprouted, be sure to transfer them into soil or some other type of substrate as soon as possible.

The Best Soil for Growing

Lucid Blue Strain

When it comes to starting young plants, we recommend Tupur Mix by Royal Gold.

Tupur Mix is a coco fiber-based soilless medium that contains a heavy amount of perlite; and nothing else.

In other words: It's the PERFECT growing medium for seeds, clones, and young plants.

Keep in mind that while mature plants LOVE stuff like seabird guano and earthworm castings, whereas younger plants prefer clean, well-draining soil; and a light nutrient regimen that gets progressively stronger as the plant grows.

That's why we love Tupur Mix - it allows for MAXIMUM control over your feeding regimen!

This substrate is designed to let you feed your plants as often as possible without overwatering or burning your plants.

These unique factors make Tupur Mix ideal for young plants in containers, automated watering systems, drip-to-drain, ebb-and-flow, deep water culture, and aquaponic gardens.

Tupur Mix strikes the perfect balance between drainage and moisture retention while still allowing for adequate aeration to prevent water logging.

How to Plant Clones of

Lucid Blue Strain

When repotting a plant, the substrate should always come out of the smaller container in one piece.

Another key to transplanting clones is to make sure that the substrate in the new container is saturated with water to allow you to pack the soil down around the plant once it's been transplanted.

When to Top Your

Lucid Blue Strain

We recommend topping your plants when they're about 24 inches tall and before they begin flowering.

Growers who choose to employ low-stress training techniques (SCROG or SOG) may end up topping multiple times.

Topping a plant temporarily deprives it of growth horomones called auxins that are present in the tips of the shoots and regulate vertical growth. In the absence of these hormones, the plant begins to grow horizontally for a few days until the auxins recover.

This "horizontal growth" leads to the development of multiple meristems that can each eventually support a large flower.

That's why topping is a widely accepted practice that has been shown to dramatically improve yields.

Possible Side Effects of

Lucid Blue Strain

Marijuana consumption may trigger adverse effects in some people. Less experienced consumers are more likely to experience side effects, including but not limited to:

Dry Mouth
Dry or Red Eyes
Anxiety
Paranoia
Dizziness
Hunger
Increased Heart Rate

In general, these effects dissipate after a few minutes as your body metabolizes the THC.
