Irie Genetics - Afterglow in Living Soil

Here we are on Day 7. Gals seem happy. Started em in DIY living soil, so figured there’s plenty of nutrient in there already. Watered with tap water every couple days.

Week 2. Still doing plain water/no nutes. Had 5 regular looking plants, 1 mutant, 1 runt.

Pics from Day 21. Gals are cruising. Started nutes in 3rd week. Mostly focusing on KNF style/lots of emphasis on microbes. Liquid Feed:silica boost, em1, FPJ (purple deadnettle), compost tea Topdress: Craftblend & bokashi.

Pics from Day 28. Liquid feed: silica, fpj, em1, popcorn sprouted seed tea (SST). Dry amendments: craft blend + azomite Truckin along. Due to vacation schedule these will prob go 8 week veg.

Week 5 - transplanted to 3 gal pots. Probably going to go 8 week veg. Starting to do some light defoliation to get more light to lower branches. Doing some LST as well to widen em out a bit. Dry amendments: craft blend, worm castings, compost, dolomite lime, bokashi Wet: FPJ, em1, compost tea

2/14 - day 42 - end of week 6 Gals are happy. Probably going to go 8 week veg before I flip due to vacation schedule. That’ll also allow the plants to get bigger so I can pull clones before flip. Having fun training them w clips and spreading em out some. Watering ~1.35L every 3rd day or so. Dry amendments: dolomite lime, worm castings Wet: silica, FPJ, FFJ, compost tea

2/21/25 - Day 49 - End of Week 7 Gals were bushing out like crazy so I did a pretty heavy defoliation to trim a lot of the stuff under canopy. Transplanting them to 10 gal pots tomorrow, then giving them a week to settle in before flipping to flower. Decided to only keep best 4 when I move to the 4x4 so it doesn’t get too crowded. Giving a friend the other 3 that are getting culled. Wet amendments: silica, compost tea, FFJ, FPJ Dry amendments: bokashi

2/28/25 - Day 56 Just finished up week 8. Culled 3 of the plants (gave to a friend) so the 4x4 flower tent will be 4x 10 gallon pots. I realized I only had half the amount of dirt I needed for the up-pot, so I mixed some up. As I began to transfer the first plant, I realized the fresh soil was pretty warm to the touch 😅. I mixed up DIY clackamas mix, but I think the Craft Blend stuff runs hot… After I transferred the first one, I decided to hold off on the other 3 to give the soil time to cool off. 4 days after transfer, AG#3 is still looking sad and droopy.. Separately, I laid out my vacation/travel schedule. Decided on 10 week veg instead of 8 week to allow me to be fully present during the entire harvest/dry/cure window. Only downside w that is these plants might get huge…

3/7/25 - Day 63 Got em all transplanted to 10 gallon pots. The diy Clackmas soil recipe was a little hot. Ag3 got nuked pretty good bc I transplanted straight into it. We’ll see how stunted it is later. Seems to have bounced back after 5-6 days of looking sad. The remaining 3, I waited 5 more days to transplant. They still looked a lil droopy for a day or two. But now, they have all bounced back and are looking happy! Decided to go for 10 week veg bc my vacation schedule. That will allow me to be fully present for the harvest window as well as dry/cure. Been having hella good time training the plants w LST clips. Wet amendments: compost tea, fpj, ffj, silica Dry amendments: bokashi

3/14/25 - Day 70 Just finished 10 week veg. Gonna move em all to the basement 4x4 this weekend and flip to flower. Plants seem kinda stubby…wonder if I trained em too hard? Or if all that defoliation was slowing em down? Anyways, we’ll see 🤷‍♂️ Wet amendements: compost tea, FPJ, FFJ, em1 Dry amendments: layer of compost, bokashi

I flipped to flower at the start of week 11 (3/16/25). Gals seem to be loving life. I’m learning a ton about growing and having a blast! Taking lots of notes, and coming up with ideas for how to improve next time! I can start to see the girls stretching a bit, and their water intake has started to increase. Made some popcorn/alfalfa SST that I poured on em this week. Wet amendments: Compost tea, FPJ, FFJ, SST, WCA, Epsom salts Dry amendments: worm castings, craft blend, bokashi, myko

3/28/25 F13 Were bout 2 weeks into stretch. Started to see the first signs of flowers ~day 11 🙌🤩 They seem to be doing well. Saw some leaf curling/dark leaves so maybe a smidge of Ntox. Also saw what may have been some PM on one of em, so ended up defoliating fan leaves to create more airflow. Hadn’t planned on defol til F21, but thought it was necessary here. AG5 just threw a new bubblegum terp that I haven’t smelled yet 😱 Also AG3 (the mutant) is the most resinous so far and has a delicious citrus aroma currently. Wet amendments: compost tea, FPJ, FFJ, WCA, em1, Epsom salt, silica Dry Amendments: 3 Tbsp craft blend

4/4/25 - F20 Approaching the end of stretch. During the 2nd week I started to notice what may have been some spots of PM…😳 ended up doin quite a bit of defoliation to improve airflow. Been doing foliar sprays: em5, zymes, h202 to keep PM at bay. Now that we’re ending week 3, hopefully won’t have to spray anything else… Ended up doin a bit of super cropping outer branches to spread the gals wider. Not sure if that stunted em or not… In general, the plants all seem very vertically challenged. I suspect it’s bc I couldn’t keep my mits off em… ✂️😅 Next grow, I need to try au natural! Hopefully they’ll stretch a bit more in the next couple days 🤞 Dry amendments: bokashi, craft blend, worm castings Wet amendments: silica, FPJ, FFJ, WCA, Epsom salts, em1 This was probably the last I include FPJ in an effort to wind down application of nitrogen as we enter mid flower.
