Subbed, very interested in how your Red Dragon turns out. I have 2 freeby red dragons from barneys I might put outdoors later this year.
Silentbob024 is the one with the red dragon. This grow journal thread is about Wedding Cake, Purple Punch, Blue Gelato 41, Cheese, and GDP. But you are more than welcome follow my grow. Happy growing :bigjoint:

Day 11 of Flower
Discovered 4 of the plants (2 Wedding cake and 2 Purple Punch) were growing balls so I chopped them down, bagged them, and tossed them out :( . All the other plants that were seedlings are growing pistols except for one, still hasn't showed sex yet. I found an article that says during flowering a plant can show signs of sex as early as 3-10 days indoor and 3-4 weeks outdoor. I'm glad I inspect almost every day.

Thanks Man, definitely sucks. Once I build a bigger grow area then I may consider breeding. The Blue Gelato is looking good here's a pic of her.

She's looking nice so far duder. Sesms barneys have a decent structure to them. Strong looking shoots out the sides, big healthy leaves. I've seen alot of people putting down their gelato 41 and saying gorilla zkittles is it for them right now, but I kind of figure results are half to do with who grows it right. You look like you're doing good this far can't wait to see her flower up. How much longer till you flip her? I do a longer veg myself. I like the whole Jumanji out of my walls look though lol. I'll say this, red dragon can take some stress for sure and be just fine. How's your gelato deal with stress? Or have you tried topping or fim or anything on her yet?

No topping on her , only defoilated her before I flipped. I'm 11 days into 12/12. She was 10" when I flipped, now she's 18". Since I'm going for a SOG I didn't want them to get to tall like my plants did on my last run. I do have a few other strains that I topped to keep an even canopy, but they keep growing really fast. My GDP clones were 8" when I flipped, they're about 16" now. I have them in the middle of the tray. They only got close to 2 weeks veg time since I had already started vegging before I added them.

Nice nice. Yeah I got to start training mine real damn soon actually. Not doing a sog, but it's definitely green my cmh runs really quite hot so I need to keep my plants further away :( still can't seem to find a stand up fan for sale during Canadian winters though so that sucks. They doubled during flower eh. Nice nice.

Day 13 of Flower
Everything is looking good, the rest of the plants seem to be female. I am now down to 15 plants out of 19. One of the Wedding Cake seedlings has just been growing like crazy so I have her spread out in the back middle taking up the space that 2 plants would use up. I raised my light again for the second time in 4 days. I've been watering my 6" cubes 2x daily and my uni-slabs every other day, but when I went to check them because I noticed one drooping they are drinking everything up. So now I will start watering 1x daily on the uni-slabs. I've been thinking of defoilating one more time before Friday so I can get more light penetration. Thursday night I will flush them and then on Friday I will be mixing up a batch of week 3 nutrient solution.
Final plant count
4- Purple Punch seedlings
5- Wedding Cake seedlings
2- Wedding Cake clones
2- GDP clones
1- Blue Gelato 41 seedling
1- Cheese seedling

Did a little defoilating last night and removed some under growth. By doing that my humidity drop 7%.:) it's been going up due to the rain I've been having.

That's more than just a couple inches lol. Nice work man.
Thanks, they grew even more. All the Wedding cakes are stretching like there's no tomorrow. I had to raise all my fans and light. I also started to pull away and tie off the tops that were getting to close to the light. The tallest plant is 32", which means it grew over 20" since I flipped them 12/12. I'm only on day 17 of flower.
