Ripper seeds Radical Juice

So excited to try out this new strain from Ripper seeds. It's a cross of Tropicana Cookies and Runtz and is a Indica dominant strain. I've grown and had several different runtz versions over the years and have loved them all. So when I saw this new one from ripper seeds I had to get it, just had to grow a few other strains first lol. So I started both plants I believe 4 days after the Acapulco Gold plant in my 2x3 tent and as you can see there both doing amazing. 1 is the same height as the Acapulco Gold but has a much better lower structure with lots of branches. The other one is well, beautiful and growing and drinking up water faster then I can keep up lol. Now your probably wondering why are these two gorgeous plants still doing in 1 gal pots and not in any autopots yet. That's because I'm waiting for parts. Like always lol. Because I'm only doing two plants in my 4x4 tent, I wanted to make sure I had big enough pots to grow them nice and big. So I ordered two of the 5 gal smart pot modules for the plants. Just waiting for them to arrive. Should be here any day now. Well that's all for now, happy growing everyone!!!!

So they have be reported into the autopot system and moved to there tent. So far everything is going well except the fact there not absorbing water from the treys yet and that's odd. Usually when I transplant from the 1 gal to the autopot Usually 2-3 days later they have grown enough that when I turn the system on they start drinking from the treys. We're on day 6 since the move and there still not drinking from the treys. Hopefully in tje next day or so that'll change. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!!

Damn are these plants growing fast. The smaller one has only been FIMed so far with just a bit of LST. The bigger one I topped it about 6 days ago to slow it down a bit and the smaller one has almost caught up. I still have to put netting up so that I can add a bit of support for them as they grow and also so that I can stretch then out a bit to fill out my 4x4 space a bit better. They have until I have to flip my Acapulco Gold plant to flower to grow out because both tents are running from the same tank. I'm thinking a week or so more. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

Well this is a bit disappointing. As you can see from the pics my larger plant has been struck with a handful of issues. I started to notice it a few days before the end of last week and have spent the last week plus trying to figure out the issue. I believe that it was because my Ph monitor needednto be calibrated. It was showing .5 lower then it actually was. So when I had my Ph at 6.1 - 6.2 it actually was 6.6 - 6.7 and that's way to high for coco. Hopefully after I flip to flower it'll slowly correct itself. Well that's all so happy growing everyone!!!

The plant issue looks to be fixed thankfully and both plants have spread out really nicely now. If they keep growing at the rate they have been then another 5-6 days and I'll be able to finish doing any training and I'll be letting her grow out. The one on my right is still the bigger but the one on the left is starting to catch up. Had a issue with my autopot system today tho. Went to the grow room and noticed that my tank twmp had jumped up to 24.8c and my Ph had dropped to 1.8..... wtf??!! Looked in my tank and my probe was no longer submerged in the water by a good few inches.... dropped it into my tank and thought it was odd because in order for that to have happened the plants would have had to drank like a good 20L of water and there's only 3 plants hooked up to this tank..... then I noticed a bit of water on the floor, but not much. Went to my 2x3 tent and there it was.... the missing 20L. Some how the float got stuck open and was slowly leaking out. But not as fast as it would if it was filling up the tray. I cleaned it all up and hopefully fixed the issue after I cleaned the float up, not that it needed it. Well that's all for now. So happy growing!!!!

So you got a before and after photo from when I did my defoliation and lolipoping for the plants. They both are stressed out from all the training and are showing a few signs like purple stems and stocks where it's being bent and the leaves aren't praying like they should be at this stage. Hopefully they well grow out of it over the next few weeks as all the training is complete and it's grow time. The light is set to 100% now so I moved it up a bit to keep the ppfd at 1100 so to not go from stress from training to stress from to much light. I have Co2 for this tent but I haven't been running it due to cost rite now. Hopefully I well next round. Well that's all for now Happy growing everyone!!!

Man are these two plants looking beautiful!!! Sure my scrOG didn't work out very good but it still got 90% of the tent full and well help to keep the plant from maxing out the light height like my other tents well have to deal with. Starting to see a bit of pink in some of the leaves, and the buds are really starting to fatten up. Super stocked for thos grow!!! Happy growing everyone!!!!

Man both plants are growing great still and the bud count is crazy. I'm also seeing the leaves are starting to change a pinkish purple color already. I'm hoping that's not from some issue or something and is just it doing its thing. I hand feed today to get some run off and according to that everything should be good. I still have 6 to 7 more weeks to go before they well be getting harvested and honestly I feel like it's going to be a great harvest when it comes. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!!

Both plants are looking and smelling amazing. Starting to get a bit of color cha ge in both plants and the trenchomes are everywhere on the buds. Look like little crystals. I'm expecting a really good yeild this grow. But next grow I'm doing things a bit different and making sure to fill out the area better. Still got another 5 or so weeks to go before they get harvested so I'm expecting the buds to still get bigger before the end of week 7 or even 8. Anyways that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

The color and smell in this tent rite now is on point. Has a very fruity smell to it and the buds are showing some pinkish/purple colors. The yeild in this tent is going to be great for the most part. Probably higher then the last grow in this tent that's for sure. It's nice having the 3 tents going with 3 different strains BUT I've found my yeilds have gone down almost 40% with not just doing the room. I know that I was going to lose some of my yeild when I did this but not that much. Especially when I'm only using 8sqft less with the tents then I was with the room. And I'm doing longer veg. If I don't get my numbers up by the end of my next grow I might just say fuck it amd go back to the full room. Well that's all for now, happy growing everyone!!!

These plants are starting to look like there getting close to done. I've been looking all over the place for my scope and I can not find it anywhere.... guess I'm going to have to buy a new one... again lol. I've got way to much stuff lol. The smell coming from this tent is very sweet. The wife was out with me tonight looking at then and she noticed it rite away. The buds are looking absolutely amazing. Wouldn't count on anything less from ripper seeds. There product is top notch, better then some of the top seed companies out there that I've tried. Radical Juice is the 9th strain from there main line up that I've tried. There's 19 strains in there main lineup and my current grower goal is to grow them all. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

So I had a strong feeling during week 4 after I had to power outages (completely avoidable if I had realized I had hooked my dehumidifier and space heater up to the same braker) that one of the plants in the tent had herm on me. Well during this week I found seeds, but only on one plant. The one on the left side of the tent. The one on the right tho is completely fine looking and I couldn't find any seeds on it so far what so ever. The trenchomes on both plants are just starting to go amber, but regardless I've just started flashing. Need to finish this up and make room for the next run of plants. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

So we're 8 days into flush for these girls. Going to go atleast another 6 days if not 8. Trenchomes are just starting to turn amber so it all depends on them. Really excited to see this finished up, looks amazing so far. Well that's all for now so happy growing

Plants are now 2 weeks into flush and are looking done. Trenchomes are about 40% amber and the leaves are starting to look dry. Going to probably harvest her sometime in the next 24 hours. Stocked to try out because she looks and smells amazing!!! Well that's all so happy growing everyone!!!!

The stocks on both plants were massive and needed my big clippers to cut down. The buds look and smell amazing. The color is so vibrant. Going to be some amazing smoke when it's done drying and curing.
