Dragon Meds McB's Russian Dragon grow

[MrMcbud]

I will certainly keep an eye,i notice her nute uptake soars if i keep her around 1.7 ec @ 5.9 and stays stable when adjusted to 1.8 @ 5.8,drinks mainly water then.
She is definately starting stretch and pistils now appear in pairs at the vary least.
definitely need to get her under a flowering spectrum,maybe...just maybe i can hold off with the HPS in favout of a Feroled panel if they are released soon enough.
Its damn hot here and will be for a few months still.
cab temps are borderline at 26-29'c and this running 350w cfl,the hps will add 10' to that easy pushing me faaaaar out of workable range,even with C)2 supplementation

the fiance and i made a concerted effort to fry the lady yesterday.
I forgot the ph and ec probes in the res,and she quite conscientiously plugged it into the 12v charger.
this is a no no as it pushes the 12v straignt thru the ec probe and electocutes your ladies!!!

luckily she plugged it into the light multiplug on a 12/12(on 7pm to 7am) timer,so i caught on when i got home and saw the meter was flat,but connected.
Pollen yield has about doubled since yesterday,really like this method of harvesting

400w HPS added


it had to happen,watching temps closely in case of problems.
Wish i could replace this with an LED panel
droopy branches are from another round of supercropping to manage vertical growth,another reason i put in the hps,to stop stretch and gain later budding and better penetration

some Russian Dragon X Santa Auto magic

Yup! Another male now for sure with me! This sucker really had me fooled...a males skeet for sure that will be saved! So still just have the roque rd female in same pot as the TD, and than still a possible one in 12/12 that hasn't shown it self... So the the RD thats in the TD was only fem that auto'ed... At least I got that bitch knocked up so maybe next time I'll have RD autos or at least some more beans to try in meantime I'm thinking I'm all done with the RD's for now.... Now it's on to the HighRise Gear, and some Durrty f2's, also haven't popped yet but have some blood dragon as well... Sorta sad the RD didn't work out as well I was hoping.... Have given up though completely on the ruskies so ultimately you didn't get any female eh McB?

Duurty F2's were the start of my dragon hunt.
bugged mossy until i got a dragon bond,which was eventually swopped for the Russian's due to late release of the duurty f2's.
Sorry to hear about the extra males,one or two are cool,but enough already
This one in my grow is a female,in early preflower,just not an auto
Mine isn't far enough into flowering for pollination yet,but i will definitely pollinate her with the RD pollen to stabilize the auto trait
Hence i have cloned my lady,so now i have 4 to work with,hoping to pollinate the clones if times allows as they will be easier to transport as i will scrog from day 1 after rooting

 

[MrMcbud]

But DAMN this HPS eats power!
15 units in a 12 hour cycle,thats more 1/3+ more than we use in a day ourselves

2 Clones are rooting and the third looks set to follow.
Another round of Fan leaf defoliation,lower site cleanup and supercropping of every bud baring branch.
Healing up super quickly and stem is starting to knot up nicely,water coming in at .25ec from bubbler so EC is lower,1.6 @ 5.9

 

[MrMcbud]

A little worried about light coming through the plugs im using in the bubbler.
will have to improvise a little.
Flowering is definitely moving along,more pistils daily and a really nice spicy hashy smell when supercropping
