That is because the red dragon is not a clone, but an actuall breed. It was the first VFT mutation to be stablised by selective breeding. And they should be small, the finer build of the plant is part of the definition, although they CAN get to be rather tall, they always have a slim build and from the ones I have had a chance to work with, it takes them longer to reach the larger sizes, but they always get to it eventually. Really, if you have a heafty plant that looks like a red dragon it's probubly a misslabled green dragon or a tissue culture mutation similar to it. Personally, I like their delicite structures more so then the bulky typicals.[b said:Quote[/b] (BobZ @ Aug. 04 2004,10:34)]I have never tried seed from a "Green Dragon" plant, but I have selfed and grown seed from 'Red Dragon' x 'Red Dragon' and all of the resulting seedlings were red like the parent. Because the 'Red Dragon' seedlings are red, I think it is likely that many of the plants being traded as 'Red Dragon' are not from the original clone. I think that may be the reason that there are many reports that their 'Red Dragon' plants are disappointingly small. We had a post discussing this point a few months ago.
I would be interested observations from anyone that has grown "Green Dragon" F2 seedlings.
