4th grow, [Dead] Leaf Septoria

Disclaimer: I fill my diaries on the go and update them during the week. So if you like to get all the information and pics of innocent plants getting the herbie101 treatment, always check back on the last week to get the FULL picture (of a grower trying hard not to kill his plants). Thank you, have a wonderful week and happy growing! Strain Choice: For this very first run of 2024 i'm going with Sour Ripper from Ripper Seeds from Spain. Me and my wife are long time sativa lovers and i decided to grow myself some classics. I love sour diesel but it is/was hard to get in europe, so i'm really looking forward to see what Ripper Seeds has to offer. Since this run will be finished at the start of summer, i hope Sour Ripper will be the perfect smoke for those long and hot summer days. I'm hyped and ready to go! ☘️ Strain description: After much effort we can introduce into our catalog one of the varieties most appreciated by genetics collectors. We have worked to get one of the few Sour Diesel lines in a feminized version, keeping the main qualities of a good Sour D: Taste and power. Sour Ripper has a sativa structure with a long internode, little foliage and a more compact and appetizing head than the original Sour Diesel with which we work. Its flowering period is 65-70 days. The most “undergrown” flavor of the United States available for your collection. PLANT TYPE Sativa dominant INDOOR FLOWERING 60 to 70 days OUTDOOR FLOWERING October PRODUCCIÓN Very high EFFECT Strong FLAVOR Dry ☘️ 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 "Sour Ripper" 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. Ripper Haze (Ripper Seeds): Smaller buds, strong hazey and lemony aroma, hits hard and is long lasting, the perfect high for my taste. Ideal companion for parties, social gatherings and when you just want to have a good fun time. I want to run it again and make it even better! 3. 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. 4. Hulkberry (RQS): Taste is a bit random, high is awesome, buds are not as tight, bag appeal is meh. 5. Crystal Meth (Fastbuds): That grow was really fucked up. Unique high, interesting taste, nice colour. Not wanna try it again. Day 0 - 21.01.2024: Since my lovely wife surprised me with a little bit bigger tent, we got a bit more room to work with! ♥️ So i aim to grow two strains this run! Yippie! I soaked the seeds in water over night and put them directly in the soil today. We popped three seeds and hope for two to take for the ride. For the starter pots we go for 90% BioBizz Lightmix and 10% BioBizz Worm Humus. Since it is still pretty cold, we got them a seedling heating mat to have their roots warm and cozy. Also i sprinkled some Great White - premium mycorrhizae into the pots. So lets hope these beans will develop into some healthy seedlings! Fingers crossed! Day 1: The first little ripper seems to have successfully germinated and is currently fighting her way up. That makes me happy to see. Hope the others will follow soon! 1/3 so far! I love it! Day 3: All of them have germinated. One is looking good, one is not over groundlevel and the last one is wearing a helmet und pushed itself out of the soil. I could just throw her away, but i tried to rebury her and hope i did not damage the roots too much. We will see if ut works, but i'm not counting on this one! 😂 Day 5: The third one sadly did not make it up, so i threw her out. We got our two candidates we'll try to ger through their lifecycle. Temps are between 21 and 25°, RH is between 65 and 75%, get got some airflow and only get misted with phd water. So we just chill and wait for them unfolding their little green wings.
