Resistance
Neutral
Ripley''s OG ended up being some fantastic smoke. She grew to just over 2 feet tall with some light LST in a 5 gallon SmartPot. The main cola was a giant bud the size of a large coffee mug. There were 4 or 5 other side branches that produced similarly thick buds. She seemed to be a little more sensitive to pH fluctuations and feeds than her siblings from different breeders. Her finished flowers produce noticeably more kief when ground than I have seen from most other strains I''ve tried. She has a unique flavor that I can''t really describe -- almost like a sweet tea.

Reviews. Nutrient
I was given free samples of the Elite Garden nutrients line when I went to my local hydro store for gear to start this grow. The mixes of the nutrients did not seem to mess with my water's PPM and PH as much as I had expected. I love that they have an app for my iPhone where it will adjust the weekly feeding chart based on the life cycle and/or reservoir size. It's helpful for when I need to make adjustments on the fly. I feel as if their price point is fair for the quality of their products; seemed competitive with other bottled nutrients at the hydro store.
I kept on hearing nothing but good things about this product on a podcast I listen to on YouTube called Wake & Bake America. I ordered it because I heard it was as close to a silver bullet for lockout/deficiency problems as there is. By the time it arrived (around day 50ish), I was seeing evidence of lockout and/or signs of a couple different deficiencies starting to develop on multiple plants. I used this stuff as a hail mary and sure enough, within 48 hours, I did see improved plant health as guaranteed by Real Growers. All these wicked microbes seemed to regulate the nutrients being taken up through the roots and I was seeing vibrant, heathy greens returning my plants within a couple of days.
I don't think this supplement was all that necessary for me to purchase when running the Elite nutrients line. I neglected to check the label to see that Elite already contains Calcium and Magnesium before I purchased this to start this grow.

Ripley''s OG was harvested on Day 82 with about 15% amber trichomes. The only trouble this plant gave me that is worth mentioning is the fact that she was a pain in the ass to trim! Most of her buds (aside from the top buds) are fluffy and leafy. It has a unique, funky-herbal smell that I can''t quite put my finger on. Produces a long-lasting all-over high that is great for most situations.

I'll have to concur with several other posts here. Your diary is quite detailed, I like it a lot. Can't wait for this bad girl to be up for the monthly voting ๐Ÿ˜‰

So what exactly happened to cause the rot?
grundoh
grundoh
@DabCrab I think it was a combination of factors. The first being that about 10 days ago, my area was going through random power outages for 2-3 days. There were some extended periods of darkness which caused temp to go down and humidity to go up. I was also skimping on airflow. All I had for airflow before I noticed the rot was a small clip fan up near the top of my tent and my fan for my carbon filter on low. The 3rd factor was the main cola and that side branch nug being CHUNKY. It was so fat and just kept stacking more bud. Apparently that coupled with the other factors make for perfect conditions for mold. I turned my carbon filter fan up to medium-high and added a 18" oscillating fan on medium. That seems to be holding humidity at 43-53% and temperature at 68F-78F. Next time around I am going to leave my lights on 24/7 because that will keep the conditions more favorable and stable.

@@Tryhard,tall ones are likely to be sativa dominant.Next time you can set a scrog and keep both sativa and indica at same height.

man nice grow ,good plants,but you have mold on Main bud industrial plant ,baddd ๐Ÿ˜Œ

@SsS_SsS good eye! i checked it out and sure enough, the main cola had mold all inside the lower half of the bud. after i finished inspecting the plant i found more mold on a larger side cola. i cut out all of the infected areas and added an oscillating fan to my tent to try and increase the air circulation. My heart sank cutting off that fat main cola but it was for the best. I definitely will have to invest in some temperature/humidity control stuff for my next grow; that seems to be my biggest enemy in the space I have.

Tight I'm not the only one running the Widow and Ripley from the Seedsman bundle! I'm amazed at how much better the freebies did than the Fastbuds genetics I actually paid for lol

@TheLastDaburai, Hah, thanks! Yup I definitely couldn't resist those free Ripley's OG beans on Seedsman. I've heard mixed results about freebie, bank-brand, autos from these various seedbanks. This being my first grow and all, I figured I'd try out their White Widow since that strain has never let me down before. It's a little fussy when it comes to its nutrients but I can't complain about much else at this stage. I really wanted to do an OG grow since I have PTSD and I have found OG strains to be a nice balance of what I need medicine-wise throughout my day. Therefore, I couldn't resist the Ripley's OG freebies! I have never run any FastBuds before. From what little I've read about them, it seems to be the flip of a coin with regards to success.

@CBD_Sweden Thanks. I will also be curious to see the dry weight of IPACBD when she's all done because she has huge, thick buds that just keep getting fatter instead of ripening (not complaining). She is my favorite smelling plant in my tent, that's for sure!
