Dialing It In – Ripper & Kosher

goldskunk123 OMG is currently leading the pack. Kosher Kush is slightly behind on the right, growing in a smaller pot, while the largest plant in the back is Radical Juice. All plants were flipped to a 12/12 flowering schedule on April 10, 2026. For the flowering phase, I’m running a final substrate mix of BioBizz All-Mix and Canna Terra Professional. So far, they’ve only been watered with pH-adjusted water, BioBizz CalMag, and Sensi Enzymes.

goldskunk123 keep it easy 😌

goldskunk123 Big fan of Ripper Seeds — I’ve run a few of their strains like Zake, Zombie Kush, Washing Machine, Eyeballs, Ripper Badazz and Ripper Haze. Really looking forward to OMG and Radical Juice “Kosher Kush — the packaging says it’s an S1 from DNA Genetics. I’ve never grown this strain before, but I’m looking for something solid and relaxing.”

goldskunk123 Flower Week 4 Plants were flipped to 12/12 on April 10th and are now entering week 4 since the flip. Overall they look healthy, green and vigorous, with a dense canopy and good growth. Radical Juice is the biggest and seems closest to flowering, OMG is bushier and compact, and Kosher Kush is smaller, untopped, in a smaller pot and a bit behind. Still no clear flowers visible yet, only transition/stretch signs, so I’ll keep monitoring closely this week and check the 12/12 cycle/light leaks. Current routine: feed/water/feed, always with Calmag and enzymes. Light defoliation 1–2x per week to improve light penetration and airflow.

goldskunk123 Day 44 since 12/12. Plants look a bit delayed in flower, but healthy and still developing. Lots of white pistils, buds starting to form, not rushing harvest based only on the calendar.

goldskunk123 Flowering Update — Day 58 from flip / around Day 43-45 true flower The girls were flipped to 12/12 on April 10th, so on paper they should be around day 58 of flowering. However, they clearly had a slow transition into real flowering. They took roughly 12–15 days before they really started stacking flowers properly, so I’m not counting them only by the flip date. Visually, I would say they are closer to day 43–45 of true flowering. There are still a lot of fresh white pistils, the buds are formed but still need more swelling, and they don’t look finished yet. Definitely not harvest time. I’m going by the plant maturity, not just the calendar. The plants are showing some natural yellowing, especially the taller one, but overall they are still alive, active and pushing flowers. The more compact plant looks greener and frostier, while the taller one is more faded and stretched, but still working. Last watering was a lighter one: water + CalMag + Hesi Enzymes. The feeding before that was: Bio Bloom 3 ml/L + Top Max 1 ml/L + Bio Grow 1 ml/L + CalMag 1 ml/L + Hesi Enzymes 1 ml/L. For the next watering I’m planning to go back to the same flowering feed, without increasing anything. The idea is to keep them fed but not overdo it. They still seem to need food to keep building flowers, but I don’t want to make aggressive changes this late in flower. Current plan: keep feeding steady, don’t flush yet, don’t harvest early, and keep watching the buds, pistils and trichomes. One important note: the Kosher Kush used to be bigger, but I accidentally broke one large branch that represented roughly 20% of the plant. Because of that, I’m not judging her current size or yield potential too harshly. She lost a significant part of her structure, but she is still flowering and doing her thing.
