Indoor My First Entry Into The Dragon Weyrs

[NekoSempai]

Dude! That is fantastiv news about your wifes relief from this strain. Looking gorgeous bro. That top cola is looking mighty fine too btw. Im going to have to plant some ET's next. Sounds like it will be as good or better of a sleep aid then the strain Im currently using for sleep

 

[tag60435]

Yeah, I'm pretty psyched about it. The simple fact that once she came to bed she didn't wake once for 8 hrs is a Godsend. Your body can work and repair with less sleep but the mind needs it's down time. She felt good this morning, better than she has in months.

GA6, again I must say thank you. My wife is in great spirits these last few days. I have been snatching buds, and she has had 3 consecutive nites of full sleep. She asked for a vape earlier this morning and is in the office just jammin on her laptop and blastin music. I literally have not seen her like this for a year. Thank you. The bad news though is that Ramoth will be getting the axe sooner rather than later. I will begin selectively harvesting branches to begin drying for her use. Ramoth still has 4 buds with developing seeds so those branches and the plant overall need to be maintained as long as possible to ensure viable seeds. I will leave the main Cola as long as possible as well, just to see how fat I can get her.

Faranth is looking great and will be allowed to run longer for better development. She needs to add bulk to the beautiful buds has.

But armed with this new knowledge about how the ET affects my wife, I will be growing these as a staple from here on out.

I'm really glad to here it helps out, I was almost gonna stop working on her? I hope you grow her to your hearts content!

So lets do an update. Day 70 for Ramoth and she was beheaded this morning. I took her main stem and the next 2 branches down. I left all the lower level branches to gain a little more maturity and to let the seeds finish up. Reducing her stature also allowed me to place her back up closer to lighting to finish those buds off.

Faranth is at day 65 and is still trucking along. She has received water only for the last 2 feedings, but will be put back on a lighter bloom nutrients load for several more feedings before finishing in 15--25 days from now on water only. All her leaves got the crunchy edges so I will ease her out.

Overall impressions at this point. Great. The ET Dragon has a great germination rate, and grows into a small to med size bush with a great open structure and leaf/bud ratio. All the plants that I've grown out showed sex pretty consistently between days 21 to 26 and then go onto flower out 1 main cola and 4--6 side branches with a fair amount of buds that get heavy enough to droop the branches. ET is not going to be a quantity plant, but rather a quality plant I believe. I began this grow hoping to find a good plant for a reliable comfortable buzz to enjoy. The ET is that, and more. Yield should be somewhere between 1 and 2 ounces on a 70 to 85 day time frame. (This is an estimate only at this point and I will confirm once Faranth is harvested and dried) I should be able to grow out 7 or 8 at a time in my 4'x4' tent so as an estimate, 1/2lb every 10 weeks.

But these ET's are great for sleep if this is an issue you need help with. My wife has had some sleeping issues since her diagnosis. She learned that the Amnesia we had would help get her to sleep but it didn't keep her down for the nite. She has not slept solidly through the night since beginning chemo. Until several nites ago. Long story short, we have found that ET not only helps get to sleep, but it keeps you there for at least 7 to 8 hrs. The result is waking up and actually feeling awake. You know that your body has had the time to restore, you feel it.

So for this reason, the Quality, I will be doing another run very soon. This will probably be the first strain that I reverse a fem to get me fem only seeds. But I do enjoy the regulars.

Fantastic work , Brother tag!!
And, I'm always excited to hear of medical relief from our beloved canna

If you'd like to make some glycerine tincture for your Lady, hit me with a PM. Its easy to make, and it is our go to medicine for sleep- best part is, it tastes like cake frosting... lolol

Keep up the great work, Bro!

I just got back from a long overdue visit with my Brother in law who has a severe issue with his back due to injurys from his racing days, dirt track stock cars, and as I am the "pothead" he asked what I thought about MM. he tried some for the pain but from what he told me, I think he got some Sativa dom from a street dealer and didn't care for the racy effects. told him he needed a good Indica strain. gave him some Blueberry Bliss and got a text thanking me. he sent me a text saying it did the trick. but he woke up a few times so I think I'll have to try some of these dragons for him. and now the wife knows and since it helps her Brother she O.K. with me growing now. win/win. they are looking great Tag, and thanks for the in-depth analysis of the wonderful medical properties of these. makes making a decision on what to grow a lot less trial and error

 

[tag60435]

One thing I have noticed in all my research on MM is the lack of just good plain explanations of results and feelings. Or the accurate compilation of facts and information in an easily understood manner. It frustrates me, so in order to ensure that I get my results and impressions concerning a plant and its strengths, weaknesses and growth habits/issues, I purposely allow myself to ramble. Catch a buzz and just concentrate on your thoughts and feelings as experienced during the grow. Then just put the conclusions in a post. Always strive to learn something and always remember to pass it on.

So, in light of my rant, and my current state of "heightened awareness" how about an update of sorts. Sorry but no Pics at the moment.

Day 73 for Ramoth. Or more appropriately what is left of Ramoth. She has been coming down branch by branch and all that remains are the 2 branches which each contain 2 buds pollinated and developing seed. There are additional buds but I will leave those to keep from any further disruption during seed maturation. I have moved some of the first buds into a mason jar with Boveda 62 pack and have been burping and sealing alternately to move to cure. I must say again though, I really like this plant so far. I am certain it will have much more to teach me in future grows.

Faranth is 68 days old. I think the first thing I should note about this plant is that it has been pushed hard with nutrients, and though I didn't killl her with it, I think I will tone down the nutrients and look for different results next grow. I am pleased with this grow, but feel I could have done a better job and will strive to get beyond the baseline established here. Faranth is starting to frost up better than my previous plants. As I am still a new grower this is all still new and exciting to me. First time growing out males and pollinating buds. First time cloning, photoperiods, topping and I'm sure I've missed something. I did just go up and trim off all the fan leaves below the main cola. Faranth looks cleaner and I also gave her a dilute nutrient mix. Small amount of CaMg+ and just a touch of Bio Bud. From here on out she just gets water once maybe twice then into a dark closet for 2 days. Pics soon.

Sounds like your having a good time growing these @tag60435

I enjoy reading your updates. I like how detailed you get.

Really Happy to hear its a sleepy strain that will keep you down, as I usually have that proble. Despite me getting insomnia relief from lots of strain. Most dont keep me down. I think just this crop circle strain if I vape a good amount/edibles, and a couple photoperiod strains like Mango, and LA Kush. Medicinal properties are the most important part of the plant.

Update for Ramoth, day 79. She fell under the Knife today (at least what was left of her). I had been waiting for the 4 buds I thought were pollinated to finish seeds. Those buds looked different and felt different but when pulled some of the buds off and checked no seeds so down she came and she hangs in the closet.

Faranth is 69 days old and is now in the closet for 2 days of dark and to begin using what little moisture is left in the pot. I will take pics before she is cut. But she will be coming down soon. Need to clean up the tent and get ready for 12/12
