Indoor Saving The Old Dragons

[The Bedroom Gardener UK]

72 hours later, and we have one off already. This has been moved to the incubator box. I think we should see a bit more action soon.

I love threads like this man, good luck on this! I love dragons! I'm about to start some duurty dragons and next rotation I'm going to do some black dragons. Hoping for some pollen from either.

...And 24 hours later, we have another 3 cracked - all now put in soil. Vigour has been pretty good, on all of them so far. Much better than the parents already. Lets see if any of them make it above ground.

Good stuff man! Definitely an interesting read/watch.

... another 48 hours, and there are 2 seedlings above ground, with another 2 on the way (judging by the bumps in the soil). All 4 plants will be going into the main tent tomorrow, straight into a 250w HPS @ 20 hours. I'll be pairing them up to keep things smaller, as there are already 2 plants in there re-vegging. Again on this run I'm not looking for yield, but more decent seeds.

Only been 4 days since my last update, but things have really been cooking - good, and slightly bad points to it.

In total we've now had 5 of 10 seeds make it from the shell, and 4 of those has made it above ground. The last 1 only cracked yesterday, so I still have good hopes for it to make it. As for the remaining 5, I'll leave them where they are to see if anything comes from it, but not so hopeful. Possibly I went for it too early, and they were not ready.

Any hoo, 4 or 5 out of 10 is more than good enough to keep the project going. I have already transplanted the seedlings to their final containers, but 2 seedlings per bucket. They have been under the 250w HPS, on about a 21 / 3 cycle. I might crank it up a little more even, as it's only off to let the equipment cool. Normally I'm only the regular 20 / 4, but spending the extra electric, as it is well cold here & supposedly getting colder. With the light on, the temps are just nice. Better putting it into light, than heat - hopefully.

The seedlings are still quite vigorous, but 2 of them have been very slow to start their first set of leaves. I first thought they had the same issue as the parents, but if you look through a magnifying glass you can just see the starter set. We will have to see how they go in the next week or so.

More bad news on the seedling front. The 2nd set of leaves do not seem to be growing out, and growth on them all has basically stopped. This may be to do with the cold, or maybe I put them in too soon, either way if these die I'm going to leave it a few months until it's warmer.

No further action on the 5 remaining seeds yet.

What sort of temperatures are you working with?


Easy smoking! [emoji869]

Around 15 °C, sometimes a little lower when the lights are off.

Not been about for a couple of weeks, but still going.; Weather was throwing really low temps for a bit, but better now. Some pics from a week or so ago. I'll put up more new ones in another couple of days, lots of new growth now.

Overall 6 out of 10 seeds broke soil & started growing. I have 5 now under the 250w @ 20 / 4

Box at low temps, not seedling friendly.

Seedling 5 of 10.

Shots.
