Grow Specs: Breeder: Irie Genetics Strain: Double Dragon Genetic heritage: Durban Poison x Arise (Golden Goat x Daybreaker) Germination rate: 4/4 - 100% (kept first 3) Male:Female Ratio: ?:? Container: 30 Gallon Smart Pot Medium: No till soil. (Roughly Build-a-soil recipe with additional amendments) Light: Spectrum King SK402 Water: Blumat Watering Systems Blusoak Hose + 5 gal reservoir Update schedule: I will try to send out the updates every Saturday or Sunday. For more frequent updates, add me on Instagram @grimbolthedruid Grow Schedule to Date: Sprout: 1/9/19 Age: Day 5 as of 1/13/19 Updates/Observations: Rasta Jeff of Irie Genetics and the Grow From Your Heart Podcast sent me some more seeds to document and test out so here we go again! Excellent podcast that I would definitely recommend if you are a Cannabis enthusiast or need some help in the grow. This is one of the more exciting ones for me because I have such a positive bodily response to Durban Poison. It is definitely one of the more medicinally beneficial strains for me. Recreationally, it is one of my favorites too because of the nice uplifting, energetic, euphoric effects it gives me. Take that and cross it to Arise, which is Irie Genetics flagship strain testing in excess of 30% (as high as 37%) total cannibinoids and it is a recipe for success. I have grown several Arise crosses and have never once been disappointed with the flavor and vigor. I cannot wait to see what this new cross' can do. Also, you might see 3 other plants in the same container that are my own creation. A few grows ago, I hit a branch of my most orange-soda-smelling Sunkiss from Irie Genetics with some MAC pollen gifted to me by a friend and made a few hundred seeds. I decided to pop 3 of them for fun so they will just be in the background of this journal. Who knows what will happen! Thanks Jeff! Cheers! G

Rice hulls degrade into plant available Silica which is useful for many things, most notably plant cell wall strength. -I have trimmed the cover crop a few times because it is booming! -Sunkiss x MAC seeds seem to be keeping up so far!

We had some temps around -30F to -40F and I couldn't get it any warmer but I think they will be alright in the long run. -I have been continuously fighting the cover crop back which I think is a good sign! -The drainage holes that I drilled in the pond container don't appear to be functional because the soil is very wet (based on rapidtest meter, unsure of accuracy) and refuses to drain. I am going to hold off on watering heavy until I the plants drink some of that up and show me they are running low. -One of the Sunkiss x MAC seeds appears to be the fastest growing plant so far!

Whoops! Guess Clover doesn't take that much water! -Most of the Dragons are about the same height. Sunkiss x MAC #1 was growing up taller than the rest and had good node spacing so I used a foam wire tie to tie it down a bit. Those things are awesome! New best find at the nursery store for sure. Makes training a breeze. -They have about another several inches to grow upwards before I drop the net on them but they are picking up speed now. -Starting to look nice and green now. I am really liking their progress but not much to report for now. -Many different leaf representations here which I like to see in this initial selection. Cheers! G

Anything dead is covered in a white fuzzy cover not long after it falls. -Still don't really water, just about a half gallon of water into the res last week to keep the worms happy. -Really liking the health and look of these plants. Just want them to get to the net. We are about 1 inch away! -Double Dragon #3 appears to be the alpha in the group so far. -Once the scrog net is mostly full we will head into flower! Cheers! G

For more frequent updates, add me on Instagram @grimbolthedruid Grow Schedule to Date: Sprout: 1/9/19 Age: Day 37 as of 2/15/19 Updates/Observations: -All of the plants are doing pretty well. There is some slight nitrogen overabundance on the Sunkiss x MAC side but it looks to still be in check right now. -I still don't really water, just about a half gallon of water into the res last week to keep the worms happy. The water conservation on this bed is pretty amazing. In total, I think I have watered about 5 gallons into the bed in 10 weeks! -I removed any growth on the plants that was touching the ground or too old. Some refer to this practice as lollipopping. -I also mowed the cover crop to give the plants some room to breathe and give the worms some good nutrient rich food as we move into flower. Everything the cover crop took, is given back to the soil. Nothing is wasted here folks. I like to think I respect the plant in that way similar to how I would think of a moose or buffalo hunted for food for my family; honor/respect the sacrifice and the cycle always. 👍 -I removed several tops to open up the canopy a bit. I took those tops and put them in my homemade aero cloner (cost about $15 to make-see picture). -After the clones root, I will plant them into the second bed seen in the veg tent. -Once I have identified my keeper pheno(s), I plan to self them to make my own feminized seeds for future runs. Ideally, I am moving towards a rotating cycle with at least half of each run made up of feminized seeds to guarantee some final numbers moving into flower. Silly restrictive plant counts keep my numbers low. Cheers! G

Definitely the thickest of any I have grown at their age. -Clones are chugging along but we will see how they do, no roots yet. Cheers! G

They were culled, chopping them up and layering them down into the mulch layer. -I was also able to confirm that Double Dragon #3 and Sunkiss x MAC #2 are females! Yay! 🙌 -Used foam wires and super cropping to train the remaining apical meristems into the holes in the canopy that culling the males opened up. -Most of the plants continue to show a nitrogen overabundance in slightly clawed leaf tips but it doesn't seem to be adversely effecting them a this time. -Clones were tough to maintain in the clone set up I had so they had to be given to the worms. I have decided to eventually just reveg this pod and take clones from that for my selfing run. -Plants started to get stinky so I installed a carbon filter to help keep it down a bit. I have never had veg plants that smelled so much. -I have actually been able to start watering about a half gallon every 3 days approximately so they are drinking quite a bit now. -Cleaned out my water reservoir and drip lines with a vinegar solution for maintenance. -Applied some cable management best practices to clean up the grow rooms a bit and make it a bit more satisfying to look at. 😏 Cheers!

This is the first run through these beds since I built them so hopefully they have eaten up some of that and next crop will be better. -Probably only a week or two more of Mammoth and then straight water from there.

She is an absolute branchy monster plant! Growing up close to the light so she isn't super happy but the flower room won't be empty for a while. May need to build a bigger tent.

Grow Specs: Breeder: Irie Genetics Strain: Double Dragon Genetic heritage: Durban Poison x Arise (Golden Goat x Daybreaker) Germination rate: 4/4 - 100% (kept first 3 in bed) Male:Female Ratio: 2:2 Container: 30 Gallon Smart Pot Medium: No till soil. (Roughly Build-a-soil recipe with additional amendments) Light: Spectrum King SK402 Water: Blumat Watering Systems Blusoak Hose + 5 gal reservoir Update schedule: I will try to send out the updates every Saturday or Sunday. For more frequent updates, add me on Instagram @grimbolthedruid Grow Schedule to Date: Sprout: 1/9/19 Veg Time: 45 days Flower Initiation Date: 2/24/19 Current Age: Day 69F as of 5/4/19 Updates/Observations: -They are chunkyyyy that is for sure. Might be small plants but I figure I will still be alright thanks to the light and strong genetics. -No flushing to be seen. The soil just has too much nitrogen for the size plants. -The Dragon's odor is definitely Durban!; the SKM smells like pure orange sweetness still. -This is their last week. I will water them one last time tomorrow and then harvest sometime next week/weekend. Glad to be able to run these out past 11 weeks flower. -In week 5 of flower, I pollinated one cola of each plant with some Durban Poison pollen gifted to me by my good friend @akbeanbrains on IG. He is an awesome breeder and I will grow some of his stuff out on here soon. I would recommend checking him out and asking for his seed list for sure. -Bonus: Double Dragon #4 the monster in veg getting ready for her run. I will probably take clones from her as well and keep a mom around. May the Fourth be with you!!! G

I learned that under these lights the plants don't stretch much so I changed up my plant size for the next run :) -I removed and separated the branches that I pollinated in week 5 of flower. The crosses I made were Double Dragon x Durban Poison F3 and (Sunkiss x MAC) x Durban Poison F3. -Had a lot of fun with this run and she did great for having an autopilot grow going. Couldn't spend much time out there but it is all good. -Smoke report and harvest weights coming in the next weeks! G

Week 18. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated

This is a real Sativa for me and my favorite thing I have grown by Irie Genetics so far. Get up and get your stuff done herb if you are inclined that way but definitely a heavy forehead punch that can sit me down if that is what is necessary too. Very strong in effect lasting over several hours for me as a daily consumer. She has this sweet, lemony, tone with an undercurrent of Durban Poison flavored cleaning products that makes people (myself included) say WOW anytime I open this jar. Grew like a champion and the only thing I wish I could change is that I put too much nutrients in the soil so they didn't really flush out as much as I would have like.

(Roughly Build-a-soil recipe with additional amendments) Light: Spectrum King SK402 Water: Blumat Watering Systems Blusoak Hose + 5 gal reservoir Sprout: 1/9/19 Veg Time: 45 days Flower Initiation Date: 2/24/19 Harvest Date: 5/11/2019 This was my first run in this environment and in this 30 gallon system. I learned a ton! I started this run with 6 regular seeds in this pot and unfortunately, only the two smaller of the plants ended up being females. I didn't know this for sure of course until about week 2 of flower, well after the race has started hence the low numbers on the scale. It may not be a lot now, but I have a big momma midway through flower now and another big clone on the way, and what I do have so far is absolutely dank. I plan to work with a genetic sex testing company to prevent this type of thing from happening in the future. I may also switch to smaller pots for a while to run some seeds. I just used my fingers and LST with the foam wrapped wire moderately to shape the plants into an even canopy. Water, Recharge, and Mammoth P for this organic pot's whole life. I gave it nothing for the last 4 weeks of it's life.

@Mr_Positivo, I’m hoping so! I wish I could turn off the worms sometimes though so they could flush out!

Hi G, nice grow you got there! I'd boost your likes because you're close to becomming master! Question: what is your source into growing no-till?
GrimbolTheDruid
GrimbolTheDruidcommented6 years ago
@Budcrack, I will get there sometime my friend, but thank you very much for your support! As far as a source for no-till stuff, I would recommend starting at buildasoil.com. They have all the reading material you need and very fair prices for top quality amendments. That is where I get most of my stuff. Good luck! G

@CaliGrown, Thanks man! It is a lot of fun but I won't lie, trying to dial in watering without being able to pick up the pot is roughhhhhhhh. Kind of missing pots tbh lol.
