I've had weak autos with more potency. Two plants, very small fairly tight buds covered in orange hairs, and it's a pretty "reveal" when you peel off the leaves. Gassy stinky and although it isn't cured, I'm just talking about the effects. If a strain has some nice smells, tastes, colors - that's just a bonus. Truly the only things I care about are potency and (a distant 2nd is) yield. Weak for a regular smoker. I could've let them go a week or two longer, to be completely fair, but the grow was almost perfect otherwise. Prob won't run Ripper again with so many others to try out. The Planet of the Grapes that I'm running, along with Cali Connection LA Cookies and Mamiko Chem Cookies put both of these strains to shame already. Looking back a month after harvest I think I chopped 2-3 weeks too early, and it's unfair to blame the genetics when I was trying for only my 2nd successful grow. They looked healthy but under-developed, smallish and I stunted them by flipping to flower too soon after topping them.

Reviews. Nutrient
Alternate this with Recharge in every watering.
I didn't use Sweet Grape. I use CM up to Week 3 of flower then Sweet from Week 4 to the end. It's a bulking agent and an additive so it doesn't contribute anything to NPK.
Didn't help with this weak ass shit either. That's all I know.
Reviews. Lamp
Amazing veg light that can handle early flowering too.
Reviews. Tent
I like that it's pliable and I can open and close a lot of intakes, door, etc. My lung room is pitch black though so light leaks aren't too important. For my veg tent- for that reason, I use an AC infinity 2x3

Where's the dry weight? So confusing! So I ended up with about 4 oz off of these 2 Ripper plants. Yeah, yield may not be a priority but I guess I should be happy I don't have to store anymore of it I guess. Sorry for no photos but I'm done with this grow. Seriously disappointed in 4 months turning out like this. GENETICS ARE KEY! My first/only big harvest last year (Mamiko Chem Cookies) I pulled 17 oz off of 3 plants and the THC content was upper 20's. Good luck out there! NO MIDS!

from my experience many of the plants that have the potential to deliver very high grade need to be grown perfectly to really get the quality out of them. Its easier to get good results with plants that are easier to grow. Don't sleep on ripper seeds, there are many high quality phenos to be found in their collection, but maybe you want to first go for seeds from humbolt seed company (check out their blueberry cupcake, or jelly donutz) to have a high chance of a very successful grow with nothing lacking in the quality department.
