The Dragons won't be ready until the last week of October, but they should be ok in there.
I was debating getting a greenhouse heater and trying a winter grow, there's a great FB page all about polytunnels and they say to line it with clear bubble wrap and it will be insulated enough for delicate plants
Found a link www.firsttunnels.co.uk
Current Girls are looking lovely and Healthy Peteey.....keep it up.
Dragons have probably almost a unique History of off season winter outdoor growing..so you would probably have a good crack at it in a poly tunnel outdoors in the UK..Worth a Try...
I Prefer the taste of cold grown bud. Spring bud tastes sweetest.
You get a smaller harvest..so put more In..
I don't fert much on winter season..ferts plus damp winter weather spell mold.
I've had them outdoor up to minus 2'C and around 9.5 hours natural light..and they haven't flackered.
You Should be able to maintain -2'c in a tunnel...
Week 6 or day 42 or even just about the half way point. All the girls are growing extremely well still with very little input from me. They're all well into the start of flower mode now but I'm gonna wait until I dust a couple of branches on each.
I've still got more pollen to collect from the male but this will be the last lot from him.
Feed wise they've just been getting the usual grow nutes from poundland along with Buddahstree suppliments
Here's a few pics on this fine sunny morning.
Few Sunday morning pics, suns out plants have really taken off in the past couple of days. One has opened out but the other two all the side branches are going straight up like main stems. All are flowering nicely nice even nodal spacing, they really are so easy to care for.
One has the biggest single flower bud I've ever seen, I caught an interloper having a snooze in the sun too.
It still amazes me how much plants move, this ones turned itself through 90 degrees vertically and horizontally to catch the light on this cloudy rainy day

Week seven today and all is well. They're still stretching but well into flower now, I'll switch to bloom nutes once they stop going vertical.
Apart from that there's nothing much to report although I did notice a waft of a smell as I moved them for the pictures.
