Hello fellow Ganja Enthusiasts!

I'm going to grow 4 reg Stone Dragons that I got from this fine bud here.
Also a reg Lowryder #2 from Joint Doctors and a fem Cream Caramel from Sweet Seeds.

I bought a tent after getting the SD beans because the temptation was just too much. So no Mini Ryders on the Balcony, as I'd planned.

I'm growing these in an 80x80x160 cm Homebox from Eastside Impex. I got a good deal with a filter and 190cfm axial fan for 144€. I might need the filter later, but not now. I'm using the fan as an exhaust right now. Works fine. It was a very hot and humid day today and the temp in the room where my tent is reached 32°. The tent stayed cozy at 28°. Booya!

I got CFL's and will use them the whole grow. Starting out now with 66w for the four living beings shown in these pics, plus 66 that the two other beans are sharing to germ. I have a lot more bulbs and some strange new DIY light racks that I've fabricated in a manner like Andy Botwin's PVC Pipe Light Rig. I might show it after I get it tuned in right. For now I'm still messing with it. I got 150w more fluorescent power coming next month. Then I'll have around 400w - 450w. I'll do a running total as I add new ones... I still have lots of tweaking to do all around anyway. Slowly but surely. No stress.

I'm using a soil that I mixed using 2/3 Compo Sana, 1/3 Worm Castings, and lots and lots of other goodies so everything is in there waiting. There's Alfalfa, Kelp, Chicken Poop, Horn, Bone and Blood Meal, and Epsom Salts in it.

That's basically what I'll be feeding them as well. With some baked powdered eggshells now and then, Molasses, of course, and I'll alternate that again with Fish Mix and Bio Bloom. I'm out of Kelp and that sucks. Tomorrow I need to see if I can't find some liquid seaweed or what not. I want some ready to go Kelp in a Bottle, I just can't remember what it's called. I need to have it sent from the Islands though- can't find it here...

I'll have the lights on 24/0 for probably the whole grow, unless some Dragon Master threatens me with stockades and chains for not treating Dragons right... We'll see as we go, right?

LR2 on the left at 4 days, SD1 on the right at 3 days.

They're in these dumb little pots because I was going to do a revised Mini Balcony grow in these pots from start to finish... But they're all going into airpots. Very soon.

Two more SD's are germing in these contraptions.

Now who's that in the background?

That's SD2 and a little CC. Ain't they the sweetest little things? They won my heart with this pic. They get extra everything! :D

I'm glad you dropped by and I hope you'll stick around to tell me when I futz up, lend some moral support, or to even make fun of me. I'm flexible.

Ask away if you want to know something. I probably missed a whole lot here 'cuz I'm very stoned right now and this is complicated, posting stuff.. I burned my hand today and it was a pretty sucky day. I was making breakfast this morning when I tripped over one of my sweet little Rug-Rats. Well rather than allowing me to crush my daughter, my hand automatically reached for a hold and thereby shoved the frying pan that was frying our eggs to the side, allowing for a full palm touchdown on the medium-high heat on the stove top. This caused me to yelp pretty loud and my hand has been stressing me the whole day. So I've been going heavy on combinations and alternations of Easy Ryder and Rapid Afghan all day. I'm all messed up tonight. But my hand doesn't hurt anymore, 'cept when I use it.

Yeah man nice one for the heads up mate,pullin up a seat and subbing in bro..dragon huggers everywhere :smokebuds:
 
Awesome dude. I am so subscribed to this. Dragons are taking over AFN, there is no doubt!
 
Excellent Noods--barring the burn.
 
:jump:Hell to the YES my friend :hot: I have been dying for this one to start bro :dance2: Healing karma sent for your hand and green karma sent for the little ones :wiz: You know I will be here to the end my friend :pop:
 
Hey Red, squid, Alan and Dub, nice seeing you guys here! Thanks for the well wishes and the healing Karma. It seems to have helped. No pain. Now I can go and sleep away half of this rainy day. My work week starts tonight with night shift. :/

In the mean time, the little SD2 and the CC have thrown off their Pac-Man caps and are doing their little thing.

:smokebuds:
 
I'm in the first row, you know :pop: :smokebuds:I'm very interested in seeing your tweaking of the tent and how you position the lights.
Karma sent your way :smokeit:
 
Ahh Stone, I see your homing instincts lead you to my tent in search of little dragons... :jump: Nice!

The SD1 is looking better and stronger than the LR2 that has a day more of life. They're all getting just distilled water sprays and for keeping the soil moist. It's pH 6.4 right out of the jug. Till they get big and very thirsty, I'll stick with that. It's easier than the pH7.7 from my spring or the pH 7.5 from my tap. Later on I'll switch to spring.

The two that popped their shells early this morning didn't do much more in eight hrs. Just some little tiny leaves... It's always hoping at this stage, eh. "Oh, I hope they'll grow. I hope they have enough water. I hope they don't have too much water. I hope the soil's not too hot. I hope the RH is right..." That's how I am, anyway.

SD 3 and 4 are peeking up through the soil right now. So it looks like a successful 6:6 germ rate this run. Nice! The SD 1 popped after three days, the SD 2,3, and 4 all popped after two. (sown 1 day apart) Nice fresh, healthy seeds full of life!!

Thanks for the growing Karma!
