Selected as a tester for #irie_genetics
#irieBluePill tester feminized seeds recieved and sprouted on paper towels. Two seeds in a horse race- BP01 and BP02 starting in solo cups
Details:
Facility: I use a closet that was built as a darkroom. There's a 1.14 sq meter closet in the closet for my flower room. I control temp and humidity in a lung room outside the large closet. Separate veg area
Lighting- Flower: 530W of HLG Quantum Board LEDs - both V1's in 3000K and V2's R SPEC (w/ 660nm red LEDs) Veg: 205W of 4000K HLG QB-120's
Growth Medium: Soil (Fox Farms Ocean Forest/Happy Frog mix or Ocean Forest/Roots Organic mix) in 5g radicle bags and 7g fabric pots
Watering: By hand
Nutrients: Dyna-Gro- Protekt, Foliage-Pro, Bloom, and Mag-Pro. Adding KLN at first seedling waterings.
Additives: Walace Organic Wonder Mycorrhizal Inoculant, Mammoth P, and Real Grower's Recharge
Pest Management: Fungus Gnats- DE and Yellow sticky cards, Spider Mites: Alternating rounds of Rosemary Oil & Soap, Neem Oil & Soap, and Mammoth Biocontrol Preventative. I have also had short episodes of PM and Bud Rot in Summer but these seem to have abated by adding a dehumidifier.
Lights - hand made with HLG QB's and dimmable Meanwell drivers, aluminum angle stock from Lowes, hangers are SS fishing leaders. Power cords are extension cords with end cut off.
Very affordable, versatile, dimmable fixtures.
Robust growth under the HLG 4000K QB120's. Roots visible through the sides and bottom of the Radicle bags air pruning nicely.
Manifolding will start next week.
Starting wk 4V with training and trimming for mainlines.
Sprinkleled a handful of worm castings on each one and mixed it in the top layer. They are growing robustly.
FYI- A really good tutorial for Mainline and Manifold Training

Wk 5V last toppings for mainlines to produce 8 mains. 8 and 10" tall with large stems.
Transplanted to final 7gal Radicle bags adding Mycorrhizal fungi inoculate and worm castings in the process. Both plants continue growing robustly, leaves are like cardboard.. Robust growth with roots visible out the bottoms of the Radicle bags.
These are just about ready, waiting for some room in the .bloom closet.
BP01 is 14.5 inches and a beautiful flat top.
BP02 is 12 inches tall with curly new growth.
Just about done at the end of wk 7F.
Trichomes are >85% cloudy, 10% amber. Lots of color came in in the last week. Smells earthy like a fir tree forest with diesel fuel undertones. Have been giving it Ph'd water with only some Mammoth P. This will be its last full week I'm sure.
@All8up,
Lol o ic well sweet i seen the actual pill an was like wat the hell is that some kind of new nutirent u jus give ur plant a pill hahahaha. But yea so wat the actual picture of the blue pills is jus a pic then or what? But yea how do u hear about or find breeders doing test runs with there beans
@FrostyBlaze420, It's one a couple of test strains from Irie Genetics. There are "Red Pill" and "Blue Pill" testers that I see in posts being grown right now.
They had called for testers in an episode of The Grow From Your Heart podcast, I applied, and was accepted. These are unreleased strains being grown out with different methods, nutrients, lights, etc... to give the breeder feedback on the cross. If all goes well, it may end up as a strain for sale with a real name. Today, I only know it as a "Blue Pill" fem.
@Ferenc, I had just soaked them a few minutes before, the water in pan soaked up in a few minutes. The Radicle bags really let the roots breathe, but they do dry out quicker than plastic pots. This is my first grow using the 1 gal Radicle bags.
@magicUmbrella,
Calyx smoke is a good representation/ preview of final product.
At end of drying they don't taste green.
My wife's call on this was strong effects from a smooth smoke that made your mouth tingle a bit.
Hey bro things are lookn great so far congrats. These arent autos are they? If they are how did u top them twice for the manifold and not stunt them. Or are they photos? Either way man they look great an like they are loving life congrats.
