Also known as: Blue Dream Auto, BD Auto
Overview
Blue Dream Automatic is an autoflowering version of the legendary Blue Dream strain, created by crossing the original Blue Dream with ruderalis genetics. This sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 60% sativa, 40% indica) maintains the beloved characteristics of its photoperiod parent while offering the convenience of automatic flowering. The strain was developed by Humboldt Seed Organization and represents a successful adaptation of one of cannabis's most popular varieties into an autoflowering format. Blue Dream Automatic exhibits the classic Blue Dream appearance with dense, chunky buds displaying bright green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes. Some phenotypes may develop beautiful purple and violet hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The plant structure remains characteristically sativa-influenced despite its compact autoflowering nature, featuring good branching and internodal spacing. This strain has garnered attention for its ability to deliver the full Blue Dream experience in a faster, more manageable package suitable for growers seeking quick turnaround times.

Growing Information
Blue Dream Automatic is considered easy to moderate difficulty for cultivation, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The strain has a total life cycle of 70-77 days from seed to harvest, with flowering typically completing in 9-11 weeks from germination. Indoor yields can reach 450-600g/m² (14-18 ounces per square yard), while outdoor plants typically produce 60-250g (3-9 ounces) per plant. The plants remain relatively compact at 70-110cm (28-43 inches) indoors but can stretch more outdoors. Blue Dream Auto thrives in warm, dry climates with temperatures between 68-79°F (20-26°C). It performs well both indoors with good lighting (300-350W LED recommended) and outdoors in Mediterranean climates. The strain shows good resistance to mold and pests, though proper ventilation and humidity control are important. Training techniques like LST work well, but topping should be done carefully due to the autoflowering nature.
