Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week both Raspberry Ripple phenos in the flower room, began to build their nugs! I was very impressed at how quickly they both began to form nugs, I noticed the flowering begining on day 11! The number 2 Pheno is looking average and she didn't fill out the trellis net quite as good her sister strain, however she seems to be going strong!
The number 1 Pheno is really impressing me, it really filled out it's canopy and sports branches and a stalk nearly twice as thick as the number 2. It has also already began to form purple flower. Any pictures of the flowers that I've seen from this Mosca (x) Tiki Madman colab online, have been rich, purple phenotypes with chunky nugs; so I welcome the purple flowers. I suppose the increased anthocyanin production in the number 1 Pheno could be stress related, from the stalk split or the other accident it had in the veg tent, that knocked a branch off. However this plant seems very happy praying every day since the flip! So it doesn't worry me as much as it could! I went ahead and gave a little more top dress Build a Flower to get them through the stacking/ bulking phase. I prefer a "less is more" approach in the smaller pots im currently using so I amend less quantity but more frequently throughout flower. Ive got the lights up to 80% power (320 Watts)
Stay tuned, I have a feeling these nugs are about to ๐
Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The Number One Pheno's clones have all been topped. The Number 2's will probably be topped next week; when they are about 10-12 inches tall. I've been getting good branch growth on the number 1s since topping. I've still been alternating Silica by Cutting Edge Solutions and Microbe feed (Fish Sh!t and Trinity from Roots Organic) every other watering. My grow-bro who took a clone from one of each phenotype, has been reporting the ripples are going crazy in his full cycle mushroom naturally soil as well.
