Hey guys and gals. Got a little going down on the Squid Farm. 4/5 new Duurty Dragons are sprouted above surface. So I'll call today day one, or yesterday. They are all coming along fine at varying speeds of course.

I say 4/5, because I had a really weird occurrence with the 5th one, at least I've never seen this happen before. They're in the 32 oz styros and I slip a fold top sammich bag over the top with a little hole for some ventilation and when they sprout I pull the bag off. Well that was the last one and I could see a bit of green through the bag on today's inspection so I pulled the bag off. What I found was a tiny little sprout about an inch long, first cotyledons partially open included, BUT it wasn't even rooted down into the cup, it was just laying sideways sorta. It almost looked as if it had jumped out or gotten pulled out, but I know nothing did that, nothing else is messed with, kinda weird. I just took the little root tip and poked it down into the mix. Hopefully it will root in a day or so, not sure. Anyone ever experienced this?
Other than that, the new start is off. :dance2:

The one DR that hadn't shown is now a confirmed female, very cool. Although growing slightly slow and enduring some previous problems from before, both DRs have managed to survive and are pushing forward.

Molly(the MI5 female) is doing fantastic. She actually looks like she wants more, so next feed I will give it to her by upping her dose of veg nutes. Pistils are huge and busting out quick like, I love it. It's only at 3.5 weeks, but it seems like she may be a shorty, and has alternating stems at the nodes from the start. I have heard that it usually doesn't start alternating until later, not sure what that means with mine. I gave her a little silica blast on that last feed and I swear there is a noticeable difference in main stalk and other stem thickness and overall strength and appearance.

All the males are fine. The two MI5 are leaning over at the tops from the weight of male flowers, haha. They'll be paying rent soon. DR male is several days behind but growing fine.

The DD male seems to be progressing slowly but surely. Question: If I use pollen from a weak stunted plant, will that pass on in the genetics?

I will have some pics up of everything on Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by.

hahaha paying rent..thats funny. Anyhow the weak and stunted male plants are that way because of how theyre being treated right? i dont think it has to do with genetics, just weaker lighting and such, right? which is exactly how id keep them, so plz dont take offense.. Anyhow, as far as that weird DD is concerned i had the same exact thing happen to a freebie photo i got, Amnesia, anyhow, i did exactly what you did, and it just never progressed, ended up just tossing it. Hope it turns out better in your case.. Hope I helped a little squidman!

@ Growbewan> Thanks dude. And yes, the problems are due to my doing, the over watering, chemical ph, etc. NOT the genetics of course, they're Dragons. I'll just see how he goes I guess. They have two 2 foot T5HOs over the top of my Mail Box to live on, 48 watts and 4000 lumen only, but man do those bad boys grow! Over an inch a day lately, one ran into the damn light, haha. I swear that one MI5 is like a foot tall or more with a TON of pollen sacs. I had to raise the light on all my males a few hours ago. There are four plants in there, I am just slightly surprised at how great they're growing off such little light.
And yeah I hear ya on that seedling that decided to jump out of the cup, we'll see. No worries, I have four others that look fine and I can't keep them all anyway. I have Molly, and now a DR female(that I need to name btw ) So I really only have room for two more females, maybe three. But with the four left I will probably get two girls and another male or two that is growing well. So if that one DD male I have doesn't turn around, no worries, I have more males on the way.

@JM> So does that still apply if it isn't genetics? It wasn't a runt just poorly grown at the start, my fault.

Thanks guys!

squid, i actually didnt mean it that way..just that theyre under worse lighting now then the females..thats what i meant by id treat them (the males) the same..i can see where you would get that..sorry for the confusion. i still think that the pollen is just fine..great genetics, like you said.
