Indoor Saving The Old Dragons

[The Bedroom Gardener UK]

So happy I found this grow mate, so much info it's amazing. I've only managed to make it to page 5 before I had question ping-pong around my head. I've always thought it was temp change/difference that made it happen because I've seen people grow purple kush( or any plant known to change colour) and get no purple/colour only green. So it's just low temp I'm learning that is "sometimes not always the case" but it helps turns the colour. BUT in around about way the temp drop lights off and rise again lights on might be best compromise to ensure colour change but not hurts plants growth to much. Is theory correct or am I over thinking.

I find quite a lot with canna, there is always the exception. Low temps will help turn the plant, if it is predisposed to do so already. Prolonged low temps will probably turn your plant black to, but really this is hurting the plant & yield suffers (see below for my Girl Scout Cookies Photo example). You could definitely lower the temps at night to try and trigger the change, you can go 10 degrees (according to the books) at lights off without any issue, so if you are in the lower 20's lights on, then it might be enough. I wouldn't do it for long though, as growth seems to slow as well.

Great thread! I love Dragons, especially black Dragon. Got a Sea of Black ( Dragons... ) going right now. Pollinated one for fresh seed. These are F4 if I remember correctly.

That's a lovely sight bud. Am I correct in seeing the purple just starting to come out on them? How many plants am I looking at, 2?

Yes most of them will have purple buds. Some will have a lighter purple but I rarely get a white pheno. There are 11 plants in 8L pots

As promised, my spring chucking of Stone Dragon (m) x 24 Carat (f) produced about 80 seeds. I started 4, and I ended up with 2 females ( and 2 males). These girls are on day 50. They are both squat indica leaning plants, although the SD x 24CT #3 is a bit taller and definitely has a more open structure with less leaves. They are being fed MegaCrop (3g) and Bud Explosion (1g), with ppm being just over 500 thanks to the use of RO water. My tap water measures in at over 250ppm. My goal was to create a sleepytime indica to help put me to sleep, but more importantly either keep me asleep or get me back to sleep when I awake in the middle of the night. I have great hope for this cross. #3 cross in the first picture will be on the left.

Hoping this is the Holy Grail for sleep meds!! 24Ct is the best for sleep I’ve found. Keep me posted !

Excellent work mate, they look like great crosses. By the time they are finished, it'll just be all bud. How long are you going to try and take them?

11 plants - quality. All looking very uniform, good skills

Week 3 - F4.

Temps across the UK have really took a tumble this week, causing a little drooping of the young ones towards the end. Things looking up again now, but due to the cold I don't think we're ready to show any sex yet. This looks like it will happen on week 4. Once sex is shown, then I am going to pop a few more, to keep things filled.

Beginning of week.

End of week. Still going strong but slower in growth.

A little droop.

Week 4 -F4.

Snowing as a write this, so a little cold in the garage at the moment. This is keeping things at a slow pace, but we are progressing. The babies still have not shown sex yet, but I think we are on the verge of that. I have put some more seeds in to soak, as replacements for those that do not make it. Again the seedlings are very vigorous.

A couple of the drooping plants last week have now started yellowing on the bottom two leafs. The issue is only happening on the leafs that went purple a few weeks ago, not all plants have the problem. I am currently attributing it to the cold, and am not overly concerned as I'm rlready doing all i can with that issue.

A couple of the better looking ones.
