[irie lion]

I think my wife knows I was looking at another lady

They look beautiful bro! Congrats!

Hopefully they behave all the way to the finish line for you

Wow! Your plants are beautiful, healthy and full. Yet at this stage they are way bigger and fuller than mine at 56 days! Well done, what a great set up!

Catching up over here....looking real tasty. Very nice work.

Thank you for stopping by and the kind words my friends, i will reward you with an update in 4 hours or so!

I won Pic of Month for April, got a freedom farm cap, tshirt and hoodie with 500ml juice. I won seeds last year round this time as well for another pic...haha



Ooi ooi @Cheesekop no need to be like a blushing bride on her wedding night playing show & tell brother.....haha, where you going in the states, got some good mates over that way in V.T and Mass.....

That is really cool brother. I live 15 mins from Freedom Farms and am lucky to have got to know Simon from FF. They are doing real good stuff there, organic organic organic. At least you got the gear to rep them! I will have to join up on 420 SA then. Are you online that side as much as you are here on ?

What on earth is that stink up in here mr.Irie cause I washed off the fish stink and leftover scales from breakfast so I know it ain't me but it appeals to my smell-o-sensory tunnels halfway up my face..hahaha
Gardens looking yummy brother, how those clones doing....??

I lollipopped all my clones 2 days ago just left the upper 2 nodes and growing tip going letting them recover and chill for a week then I'm going to top them and start training them for a outdoor winter grow see if my bullseye frame I got in my head will work for summer....

Have a cracker of a weekend brother, and tell the cheese he mustnt be so shy....haha

I was not kidding brother that Fire Juice is so stanky. I have worked with plenty stinky organic nutes but this may top the list. I get used to these smells quickly though. I dont mind, my nutes can stink like anything as long as it produces the goods haha.
The clones are doing just amazing. I also lolipopped most of them leaving the top 2-3 nodes. Big update coming later!
I'll tell @Cheesekop he needs to show his face - he's off to 'Merica tomorrow and is running around like a headless chicken getting shit together

Thanks brother, have a lovely weekend! It is a sunny day in the Cape. Peace!

Hey guys, time for an update of the irie garden. Day 77 and day 16 of flower.
All the plants are doing well so far and have been a real pleasure to grow. They have not stretched as much as I would have liked so far, but let’s see what happens. Flowers are stacking on slowly but surely and I’m sure by next week things will start getting seriously stinky in here I am quite a heavy feeder when it comes to nutrients and they all have been taking it really well. The Double Glock (100% Indica) is the one I’m quite impressed with and I’m really excited to see what it can do during our summer season! Both strains from Helderberg Genetics habe been fun to grow so far - I find the Glue X Sour Grape was sensitive to nitrogen during veg and it needed a separate feeding to the others. The Durban Poison X Sour Grape has been fun, but it is not as bushy as planned - I may have strectched her out a bit too much during LST I’m not sure but we’ll see how she fills out over the next couple weeks. Cheese is my favorite strain and has gave me no troubles thus far.
The clones have been doing great. I’ll be flowering some outdoors this winter - been really busy with work this week and have not had time to plan out what I’d like to do but I’ll keep you guys updated.
Thanks to everyone for checking in. Happy growing!

Gotta love those hairy roots!

 

[Lerugged]

Lekker boet.

 

[Strainyourbrain]

Nice @irie lion .
I like. plants are looking healthy. At this stage you should have some great harvesting coming your way.
Lekker roots on the clones as well..

 

[Lowrider72]

Nice plants..... And love me some root porn.....

 

[dynamo1]

Looking good, nice to hear they are smellyImpressive Iriesee ya

 

[Smeegol]

Wonder which is worse, Iries feet or his plants....haha morning brother how you doing this fine weekly morning.... it's called mrs.Jones, solid indica, but the grower won't tell me the parentage of this strain, he just chuckles away quietly when I ask him....

 

[Mr. Krip]

I finally got here & caught up, Brother - nice work!

Great job on the custom cabinet!

I'm a big fan of DIY and there's some good pics of a similar "stealth" cabinet I built in THIS POST and I used that cabinet for about eight years ( ) until I had to take everything down when I had to have some house construction done due to a flood/mold issue.

Also, the plants look great!

Finally, as an FYI for those interested in the plant bends....I keep all my moms & clones as Bonsais and, while I don't use it personally, the "pro bonsaiers" (if there is such a thing) wrap the branches of the plant with copper wire. The copper can be bent in any/multiple directions and, when the branches lignify, they just remove the wire. Some of you may want to check into this (search "bonsai wire") if you can't find the plastic bends and/or want more "flexibility"!

Hey Smegol sorry for being so inactive but been a crazy last two weeks. I have just left New York and im heading to Pittsfield, Massachusetts for the next 3 and a half months. Gonna be fun. Would be epic to meet up with some new 420 friends. Hope all is well. Will try stay on the journal as much as I can as I should have some free time.

Thanks @Strainyourbrain we are so stoked the plants are going so healthy, I'm unfortunately out of the country now so all I can do is watch, when all im wishing I can do is give them a good ol smell. We hoping for a great harvest, so far so good.

@Lowrider72 seeing those roots coming out of the jiffy pads when you wake up in the morning is the greatest thing ever, feel like I have given birth to my own kids haha and specially when the roots look like that!

@dynamo1 Thanks bro, couldn't be any happier with the plants. Unfortunately I cant give them a smell but Irie says they are smelling mad. Thanks for the comment.

@Smeegol I definitely reckon the plants smell worse, there's one thing just opening the bottle of fire juice indoors (which I highly recommend you don't do haha), but then once you have watered the plants its so gnarly bro. Hope you are having a good week bro.

@Mr. Krip thanks for your comment, means a lot. I am a carpenter so I built everything myself with the help of Irie of course. Its been such a fun project and has giving me so much joy. Irie has just been super busy with work so im sure he will update everyone soon. Happy days guys!

 

[Smeegol]

And here I was thinking @Cheesekop was a figment of Iries imagination....haha
Nice to meet you brother, so what you doing in Pittsburgh then...? I spent most of my 5 years in Vermont on Lake Champlain, and then spent winters working on ski resorts round the country met some of the best folk of my life honestly.....

 

[Lowrider72]

Welcome Cheesehead, any Friend of Iries....I will keep an eye on......hehehe.

I see alot of people watering to runoff, should I water to run off with cloth pots? Seems like if I did that I wouldn't have to water for a month lol

Thank you so much everyone! loving the support & kind words. Love having you all around - makes growing cannabis double the fun sharing it all with you

Thanks brother Krip! It's an honor having you around in my journal
I checked out your stealth cabinet - damn that's neat. I'm sure you pulled some mighty fine flowers out that cabinet in the 8 years
Thanks for the tip on the Bonsai wire - yesterday i headed to my local nursery/garden center and they had bonsai training wire at there bonsai section. I grabbed a pack and tried it out on a couple clones last night and i love it. Thanks for that Krip!
