Raspberry Ripple (Tiki Madman Colab)

Raspberry Ripple (Flowering Plants)- Number One Pheno- Going into week 7, the pistil hairs have for the most part all turned a bright orange, with very few stragglers that are still white left behind. The leaves are yellowing out a little harder but still retain some green color. This strain will for sure be placed in 10 or 15 gallon pots next grow to give it some more leg room in week 5! The purple hues are as bright and vibrant as they've ever been! The fragrance has became more tart this week, but still retains it's sour raspberry candy smell, it has hints of a leather, that really help amplify the smell! It's pretty loud! It almost does smell sort of like a runtz now, but with more undertones and less in your face tartness. Number Two Pheno- The coat of Trichomes on the number two are looking pretty frosty! They have began to stack on top of each other and become more milky white than clear and give the number two pheno a nice frosty look against the green, orange and slightly pink color! Ive even noticed a couple amber trichomes on select nugs that are right under the light on this pheno. Its fan leaves still remain mostly green, but are probably 35% faded. It's smells are still of the sweet raspberry wine or almost hazy. Very fruity. But not your typical "berry" or "tropical". Both plants have began to consume less water, it now takes around 3 days for them to uptake a fully saturated pot. This is a good sign in later flower that the plants are approaching the end of their lives. They will probably be harvested in around 10-14 days! Clones- Number One Pheno's- The training methods, I've been using are proving successful and I have got a lot of branches that will be good candidates to be top flowers going already Number Two Phenos- The number two phenos clones branches seem to grow pretty symmetrically, after one topping. So I haven't been training them much further. Just keeping up with weekly watering of Roots Organic Trinity! And Bi weekly watering of Mykos WP. I'm definitely having better health on these plants than I did on my veg cycle with the Raspberry Ripple's I grew from seed. I was able to bring the flowering plants back once they were transplanted. But using the build a soil 3.0, over the build a soil lite in the 1 gallons has helped keep up with the metabolism of these hungry plants a lot better. Ill still probably go 2 gallons for veg next time! Tech Upgrade- This week I purchased an HLG blackbird for my flower room It sports 6 QB200 quantum boards with Samsung LM301H White Diodes and Osram 660nm Far Reds, 600w power output, 1,465 umol/s 2.57 umol/j. I was very interested in this light and had to pick one up for myself. The light I bought to replace my AC infinity S44 ionboard, worked well it does have 4 quantum boards with lm301h diodes. It does however get hot and the dimmer switch dial doesn't click through settings, just goes up and down freely like a house light and it has some free hanging wiring. You can definitely tell the heat sink is import and not quality. So this was much needed replacement. That about sums up this week! Thank you for checking out this week's entry of my grow! -StarFish
