Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Older Plants)- It's Finally time, after a long wait we've finally flipped to flower (thank you for your patience!) After taking on that magnesium deficiency and allowing the plants to adapt to their new pots, and new environment. They have came back swinging! I defoliated a lot of lower growth, trying to really push that potential to the top sites! On my SourHeads grow I was a little scared to really get in there defoliating and got more larf than I thought I would. I used Silica the second to last watering and I used some of my Trinity kelp and alfalfa mix. I also used some organic wettable sulfur from IMustGarden at 1 Tsp/ Gallon of water in a foiliar spray for IPM. I'm currently running the light at max height, on setting 3/6, pulling 200w from the outlet. I'll be going up next week to 4, then pushing to the full 400w during the flower bulking stages! They have been really filling out this trellis and it's awesome, how I was able to use the trellis to my advantage and sort of even out my canopy. Sort of a mini scrog.
Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The clones are beginning to develop branches! It felt awesome to not get as long of a stretch on these clones. Starting in a slightly bigger pot, under the Viparspectra 100w vs the AC Infinity Germination light strip in the cell tray, has given these ladies the resources they need to create biomass faster! The #1 Phenos are showing more of a tendency to stretch than the #2s for sure!
SourHeads (Flowers)- The SourHeads now seems to be in its final week or two of cure. Way more of a concentrated sour aroma, the greenish smell is beginning to fade. Hygrometers locking out from 60%-62%.
@THCpapa, both of these smell just fantastic! Key differences but that same raspberry smack. I didn't even realize what raspberry terps would really smell like until I smelled this. It's so undeniably raspberry. Not strawberry, not grape, not runtz. Raspberry. It's very unique!
Good luck with your grow! I popped 3 of 6 Ice Pie x Raspberry Boogie and all 3 hermaphrodited. Apparently its known to happen with Tiki Madman......keep an eye out
@Happy_Roots, thank you for commenting! I will definitely be keeping an eye out! I had figured with Raspberry Boogie being a Mosca Staple and how long he has worked with it, the crosses would be really stable. That wouldn't be ideal at all ๐ฌ
Looking good early flowering, I personally like pheno 1 visually. But hope they are both great results after harvest! Hope you continue with more blessings!!
@BigDripFelgo, the #1 Pheno definitely looks more like the pictures you see online of raspberry boogie, or anything in this colab! I'm loving it just for the bag appeal! Purple to the core! Thanks for checking out my grow!
@THCpapa, it was crazy to see so much diversity in these 2 phenos! A lot of the phenos I've seen online that look like winners, of these Raspberry Boogie colabs with Tiki Madman have shown that same "purple half leaf" feature. So my fingers are definitely crossed!
Thank you! I plan on flipping as soon as my flower room is free and they adjust to the environment in there! I'll clean in there really good! Then they'll get adjusted, get into their 5 gallon pots and under my flower light! Should be about 3-4 weeks!
@gottagrowsometime, thank you so much! I can't take credit for the Sourheads, a great friend of mine actually hunted that cut and was nice enough to let me run some clones to test my new set up!
@Grower_Of_Persia, it ended up curing out really nice! I do feel like I harvested just about a week early. I used a jewelers loupe to scope my trichomes out last time. Since then my buddy got this 45X microscope with a screen. I definitely noticed more clear trichomes than I could make out originally with that. So I'm thinking I'll do this next run with the Ripples a little longer! As for flavor. The purple number one pheno is so unique it's like gassy, old school purple where it's like earthy fruit. It's so hard to describe. It's definitely its own flavor, it's not runtzy or hazy or anything super familiar. The number 2 is kind of mimosa, hazy, smells kind of like fruit peels honestly!
@BigDripFelgo, I didn't dedicate a diary to the Sourheads! I got them from clones, the original genetics are called Nughead from mean gene I think! Edit: Nugheads is by skunktek not meangene
