I'm so hyped for my new grow! I ordered the seeds directly from Ripper Seeds and these guys just delivered. Great customer support, awesome stealth packaging and choosable freebies. They did amazing and i am more than happy to grow my first strain from ripper seeds ๐ช๐ฆ
I choose to grow ripper haze first, because i am craving for some amnesia and some citrusy flavour profile for my stash. As a regular amsterdam visitor i am very familiar with the "oldschool" amnesia haze from there and it is always my first buy when i'm there. So i think it may give some good impression of what the "ripper seeds"-guys did with this great strain. I also really dig the spanish weed and i think they got amazing seed companies there. And as it is a classic from the "ripper seeds" collection, i got high expectations and i'm really really hyped how this grow will play out.

Strain description:
A diamond that met in 2002 in one of our trips to Holland. This variety is more than a decade to be number one in all the letters of the coffee shops for aroma, Haze unmistakable citrus flavor and its effect โripperโ even for experienced users. Known under different names, the most popular of these is Amnesia Haze. RIPPER HAZE is the end result of our search for the perfect Haze: very powerful and lasting effect, rapid flowering cycle and intense aroma and flavor. Its large number of trichomes and its unique flavour make it your most precious jewel. So far one of the highest values of THC. Flowering outdoor: mid October Production: medium-high Effect: power, ripper.

I decided to try to rank my grows and their outcomes. So i can have a list of the strains i can consider of growing some again in the future. So this is just for personal tracking. I'm curious where "Ripper Haze" will sit after this grow.
1. Green Crack Punch (RQS): Delicious berry flavours, rock hard buds, sexy bag appeal, adaptable and great high. First grow was a lucky punch! Want to do it again, just better and more of all of that.
2. Pineapple Express (Barneys): Awesome and unique smell and taste, mellow high. Can get a bit stoney, but the flavours are where its at. Wanna try the photoperiods for taste.
2. Hulkberry (RQS): Taste is a bit random, high is awesome, buds are not as tight, bag appeal is meh.
4. Crystal Meth (Fastbuds): That grow was really fucked up. Unique high, interesting taste, nice colour. Not wanna try it again.
Day 0 - 02/10/23 For this grow, i aim to grow two plants in my 2x2x4. For germination i start with soaking them in water (sprinkled with mycos) and transplant them in peat startercubes after 24h. I expect this grow to be smoother, as we won't have the huge temperature problems. But maybe its just that i'm very confident about this grow (i hope this won't backfire), because my first two grows were going fine and delivered a decent smokable product.
As i guess the height may become an issue, i'm gonna attempt to mainline these girls. We'll see how this goes. Besides that will continue adding silica to the waterings, i think it really ads stability to the plants.
Day 1: When the seeds were soaked for 24 hours, i took them out of the water und put then in a peat seedstarter in which i sprinkled some mycos. Then i potted the seedstartercube into a regular plasticpot with Biobizz lightmix (with about 10% worm humus and some extra perlite on the bottom of the pot) and some more mycos. I water them only with a spraybottle the first few days and aim to keep the humidity up at about 80% inside the tent. The temps are around 21-23 degrees so thats fine and i turned on the light at 20% power. I know that they don't need light yet, but i just want to test the lightcycle so thats that. Now its time to close the lid and let the girls wake up from their slumber. :) Happy and exciting times!
Day 2: Domes are up. Humidity at 70-80%, temps at comfortable 24-26ยฐ, misting them every few hours with a spraybottle.
Day 3: There is a tiny glimpse of seedlings breaking through the soil to be seen in the first pot. So i hope all three seeds have germinated and i expect them to raise their heads over the ground in the next day or two.
I want to grow only two plants for this run, because i expect this strain to be pretty stretchy when flipping. And as i plan to mainline them, i need a longer veg for the ladies to recover from setting the mainline. So want to plan in some extra space for height managment, just in case. But so far things are going pretty good! Seems like we're right on track!
Temps are 24-25ยฐ, Humidity between 60 and 80ยฐ. My PH-Pen broke (again...), so i have to order a new one. Because of that no silica will be added until the meter is here, because also little amounts silica push the PH pretty high. For regular waterings, a few drops of PH-down in combination with the soilbuffering should be okay to eyeball (i hope).
Day 4: The first two seedlings are here โฅ๏ธ The third one is still digging through, but will be here soon. ๐๐ฑ In every grow, this is one of my favourite moments. New life, a fresh start and a new chance for a perfect run. So lets do everything we can, to give them the best conditions possible. Let's goooo ๐
Day 5: The third one is still in the making. Stem is out, but she did not manage to get her head out of the ground yet. But i try to resist assisting her (and damage her in the process). So i just keep on waiting. The other two girls seem fine, so thats nice. Temps are at around 25ยฐ, i had to take the domes off and put a humidifier in the tent, due to slightly too high temperatures. So humidity is at 60-70ยฐ at the moment and i got the airflow going to already give their stems a bit of a workout.
Day 6: All three made it out of the soil, which i call lucky. The third one was stuck for eternity and looks pretty battered. I hope she can make a quick recovery.
@Herbie101, hallo schaue mal bei ACE SEEDS vorbei die haben sehr viele und schรถne old school Sativas aber auch neue Sorten und sehr gut beschrieben sogar Labor test bei manchen Sorten.
@@OimRausch, Echt? Klasse! Wieder was gelernt, Danke dir! Und ja klar: Original ist immer besser๐ Aber ich bin sehr gespannt auf die Interpretation von den Rippers๐
@Herbie101,
Superstrains wรคr die Originale.. ich hat n Diary รผber die gemacht.. tolles Zeug..Rippers Amnesia is auch super nice, aber die Originale ist besser๐
@HippyHemulen, I never tried dutch passions amnesia, but the fucke up short memory was real with the amsterdam amnesia i got over there. Such a fine smoke with a nice euphoria. Would be awesome if the ripper haze would scratch that itch. More of the stoney "what the fuck did i wanna do here"- moments. Lovin it ๐
I'm very curious about the sour ripper as well! I love the classic old school strains brought up to new life. I also wanna try barneys acapulco gold, but my growspace is just too tiny for all the things i want to grow! ๐ญ๐
@Herbie101, Sour ripper is my watchlist cause im sour lover and ofc their classic Zombie kush need to be tested too. You tried Dutch passions Amnesia? Atleast they claim its original amnesia? Smoked many years ago some amnesia what was imported from Holland and that really fucked short memory like name says what i remember. ๐
happy growing, Herb!๐
Keep spoiling them๐, they will reward you for your love with some beautiful, shiney, frosty, fat buds๐
๐#gojohngo!โ
@D33jW, Thank youuu! I would love to be better at it. But comes time, comes experience! But never forget to have fun with what you doing.๐ happy growing buddy!๐ฑ๐๐
Followed, look forward to watching your grow. Amnesia Haze ehh? I may need to give this strain a try some day... I've heard great things and am a fan of super lemon haze.
@Browncoatgrows, Thanks a lot! I'm very happy to have you! If you like SLH you should try Amnesia! My wife was a lemon haze lover 10 years ago and Amnesia is by far her favourite strain now. They don't taste that different as far i can remember, but Amnesia has just that special twist (and a lot of nostalgia) which makes it unique for me.
@@justsomedude420, Thanks a lot buddy! ๐ Yeah that's such a great moment! I still have doubts about the third one in this run, but two plants are enough ๐
