Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Older Plants)- This week, I'm excited to report these plants are adjusting really well to the new room. They have began growing at a much faster pace, a lot of their color is returning and they are filling out this trellis way better! I'm going to give them one more week in Veg, just to get a couple potential branches to trellis height! I also used some Bulletproof SI from Cutting Edge solutions, I've been really interested in the benefits of adding Silica to my garden for a few weeks. Mainly the stronger cellular walls and assisting in nutrient uptake! I'm not sure if Bulletproof SI is organic! Ive just seen 420 Scene talking about it in a lot of videos and decided to give it a try! The ladies were praying today after it!
Tech Update- This week my Yinnick PH Pen finally crapped out and wouldn't calibrate in range (it was a decent ph pen for 36 dollars.) So I invested in an Apera PH Pen and it is much nicer! (75 dollars USD, on sale right now on Amazon, normally 100) I'm thankful to be able to be more confident adjusting my ph because I know I was off!
Raspberry Ripple Clones- My clones are also doing great and my grow-bro who took two of the clones is also reporting that his are doing well! We went to the local grow shop, a few days ago and the owner gifted me some Trinity from Roots organic, I'd heard about how beneficial the enzymes from kelps are. So I gave that a baby dosed run on the clones, following roots organics directions. They responded well! They're getting taller and forming their first branches, one particular number one clone is stretching a little more than the others! I'm not sure what that's about!
SourHeads- The SourHeads Flowers are fully trimmed and have been curing for almost 2 weeks! They're definitely starting to give off some sour aromas, that get stronger every day!
@THCpapa, both of these smell just fantastic! Key differences but that same raspberry smack. I didn't even realize what raspberry terps would really smell like until I smelled this. It's so undeniably raspberry. Not strawberry, not grape, not runtz. Raspberry. It's very unique!
Good luck with your grow! I popped 3 of 6 Ice Pie x Raspberry Boogie and all 3 hermaphrodited. Apparently its known to happen with Tiki Madman......keep an eye out
@Happy_Roots, thank you for commenting! I will definitely be keeping an eye out! I had figured with Raspberry Boogie being a Mosca Staple and how long he has worked with it, the crosses would be really stable. That wouldn't be ideal at all π¬
Looking good early flowering, I personally like pheno 1 visually. But hope they are both great results after harvest! Hope you continue with more blessings!!
@BigDripFelgo, the #1 Pheno definitely looks more like the pictures you see online of raspberry boogie, or anything in this colab! I'm loving it just for the bag appeal! Purple to the core! Thanks for checking out my grow!
@THCpapa, it was crazy to see so much diversity in these 2 phenos! A lot of the phenos I've seen online that look like winners, of these Raspberry Boogie colabs with Tiki Madman have shown that same "purple half leaf" feature. So my fingers are definitely crossed!
Thank you! I plan on flipping as soon as my flower room is free and they adjust to the environment in there! I'll clean in there really good! Then they'll get adjusted, get into their 5 gallon pots and under my flower light! Should be about 3-4 weeks!
@gottagrowsometime, thank you so much! I can't take credit for the Sourheads, a great friend of mine actually hunted that cut and was nice enough to let me run some clones to test my new set up!
@Grower_Of_Persia, it ended up curing out really nice! I do feel like I harvested just about a week early. I used a jewelers loupe to scope my trichomes out last time. Since then my buddy got this 45X microscope with a screen. I definitely noticed more clear trichomes than I could make out originally with that. So I'm thinking I'll do this next run with the Ripples a little longer! As for flavor. The purple number one pheno is so unique it's like gassy, old school purple where it's like earthy fruit. It's so hard to describe. It's definitely its own flavor, it's not runtzy or hazy or anything super familiar. The number 2 is kind of mimosa, hazy, smells kind of like fruit peels honestly!
@BigDripFelgo, I didn't dedicate a diary to the Sourheads! I got them from clones, the original genetics are called Nughead from mean gene I think! Edit: Nugheads is by skunktek not meangene
