Sour Dragons First Test Grow

9th January 2021
Hey all welcome to another Diary 😀
This one will be a basic test run for some seeds I made awhile back .
They are reg seeds so there is a chance of getting both Males and Females within the 4 Plants I have germinated.
It all started with this Diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/83472-ruby-dragon-bx-grow-journal-by-grey-wolf
where i grew one plant from some seeds I got from a guy here in Australia who goes by the name Puggles.
he informed me that the Ruby Dragon BX ( back cross) were basically to be used mainly as a breeders tool when
looking at making some Autoflowering seeds.
So I grew the plant and it soon became obvious that it was a Male. So not to risk pollinating everything I had in my
Garden at the time, I took both the Male Ruby dragon and a Freshly flowering Fastbuds Sour Diesel out into the Bush
several kilometers from my House to have some "Sexy Time" together.
This was the Diary showing what was achieved from the Sour Diesel pollination event.
https://growdiaries.com/diaries/81054-fastbuds-original-auto-sour-diesel-grow-journal-by-grey-wolf
So basically I gave the seeds plenty of time to mature and dry before attempting to Germinate some.
The First try was a failure as I did the soak in water then paper towel method , which these seeds did not seem to like
as they all turned to Mush and were Fucked.
The next attempt was better , this time I only allowed the seeds to soak in water for 6 hours then placed them
straight into some seedraising mix , kept it moist until they popped.
As you will see in the above pics there is one plant that is a Week ahead of the others , this was from a single seed germination test
done the same way as the other few that are in the above pics. 😎
My Goal now that they are up and running is to Monitor their growth from Seedling to Harvest , taking note of anything
that is interesting or even negative about each plant , their initial vigor or lack there of .
Plus being auto's i will watch to see how quickly they begin to flower ( preferably at the 4-5 week mark is ideal)
and the usual post harvest tests such as potency , flavour , taste and smells.
I have a willing growing mate @Shooey who will test some , I just need to send him the beans first 😁 (PM me mate)
If the end result is a good one , then I will definately attempt to make some Feminised versions of the Sour Dragons .
So without further Ado , Lets Grow 😀
Cheers for stopping by 👍

firstly sorry i should have updated this 2 days ago but have been busy.
The bigger plant unfortunatey got eaten by something so I am keeping the 4 little seedlings
I still have, in a grow tent under a LED until they are a bit bigger and I'll repot them.
It's probably also about time I gave them a light feed so I'll give them some "Go Green" from the Professors nutrient company.
Cheers for stopping by 👍

Another week down and I repotted one of the four into a 4.5L Plastic pot but the other three
are still in the solo cups for now . I will probably put them into the garden bed soon and simply pull out
any of them that are Males. 😎
Once again thankyou for stopping by 👍
Sour Dragons First Test Run

2nd February 2021
Only 1 Plant left now . 👈
One showed itself as a Male already!! 😮
The other ones just looked shit and stunted 😄 so I pulled them up.
The only reason I kept this one , is because of it's nice shaped leaves and general healthy appearance.
But if it fails to grow much in the next 7 days it to may fall into the (not worth the effort and time) category.
Remembering this is a test run of auto flowering genetics I want the plants to be vigorous straight out of the seed
so may need to keep popping beans or move onto another potential cross.

This Plant must have read lastweeks update and got a bit nervous 😄 because she sure has changed in looks since then 😮
She actually looks quite good and I can safely say "she" because of the obvious preflowering pistils you can see in one of the
above pics. Just fed her with some Worm castings tea and the usual small dose of Great white mycorrhizae 💪
Thanks heaps for stopping by 👍

I put in a half handful of guano pellets and away she goes. 👊
Nice structure Nice colour I'm Happy with the progress of the "Sour Dragon"

Well I am pretty happy with how this sour dragon plant is developing.
the stems when rubbed emit a smell almost Identical to the sour diesel parent plant 😍
which to me is fantastic because the sour diesel is one of my absolute favourite strains 💪
She's looking a little scruffy so I'll do another light defol to tidy her up and allow more sunlight to penetrate those lower budsites.
Thanks heaps for stopping by 👍

Three weeks of flowering is done and dusted 😀 She looks Great and is starting to get some smells happening 👊
Not much else to report as she's in cruise control.......................................
I also popped a few more Baby dragons to play with and be sure to check out @Shooey 's Test grow of my Sour Dragon seeds

That's week 4 of flowering done with and she really is starting to look & smell very nice 😋
I gave her some Mollasses & Wormcastings tea 💪
And also I potted up the next three little Dragon's which are going along nicely .
I gave them some Superthrive @1ml to 3 litres Rainwater.
That's about it for this weeks update , Be sure to check out @Shooey 's Test grow of the Sour Dragons https://growdiaries.com/diaries/97580-grow-journal-by-shooey

Okay Good News First ................... The Buds are stinky as Hell 😍 Super Gassy and sweet and fruity combine to make an
incredible aroma simply lovely indeed!! I expect that they will be ready in 7-10 days
This Dragon has buds that look very Kush like in appearence yet have retained that Diesel smell from the fastbuds strain I
made the cross with 😀
Now the Bad News........ 😬 Tiny little grey caterpillars are causing damage to the delicate sticky buds 😡
How dare they Destroy such Stickiness and Goodness??? Not much I can do at this late stage
except pick off the pillars I can find between now and harvest.
Now for the Three Little Sour Dragons.......................... Three will soon be two as I think one of them is a Male &
I'm just waiting to be certain before it gets the chop.
All three are looking nice and healthy and are just cruising along at the moment . 😎
That's it for the Test Grow for this week , Check out Shooey's Test grow of my Sour Dragon Autos here

And as usual,
Thankyou very much for stopping by 👍
Now you must bear with me in that I only dried a small sample bud the rest is still in the process of drying.
First impression was a Great pungeant Diesel aroma that is definately noticeable on the tastebuds as is a very sour and citrus like Tanginess
👌💪💪💪😍😍💪💪💪👌
It definately has a nice cerebal effect that made me happy and even a bit giggly , Fantastic for playing GTA online 😂

So I chopped down the flowering girl today as the Caterpillars were getting beyond a joke and the trichomes were mostly
clouded anyways so I thought lets get this over with. 👊
To make sure I got rid of every single "pillar" from the plant after harvest I did something I have previously never attempted.
Basically I Plunged the whole plant into a bucket full of clean cold water and thoroughly rinsed it all over .
Then I shook the shit out of it to remove the excess water and probably a lot of good trich's 😬
It's now hanging up to dry and then it'll be trimmed and cured for a bit.
I'll post pics of the finished bud at a later date. I did try a small bud that I removed and dried over the last couple of days,
and yes I can tick off a couple of desired traits in this one that I was hoping for.
Main one was the Sour Diesel Smell and flavour , this has Both the astrigent smells and tastes of diesel with a sour citrusy infusion.
Bloody lovely if I do say so myself . 👌😁
Another trait that I liked is the tight almost "kush" like buds that are like golfball sized hard potent and sticky 😍
Now for the things that could be better in my opinion 😎
I would have liked to see it grow faster during the vegetation stage to provide a medium to large sized yield
60Grams dried would be ideal but perhaps the genetics need tweaking to achieve this. ????? 😏
The other thing that worried me was it's apparent weakness to any sort of bug attack .
The plant really turned up it's toes because of that caterpillar attack and it looked like they would win eventually if not harvested first.
So what do I do now ??? Couple of options I can explore , One is to cross a sour dragon female with some feminized pollen from
a donor auto variety that may help increase the yields and vigor .
Possibly a Sativa dom auto strain I would need to do some research.
Or the other way is to use a Sour Dragon MALE auto fom my stock of seeds to pollinate a female auto plant of the same
desired traits as mentioned above.
All this takes time so hopefully I'll get some progress with these Sour Dragons my very first Autoflowering variety 😀
Now Back to whats already happening , I am down to only one little Dragon now as the other two were males
the one that is left isn't very big but that could have something to do with the tiny pot it's in ?
Now it's shown it's sex I'm gonna repot into a bigger pot and hope for the best 👌
I'll keep updating the growth of this last little Sour Dragon as it develops each week and Once again before I sign off
A Huge Thanks to All of you for the likes left each week and the Positive comments and vibes you provide me .
Thankyou For Stopping By 👍
Mate, ur getting caterpillars, I’m getting slugs with all this rain!
Just the one I leave outside, planted with the mulberry.
They never hit the mulberry, only the dragon. Makes me wonder if they actually get a bit high off them😀
All the best mate👍
@Shooey, a Really good way to get rid of snails n slugs is to bury a margarine container with the top at surface level
then fill it halfway with Beer . Next day it will be full of the bastards Drunk and Drowned 😈
So cool to find some really useful info GW and thanks, I look forward to trying them out real soon. And I checked shooey's diary so I've got some good knowledge hopefully.
