Ripper seeds washing machine

Wasn't sure I was going to be able to do any diaries on this bunch of plants because the heat almost killed them. Was doing 5 different strains with 2 plants of each so 10 total, I'm down to 5 plants.... so we'll see how she goes. Only one of the washing machine survived and she's not looking to bad next to the fact she's almost a month old.... Well that's all for now happy growing everyone

Man what a busy week. I left for a small vacation with the family and left the plants in the care of someone and luckly everything is still alive lol. Then today I almost forgot to post my weekly diary because I was busy build my new grow office and moving all the equipment in. The room I built is where all the plants well eventually end up ones my coco and perlite arrive. This washing machine strain is growing really strong. Not surprising seeing as how nice ripper seeds strains have bee so far. Only one plant of the 15 ive done has been a dud. Roots are at the bottom of the 1 gal pot and well need to be transplanted soon. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone.

Simple week with a bit of work. Started with repotting the plants into my Autopot System after doing a very thorough cleaning. Then I did a small leaf strip and LST training the next day. There all now under my philzon "2000w" LED cree cob lights for the rest of veg and then when they go to flower they well be replaced with a few Spider-Farmer lights. So far that's all that's going on. So happy growing everyone!!!

Pretty easy going week. Did a bit of LST during the week with a nice topping done on September 4th. Plants are growing a bit more and more each day. Now with me turning the autopot system and air domes on September 4th I bet they well start to grow even faster. So when I turned the autopot system on none of the trays filled.... I got a bit of water into each of them but it all stopped.... I was about to start pulling everything apart when I thought to try opening the drain off on the end of the 16mm line. Opened it up and nothing. Waited a second a day just as I was about to close it POP!!! Big burst of water comes out the end of the line. Quickly closed it and went and checked the trays and 3 of the 5 were filling up. Waited tell the 3 were done and the checked the other 2, opened the floats and the water started coming out on both. After that everything was going smoothly..... atleast that's what I thought at first. Went to check on everything about 2 hours later and there's about 2L of water on the ground by the drain off pipe..... Soooooo quickly turned off the valve. Got a towel and cleaned up the mess. After I was done I opened the valve and looked for the leak. Found it quick at the drain off valve. Had a rather fast Drip coming out of it. So turned the valve off again and just opened it to fill the trays and then turned it off again. Going to have to look at getting a hose clamp maybe or see if just corrects itself. So far that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!!

This washing machine plant is a nice looking plant. It's growing a tiny bit faster then the other plants so I topped her at the beginning of the week to slow her down a bit and so the others could catch up. I'm trying to keep her a bit shorter then the other plants because if it's anything like all the other Ripper Seed plants I've grown, she well kick it into overdrive the first 3 weeks of flower and double in size. Temperature and humidity the last week having been staying within range for the most part. Had a few spikes in humidity a few times. Had to turn my 40 pint dehumidifier off a few times because of the heat coming off of it. The Autopot system is running smoothly. Removed the air stones and air pump from it and put a 400GPH water pump for circulation instead. Also Removed my 50w heater from my res also because I felt like the temperature of the room is keeping it warm enough. Did some fiming this week and also did a bit of LST but not much. Think I'm going to hold off on any more LST tell I get it closer to where the net well go. Ones they hit about 20 inches ill be flipping them to flower. Regardless of how short the other 3 plants at the far end are. Well that's all everyone Happy growing

This Washing machine plant by Ripper Seeds is by far the nicest looking single plant out of all the plants I'm running in this 4x8 space. It had a small bit of wind stress a week or so ago but it didn't slow down at all. It's responded great to all its training and bounced back quick from everything I've done to it. This is one of the reasons I keep going back to there seeds, ones you get past the germinating stage, there plants are strong and show great resistance to high stress and training. Now with that said I've had my fair share of issues when it comes to germinating there seeds just like I have with most other company's (just not on the level of Crop King Seeds, I'm lucky if 25-30% of there crap germinatied and they NEVER honored there 80% guarantee they claim, lol rant over). Just like the Grand daddy purple and Runtz Muffin plants, this one got topped at the start of the week and did a great job coming back from it. The trellis netting is up for when it grows into it. Now there is a very very good chance this plant might be moved to a different spot in the line up. It's a big plant so I can move it to the back and feel comfortable with it there. But one of my plants is far behind and I'd like to have it up front so I can keep a eye on it. Well that's everything growmies Happy growing!!!!

So far she is bouncing along nicely in the corner there. Think the extra space because the plants around it our shorter have made it spread out a bit more. Hopefully at the end of this next week with lollipoping and leaf strip it'll stretch out a bit more. Next to that nothing else going on. Happy growing everyone!!!

This is the last update I'll be doing on this post. It takes to much time to do all 6 strains on there own so I'll be starting a multi strain diary so if you follow this one and you want to see how it ends make sure to follow that grow. Ill still be doing a final update on each strain on the harvest total. Happy growing everyone!!!!

Not expecting a massive yeild with this grow. First time running in this grow space and have a few bugs to work out but should be interesting.
