Indoor NiceNEasy's trials and tribulations.

Day 73.

Oldest plants cut down today, they were very ready for it. No pics, as it is too cold to be messing around in the garage. Once dried, of course I'll share.

Day 61 for my remaining plants. Most of them are showing some colour now, although quite light. At the moment it looks like these are going to go a little longer, probably week 12 or so - day 84 and beyond.

Growth has slowed, as expected with the temps, but they are not really complaining - yet. Some leaves folding inwards, and up, so possibly an overlighting issue - will need to keep an eye on that.

Day 69 for my final 2 pots (5 plants in total). They all have at least another 2 weeks before ready for chop. One of them might even go another month, as very Sativa looking. I have removed some of the really large fan leaves, to help with airflow & keeping away the rot. Temps have been creeping up again, for the moment, so things fairly stable.

Here's a couple of bud shots.

Some more buds, the first proper Forgetful Dragons nearly ready for smoking.

These have been dried for 8 days. Dying to have a smoke of one, but not had the opportunity yet.

Nice color and frost

Cheers. I don't really manicure, as they are only for me. I'll have to start trimming 'show buds' lol.

Day 74.

Still slowly getting there. Temps starting to drop again, so expecting a colder spell for a while. Hopefully the heater will keep everything snug.

Managed to get a smoke from one of the first FD's, and while these girls may look like Dragons they certainly taste like Amnesia. This is not a bad thing, but not the overriding profile I want. Future plants will of course have variations of this look / taste profile, so I'll keep looking for my combination. This is a great starting point though.

ETA for starting the next batch is Feb 2021, maybe a little sooner depending on how these plants mature. I would like to leave it a little longer, and get back into warmer times, but tent time is still limited so I need to make the best of it. I also want to use the cold to see if I can trigger the coloured plants again, and then grow another group in Summer to see if there are any differences. I predict there will be less coloured plants, but we will see.

Day 81.

Cut down 3 plants on Day 80, leaving only 2 left. The cold now seems to be hampering the growth, but we will endure for the next while. I'm going to let these last 2 go on for a bit, and see what a really / over mature one is like.

I predict another 3 weeks minimum for the remaining, which will take it well over the 100 days mark. I have had many haze plants go this time with no real issues, so not overly concerned. Always need to keep an eye out for the rot tho.

The last sisters, Ebony and Ivory.

Here's another little Forgetful Dragon bud.

Alright folks, been a while since I've updated this thread, but as you can imagine things have been moving along. My final 2 plants went till well over 100 days each & could have probably gone more, but I thought the cold would get them.

Here's some final bud shots those F1's.

So what now I hear you cry, well the Black Dragon x Amnesia is a great plant, but I find it lacking a little in taste - for me anyway. My intention is to grow some more out, and try to find a more Dragony flavour & take them down the F line a little.

I also intend to find a flavourful partner for the Dragon and breed into that line. I had chosen Hulkberry Auto for this from RQS, but they are having Brexit problems so I may need to choose again. No hurry at the moment, as I still need my male pollen.

Starting my male search I've cracked 6 Forgetful Dragon seeds to see what happens. If I do not get the male I'm looking for from this or the next batch, then I might go back to my F3 Black Dragons, while the seeds are still viable. All is still in the lap of the gods.

That's so pretty dude!

Day 10 or so.

It has been a hard road for the little plants, but they have all got here. Temps have been way down, but they are rising again so hopefully, we are looking towards an early spring & more growth. Some of the little ones have yellowed tips, which I believe to be from the cold.

Here's some hash I made earlier today. Blue Cheese & White Rhino.
