Dragon Meds Pete's Dragons

Well I'm a happy grower today....I can confirm I have three girls and one male. Gave them a big drink today two litres each with light feed as I'm off to Portugal in the morning, I have someone coming in to water them later next week, I have left strict instructions as to how much and what to add, thankfully the formulex is self regulation regards ph so as long as he doesn't drown then all should be well.
Here's a few pics...mostly of the male, the three females together and a group shot

They look like clones!! Nice grow you got going!

Thanks Pop, they're definitely from seed honest Guv, if you look back through some of the pics you can see they're cotyledon leaves still.
They seem to have stretched a little over the past couple of days but top growth is nice, not a lot I can do to stop them if they stretch it's a bit hard to move the sun closer haha.
Quick question, this male won't shoot his load in the week I'm away will he? I presume he has to mature and let them drop first so to speak

Well, its been my experience that he make take a week, or it could be 24 hours! I'd isolate him soon!

Hey hey I'm back from me holidays in Portugal. Quick update on the Dragons.
The male is going into isolation today, he's very close to exploding everywhere. The ladies of the group are all growing very well and have all shown pre flower now. Not a lot else to add as they're kind of growing themselves with very little input from me.
Here's some pics

Ooh..you want to look after your canna caretaker.....you wouldn't Believe how many grows have seen ruined by holiday cover..

Yours have Flourished....

On my boys..the ball trait is that they develop a stem..and start to drop from the tight bunch..then they pollenate..
Their balls drop before they mature sexually..same as teenage boys.....but..same as horny teenagers..as soon as the show signs get them out of the same bedroom..or Accidents will happen.

Are you having a dabble at producing your own seed..?

 

[Peteey010]

I will do, but only to see if I can do it. I'll harvest pollen from any males I get and store it then use the best looking father for a little trial and error seed production in the future.

IMO...it is your Duty to repro a small amount of ibl seed..if your conditons allow it.....Good Luck..

Well Aunty Mossy I shall not disappoint, consider my duty on going. I shall make seed of the Stone Dragons for sure.
Quick question, if I was to pollinate the bottom 4 branches roughly how much seed would I be looking at? I know it would depend on things like plant and branch size but just a general ball park figure will do

Lots! All the plants i ran were in 20 oz. styro cups and threw about 100 seeds each or more!! Careful, Mossy told me breeding is more addictive than growing! Lots of truth in that statement! Plants are looking great peteey! Keep rockin them gals and guy! Is he showing any color on hit sacks yet?
