I'm very excited because I've heard a lot of good things about ripper seeds. Together with my new exhaust system, these controllers with AC in the name, I'm very excited to see how it goes. Somehow I've always managed to stress the plants so much that sooner or later they'd have bananas. So I'm hoping to get around that this time with the vpd control.
Wish me good luck! 👽
One of the two Radical Juices is a little behind, but looks good.
The other has really picked up speed and is clearly the strongest of the 4 plants.
I have slowly adjusted the VPD from 0.6 to 0.8.
They look very happy and so am I. 😇
I have adjusted the VPD towards 1.0.
The plants are all happy and have now really started to grow.
One radical juice is a little behind, but I think only by 1-2 days. The other one is extremely strong.
Today Day 18
The Radical Juice are developing really well.
One is still a bit behind but is getting stronger. The first white hairs have appeared on the trunk.
The larger one has slowly started to stretch. I have very carefully started to tie the shoots downwards.
I am slowly trying to get the VPD towards 1.1.
But because of my environmental conditions, sometimes it is only 0.8. I hope I can still optimize this.
Both are strong.
Unfortunately, the new shoots have extremely yellow tips. They are actually in the biobizz light mix and have not yet received any fertilizer.
I'm a little unsure where this could be coming from. Maybe dry spots? Or too much light?
The DLI should actually be OK at just under 30.
VPD between 0.8 and 1.
😻😻😻
Adds to Growquestion below:
Tapwater at 250ppm and 25mg/l Cal + 7mg/l Mag
So i add 2ml now to reach something like 90mg/l cal and 30mg/l mag
3,5L Water + CalMag 380ppm PH5.95
-- runoff 1450ppm (but its organic soil. Ec is not clear there, right?) and runoff PH of 6.02
Hey there,
the new shoots have extremely yellow tips (only the rippers). They are actually in the biobizz light mix and have not yet received any fertilizer.
I'm a little unsure where this could be coming from. Maybe dry spots? Or too much light?
DLI at 30, VPD 0,8-1 😇
runoff 1450ppm
Either light mix was not mixed well ( they preload that soil ) or its something else. Reminds potash overload.
Looks like toxicity, sometimes you have very light feeding phenotypes, maybe thats the case.
The week went quite well.
I didn't have much time for the plants, but the burns on the big one seem to be slowly growing out.
The runoff from the last watering was also much clearer and the plant seems to be eating normally.
RJ1: 500ppm ph6.5 - Runoff 938ppm ph 6.5
VPD between 0.8 - 1.1
So far everything is fine.
One Radical Juice is still dealing with its burns and has grown extremely quickly.
Unfortunately there is only about 20cm of space to the lamp, but I can't hang it any higher. The other one is a bit squashed but does its job really well.
There is now a noticeable smell, but not very distinct yet.
VPD between 1.0 - 1.3 😶
So far everything has been good for the last week.
Both are developing well. 👽 The smaller one is getting huge resinous buds. The larger one has an incredible number of places where it is forming flowers. I hope it doesn't burn so close to the light. I have turned the intensity down but the light is now 20 hours instead of 18. 💤
VPD between 1.1 and 1.3 🙀
Last week everything went great. 👏👏👏 I gradually increased the fertilizer to almost 100%. They seem to like it.
They will probably need a few more weeks. The smell is amazing, but hard to describe.
Sometimes it is difficult to get the humidity below 60%. 🙀
VPD between 1 and 1.4 (768ppm ph6.3) 😈
Unfortunately I was out of town for 4 days, but the plants have held up quite well, even though I had humidity of up to 78% at times. 💩💩💩
The smaller one is a bit burnt, but looks fantastic, smells great and the colors are getting more fascinating every day. 😍👽
I'm going to slowly reduce the fertilizer now, it looks a bit like salt buildup.
VPD 0.9 - 1.45 🙏
The week went great. The other two plants have been harvested and the Radical Juice now has more space.👽
One is in good shape and is slowly in the time frame. The monster still needs time. Hopefully not more than 2-4 weeks.😻
VPD between 1.1 and 1.4 💀👻👽
The first was ripe and was harvested on day 79. 😇😍
With the big one, I harvested the main cola and hung the light a little lower to let the lower flowers ripen for another week.
The Radical Juice was great, I think it's my favorite plant of what I've grown so far.
Both phenos are really fire. 👽
Wet weight for the small RJ 405g
The main cola weighs 100g wet
Today, on day 85, the last RJ was harvested. The results are absolutely impressive.👽
The RJ2 had a wet weight of 405g and a dry weight of 70g.
The RJ1 really surprised me with a wet weight of 835g. Crazy 👻
I'll give you updates as soon as they're both dry and tested. Wish me luck.😇
Update:
The big Rj actually ended up with 154g of great dry flowers. I think maybe 30g were thinner flowers, the rest were really dense frosty buds. Thanks ripper seeds, that was really fun.
Of course I only kept the best and prettiest 49.9g of them and gave the rest back to gaia.
