I bought some cuttings that has been rooting for a while now will transplant over the weekend and I’ve also germinated some Sugar Dragons and whites from Ecuador. I have done an extensive amount of research. If succeeded with these I have then I will have a yard full once I relocate to a warmer area but for now NY is where I’ll give it a go.

    @KBDRAGONFRUIT 6 месяцев назад

    More energy will be transferred from the main branch (trunk) to the sub branches which will result in more fruit buds on the sub branches. When there are too many fruit buds on one branch then you should also remove some of the buds so that the remaining buds will have enough space and energy to grow big, sweet and juicy.

      BTW, when we had this setup, we tried several types of bulbs. Energy cost and bulb price had alot to do with what we choose at the time. 60 lamps going at once was a huge energy draw. Typically half of the bulbs would fail during the season so you can figure on a bulb cost.

      We start in pots and use cow manure for soil and PVC pipe to support. They have lots of other options. I recommend using what you have available to you. You can check out our website and youtube channel for additional information.

      I would say the gulf coast, as we are in Louisiana and works for us. It will have more challenges in colder locations, but making adjustments to the setup could overcome those challenges. Its a good cost affective solution to winterizing.

    • @Spicyexotics

      As a general rule, PG is purple flesh. Stay away from Purple flesh pollen and use Red or White flesh fruit pollen. Most Pink flesh fruit pollen will work too.

    • @Spicyexotics

      We have had styrofoam for over 15 years with amazing results. It works as an amazing insulator too. We mainly use it to make the containers weigh less, so we do not use gravel. We have 2 bags of soil in each container at minimum and that is plenty of balance.
