Today, we dive into the world of Sideral seedlings by Ripper Seeds, a journey filled with promise and good buds.
✌️❤️🌱
Ripper Seeds have crafted the Sideral strain by combining the aromatic Lavender Kush with the legendary Amnesia, Sideral embodies the best of both worlds—robust growth, impressive yields, and a tantalizing aroma profile.
Interestingly, Sideral played a pivotal role in the development of Zombie Kush, another renowned strain in the cannabis world.
In my recent cultivation endeavor, I'm happy to report that all 5 seeds of the Sideral strain germinated successfully, and I'm currently nurturing the last two seedlings with anticipation and excitement. It's a journey filled with learning and joy as I witness their growth and unlock the full potential of this remarkable strain. Yes, I love growing THAT much.
What sets Ripper Seeds apart as growers is their dedication to quality and reliability. From careful breeding and selection to thorough testing and packaging, Ripper Seeds ensures that each seed embodies excellence and authenticity.
As my journey with the Sideral seedlings unfolds, stay tuned for updates on their progress, practical cultivation tips, and insights into the unique characteristics that make Sideral a favorite among growers. Join me in celebrating the artistry and passion of Ripper Seeds as we explore the exciting journey of Sideral seedlings, embracing the endless possibilities that cannabis cultivation offers.
Germ D1: Using paper towel/cotton pad method.
Germ D3: Planted 60 hours after start of germination. Taproot after 12 hour in cup h20. Threw that last Sideral seed in the soil. The extra one looks terrible. It’s small and was still floating after 60 hours. I don’t expect it to grow, but figured it couldn’t hurt.
D3 update: Seed 1 broke the soil. This seed was planted with a decent taproot. Seed 2 was planted closed tight.
D4: Seed 1 continues to sprout. She has helmet head that will be left alone. With the exception of a drop of water on it periodically. Seed 2 is developing root tip and digging its way to the surface.
D5: Seed 1 - sprout is opening
Seed 2- still digging it’s way to the surface

D1: Welcome to day one of vegetation with my Sideral seedlings from Ripper Seeds! Today marks the beginning of a new phase of growth and development as we enter the vegetative stage under the MARS TS1000 grow light in the grow tent.
After a successful germination period, I carefully transplanted the Sideral sisters into Fox Farm soil mixed with perlite, providing a well-balanced environment for healthy root development. This hybrid strain, created by Ripper Seeds through a cross between Lavender (Soma Seeds) and Amnesia Haze (Hy-Pro Seeds), is now ready to embark on its vegetative journey.
Positioned under the grow light, I ensured adequate light intensity and a very light watering to kickstart the vegetative growth phase. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be closely monitoring the sisters’ progress, adjusting environmental factors as needed, and providing the nutrients and care necessary for robust vegetative growth.
Stay tuned for updates on how the sisters thrives during this crucial stage of its growth cycle. ✌️❤️🌱
D2 - Both Lil Sis and her sibling, Big Sis, are now in their final pot, housed in a peat container to minimize transplant shock and facilitate monitoring. This setup, where I’m experimenting with growing two plants together in one pot, allows me to explore different training techniques, marking my first attempt at this approach
I made the decision to plant because the Peat container was falling apart and a root was already sticking out!
D2- Big Sis is thriving in her first 8 hours of Low-Stress Training (LST)! We’ve worked up to this point with a change made every hour, and she’s responding great. Starting LST early on helps her adapt gradually, controls her shape for better light exposure, develops more branches for higher yields, optimizes space, and improves air circulation. My goal with these sisters is to achieve twinning through LST, and this is my first attempt at this technique. Stay tuned for updates as Big Sis continues to grow into a healthy and productive plant.
D3: Lil Sis is progressing well and has started her stretch under the Low-Stress Training (LST) method on day 2.
D4: The sisters, who share a pot, are both doing well and ready for watering tonight. Big Sis is on Day 4, and Lil Sis is on Day 3, both showing healthy growth in their shared environment. Going forward, updates will follow the days that Big Sis goes by for simplicity. ✌️❤️🌱
This is my first go at this, and it’s all an experience. The decision to stress both Big Sis and Lil Sis at such a young age is in effort to prepare them for twinning, the process of growing two plants together in close proximity, often resulting in intertwined growth patterns. By implementing stress early on through techniques like Low-Stress Training (LST), I aim to encourage lateral growth and create a stronger foundation for potential twinning in the future.
The girls are officially a week old and moving into week two for days 8-14! ✌️❤️🌱
D11: Started liquid mycorrhizal.
Only giving water when soil is completely dry. Only 3 very light watering so far.
D12: Starting silica before turning off the lights.
D13: starting kelp before turning off the lights
D15: The sisters are 15 days old, and look fantastic! To maximize their growth potential, I’ve been using Low Stress Training (LST) techniques to keep their leaves from touching for as long as possible.
I’m hoping the 5 gallon Airpot gives both their root systems room to grow
D15: night - big sis was involved in an accident. I am attempting to graft a branch back on. (Update it didn’t work)
I am trying to stress her. Was trying to mainline early and slipped.
D16: the roots are sticking out the bottom of the FIVE GALLON BUCKET after two-weeks!
D17: lots of growth spots on big sis
D21: officially 3-weeks old! 40-50 more days until flowering.
Big sis is lollipopped
Lil sis is mainlined
The sisters are officially three-weeks old! Moving into week four D22-28.
🌿💚 Big sis got the sweet lollipop pruning, giving her a neat and tidy look, while lil sis went through the fancy main-lining technique, ensuring she grows strong and balanced. Now, they’re both thriving with roots bursting out of their cozy 5-gallon air pot! 🌱✨
The sisters are four weeks old!
Entering week five d29-d35
D30: Second topping with mainlining little sis. Big sis is being left alone for awhile as her stalk twists.
