Dragons Flame Genetics - 2023 Grow log

Feels like forever, but starting to get things rolling. We are moved into our new place, which upgraded me into a medium sized garage, and out of flower tents again. The new place still has a lot of work to go, but starting to get it all together. one light in the first round will have the new RDWC setup, which will be the biggest shift in grow style in over a decade for me. The other light will be my standard style in soil. I plan after round 1, assuming I like what I see from RDWC, to add 4 more sites to make it an 8 site no soil, no medium, no more lugging pots, no more lugging around top dressing, or shop vacuuming up water and soil. Goal will be much much cleaner!

Part of this obviously (perhaps) also means I will be way less plants than I typically was doing, which means, Ive had to make some hard choices as to what its staying in my library to be used, and what just didnt make the cut. The choice came down to me wanting to stay in my lane, working my lines. The world doesn’t need me to work more gelato and cookies and hype stuff, so will be focusing on my core lines that I’ve built. I retired the glue, the GMO, the cookies, the gelato, and such. So - plan for the RDWC 4 slots - all dfg. Blackberry Moonshine #12 Blackberry Moonshine BX1 Modified Macberry Moonshine Haole Moonshine #13. Soil side - Chem 91 skva Fire OG Haole Moonshine #3 Deathstar Black Velvet

And as far as breeding goes - I'll be looking to doing some preservations of my oldest lines, looking like first up will be. Sour Cherry (c4 Casey band x Livers X Cherry Cheese) x Orange OG Sr71 Purple Kush. Will do an open pollination of whatever I can get to germinate. I made these...quite a while ago now, at least 10 years now, and they have moved to Covelo from Oregon and back in a u haul, shipped to Hawaii and back, and were in an RV fridge for a year as well as 2 years in our Hawaii off grid fridge with tons of power issues...so they haven't had perfect storage. Will pop the last 40 left in existence, and hope for enough to do an open pollination, while also do some large outcrossing with the above-mentioned strains as well.

Good luck and happy growing! 😎

night 1 of flower 4/4!

Well, the current culture / diy piecemeal system is starting to come together. Everytime I do plumbing like this I have to chuckle to think people can do this with only one trip to the home depot, I also seem to take 6 trips and a pile of extra shit I didn’t really need. But, its starting to get done. Got the hard 3" pvc stuff all primed and glued and set, and got my measures for the soft line I need to run from the filter to the pump, as well as go from the drain ts to drain the buckets. Hopefully in 3 more trips to home depot and another day of work Ill be able to fill and test for leaks. Moms are growing nice now from the move, so should be pulling cuts of those here in the next couple days as well. I did a grandevo spray yesterday and want to get a suffix oil spray in as well before I pull cuts, then when I pull cuts, I’ll do a lost coast or zymes dunk. I always get extra paranoid when moving, as the plants don’t get ideal conditions during the tear down and setup phase, which always makes it easier for pests to come in. But, anyway, things are moving along. I know, this is kind of the boring stuff right now, but I promise, bud porn will be just around the corner!
