Outdoor Magic Dragons - Late UK Greenhouse Grow

[gtron]

Mossy,
No blame on your part being implied, I was just stating my observation.
I sprouted out 4 to try out. The took off very quickly and had a very rapid growth
At 2 weeks above the ground, the temps here went crazy and my box hit 93f/34c during the day and only dropped to 84f/28c at night.
All four severely wilted after 3 days of that, one of them bounced back but was a male.
I am not sure how many varieties would have done well in that temp but I assumed it was the heavy indica dominance of the plants I got.
I say that because the leaves were very round and fluffy in appearance, I was really excited by how they looked, so chalked it up to too much heat.
I had some sativa dominant onyx that were in the same box, same age that made it through the heat.
I am still new to growing so my conclusion may be rooted in correlation rather than causation.
I am eagerly waiting for cooler weather to try them again as I really want to try them out!
I will let you know how that grow goes.

Totally why I shut down the indoor for the Summer to hard to keep the temps down to a reasonable level. I find the high temps cause the roots to go brown, the plant wilts wicked and down they go. I am hoping this year to install a water chiller and pump and a second refridgerator to try and keep the tank temperature down below 75 degrees F. I have one apartment sized fridge that I store my seeds in and it gets stressed when the indoor temperature goes above 95 degrees. I am hoping to find a commercial cooling compressor that I can incorporate or a straight ahead water chiller. If I can't find either reasonably then I will just get another fridge and give it a fresh air inlet from outside and run a cooling coil through it. Until I get this set up I will be closing my indoor operation down for the Summer.

By the way I grew about 70 Magic Dragons last year with very good success. the type has no problems except that several medical users complained it was a little too strong for them.

Too Strong??
Ha, i would love "too strong", means less I have to use.
I wouldn't mind one bit if I only had to take a 1/4 hit to achieve my goal.

 

[swampman]

doing a hell of a job villain they all look great :thumbs:

that one on the left reminds me of this one i had under a 400w hps in a 1.5 gal pot and was 77gr dry

When you take on a new medical user sometimes they find the pot way too strong. that is why I grow BC Big Bud. I think it is way crappy but newbies think it is just right . All you wicked seasoned stoners would have no problem with it of course.

Sorry for the late replies, something happened to my keyboard and constantly typed C

Mine were outdoor Jan/feb..Magic and PAK really seem to Prefer the cold seasons...

IF you get a lot of cloudy/dank weather..don't fert..and they will stand almost anything...:thumbs:

Lovely Growing..they are good and green and healthy...:clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks Mossy, while searching afn for various stuff i've come across Pak a few times and they sound like another good seed for my lat. only thing is I don't know what it stands for and searching for Pak is too short! Pakistani?
I actually wrote a note down a few months ago about not ferting in shite weather, think you said that in red eyed C's thread? and thats what i've stuck to, they have only had 2 doses of grow so far
Nice to know you think they look good :thumbs:

Thanks Sniper, if I can get half the buddage of your grow i'll be a happy man, fantastic looking plant, hopefully i'll have to get my fishing rods out to hold the weight of bud up

Thanks for all the likes everyone :thumbs:

Beautiful day here today so heres a pic of my light and tent setup

 

[Villain]

Interesting fact I forgot to say about the short plant out of the 3 (and also take a pic off) is that when she germinated she grew up, then done a full circle before growing upright again, when I re-potted I burried the circle, cant wait to dig that one up and have a look at the root systen
