Okey Dokey! Let's get this Dragon grow thread going........................had a quiet couple of days off to think about/research the art of Dragon-training. The genetics are there and it's just a question of getting the best out of them? Been fun looking at other AFN members published growing techniques successful or otherwise!
On side note:
(Nice to have my own 'personal use' stash again, it's been a help going thru all the threads searching for Dragon traits. 94g of bud and 60 grams of first class trim dry is my best from a single plant so far! Small spuds yeah! I'm happy thou, it's organic (as far as I'm concerned!) and I enjoyed growing Wilma with a fine group of reprobates you could only find here at AFN!)
So the boring bit (for those of you who don't know?)
Equipment:
Secret Jardin DR90 Grow tent
Sunmate 110w CFL
X3 189 Pro LED Lighting Unit
4" Rhino carbon filter
4" RUK Extraction fan
Intake fan - Passive still
SMSCom Dual fan controller
Cheap (Aldi's) Dehumidifier
Generic Hygrometer/Clock
15l Airpots (more than likely other sizes too!)
Consumables:
Root Riots
Plagron Light Mix Compost
Bio-Bizz Nutrients
(Been to the grow shop to see if 'Product X' aka Acti-Vera from Bio-Bizz is available yet, should be here in this country very soon, it's available in mainland Europe only at the moment.)
Tap Water (pH 7.3 straight from the tap)
Growth Technology Liquid Silicon (pH up)
pH meters:
Soil and Solutions - Lultron PH212
Run off (if needed)- pH Essentials meter
Genetics:
Dragons muha...:xlaugh:
The Plan:
5 Stone Dragon's SD's
3 Blood Stone's BS's
I'm going back to the: soak beans and then into root riots, method and then 3 of each into the 15l airpots.
The 2 extra SD's are for TA tinkering! What's TA? Tiered Airpots, it was the subject of some intense debate a few months back and I have a few ideas to try out on that front! I'm going to hold back on the Black Stones for a while as I'm going to be short of growing space until I commit to a new tent.
H Reading..?:
Strange as it may seem, I have tried to sex the SD's using an old (state of the art in the 70's!) 100X works microscope! Only found one definite contender for a male.................sorry....................they seem to be mainly female? If I can find the thread/article, I will link it here. (
) Interesting stuff (said in a Germanic tone)?
The Blood stones are unsexed, pot luck for me on those!
I think I have covered the basics here, beans will be going into soak this evening, any thoughts? Then please feel free to chime in!

Let the wrymlings/whelps arise!!
no offence to fucunditliatie challenge'de peeps!
, they will be ok, actually there may be a female for them all to try and impregnate!
i would like to watch, if you don't mind? I have three dragon cross's going
Got all excited because i have these Jamaican land race seeds with great strong genetics but a limited growing space so of course reliable sexing without wasting time and expensive nutes is of great interest to me. Still your plants both male and female are looking healthy so you'll at the very least end up with some bud to smoke and some great pollen stored for cross breeding.
