Week 9. Not long to go I would say. Some beautiful purple colour is showing, especially on the lower buds.
The dragons have a strong smell too, even just being nearby they give themselves away.
The fat one had a couple of bouts of spider mite, and instead of spraying I gave them a light blast with the hose.
It did the job, but damaged a couple of the big leaves. Not really an issue. The skinny one never really got any mites.
One more nice week of weather an I will be happy 🍻
@Shooey, ive been told that plants on the smaller side arent always a bad thing
As you know with my last grow mine were also a tad smaller.
They are easier to look after and spot signs of trouble and may in certain cases taste better. As with many things in nature.
They look great though
@Riveting, cheers mate! These have been a real surprise packet. It's about the best I've done with auto outdoor. I notice you do well with them in SA as does epokwan too. Looks like I will give these another try for sure 🙂
@Med_in_Tropic, cheers med. This is the best i have done with autos to date, although wolf got his to branch out a bit more than mine. He does top his autos, and it seems they may just do a bit better!!
@Riveting, hi mate. These are testers that a mate bred. I wanted to see how they went just thrown out with mo fussing over it. It shares the pot with a mulberry plant. Test has shown this has way under performed compared to the others in optimum conditions. So yeah, just for future learnings 👍🏽👍🏼
@Grey_Wolf, yes mate, all of a sudden too! The fatter one is now getting almost a magenta colour which I’m guessing might be from the ruby dragon. The smell is unbelievable mate, I’m lovin these dragons. Super quick too. I’ve got a few left for next year too 👍👍🍻
@Ned_Grows, thanks bro. Yeah I do get mites here and there. They are selective though, preffering some strains above others. The hose gets most of em but it did do some damage to the leaves. Might have to back the pressure off next time! Cheers mate
@Ner0z, thanks mate! It is a breeding project of another GD mate, who supplied the seeds. Its good to be able to test and try some different things with them. All the best with "the boys" matey😆
