your like a book...so much knowledge...thanks for the update..Im real itchy to see some of these strains in my grow room by summer time...

Ok so by now I am beyond excited. The books say you have to start thousands of seeds and go to college to get these kind of results. Can it really be as easy as Dank X dank = Danker?
Ed still thinks not but time and time again you will see what a good eye and some hard work and passion can result in.

We also selected the most resinous and dankest male to pollinate our Apollo-13 Mother plant.
If you can't find a proper genetic line to create the flavors you want then maybe making your own is the best route?

I first want to start off by saying WOW, anyone who harvests this pheno will know for sure it's the Soylent pheno once they start to trim her, your eyes burn like wild from the very strong pine and lemon cleaner smell. I'm telling you honestly and not shatting you one bit my eyes watered and my nose burnt the whole time trimming this trimming nightmare, sticky icky.... This will not be a huge yielder as I made seed from this run but it is the frostiest plant I've grown, and believe you me I've grown some champs in that department (pineapple skunk, OG champagne Kush, MK Ultra & Heck Vortex to name a few). This plant produced very thin screwdriver handle thickness buds that pretty much stopped active calyx growth early and produced copious amounts of resin instead, resin production was evident from day 12 in 12/12 but really started to fatten up the heads around day 50 or so. Unlike my funky pheno of Vortex the resin glands stood much shorter on this JTR which made it look like it was blanketed in white cloudy resin heads very early, the Vortex all though a resin factory has long glands and without any magnification harvest can be visually distinguished with the help of the wide separation of the large glandular heads, this due to the longer glandular stock. This pheno of JTR is incredible in the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a visually active gland head, yet the whole stalk and the head are one mass of resin(sorry folks no macro’s this time my Nikkor 90mm is being repaired), and due to its closer proximity made it not only look blanketed but was a trick to try and trim at a decent rate. Trimming would have been a breeze as the buds grew very little leaf and what leaf it did grow where single segment leafs... essentially resin leafsickles, but they where sticky and very greasy when cutting causing multiple stoppages due to scissor gumming and the inevitable goo smoke as we continue trimming .

Its no secret that many UK growers consider American breeders wankers, but look what a few hard core Brits had to say about JTR

Hi...thanks SHSG, Peesh and Banana man is that mr b on AN?

To answer yer question I'll try to desribe my smoking experience with the ripper...through out the day I smoke somewhat mild but consistent usually taking a puff here a puff there and usually not getting overwhelmingly hi...however later this afternoon I wanted to get testy with the Jack and take more than a mild 1-2 hit dose and I believe I took about 5+ cool hits I really don't remember as it was an experience... that lasted quite some time...the hi is very strong in the head almost feeling it inside yer head physically and makes an over the top pain killer because it is so thought provoking and will put you in a different realm of thinking and definately make you forget about pain...some paranoyia but very pleasant at the same time...makes a good cheery day smoke if taken in light doses...very flavorful, very fruity all phenos smell like 1 fruit or another...the hi is very creeper....at first you make think this aint that strong but then whammo...it hits you hard and there's no turning back then...you will be deep in thought and meditative for quite some time...the duration and intensity is strong and thought provoking....definately at the APEX of great genetics hats off to breeder...Subcool, and Miss Jill & TGA family and associates....world class kick ass super grass.....

I hope this answers yer question SHSG...peace and thanks fer stoppin by...

hey sub guess what ? i have got a tradmark jtr looks bigger than the big yielding cut from pistils and is textbook jtr how you describe it ..... it is as big as my pineapple as a single header , the other pheno is the spaz pheno grows flat tops with pointy up leaves ..... the first one looks like it wants to grow a long full bud its got all the resin a man could wish for and more .....
there is a photo in bmans thread sonic seed mini tour .......

i will run the jtr in my main room after the kali shnapple 2 ...... so there will be 49 of your daughters soaking up 9 x 600wt lights in a 8ft x 8ft stage......
they always get big in that room 5 to 8 kegs...... ill get some amazing ripper shots then mate.......

just want to add guys i am no bum chum if i think some thing is crap i say so.....

in the pack of seeds sub gave me wich i bought at the last cup.... i have germed them all .. all had the smae overall smell that is discribed by sub. all flower about the time i was told , i had a good sellection to choose from one pack of seeds ........ this is the first strain i have bought thats does what it said on the packet, all seeds being a similer vertion of its self.......

cheers sub mate , i have done all the seeds from one pack and i couldnt of spent my money any better i swear to god .......

i should have listened to you when you told me not to by the super bud seeds from sensi as they were shit imo..

i got agent o and space queen in test next cant wait .....

JTR grown by an Oregon Medical Co-op harvesting 4 pounds.

Ok so thats it this is the hybrid that started it all. No matter what people thought of TGA once people started growing out this cross and smoking it the word spread and no matter what I do for the rest of my life this work will live on in gardens everywhere.

If I sound proud I am so please excuse me I am just a simple pothead that made JTR

I haven’t taken pictures of Jack the Ripper in awhile. The ones on this post were taken in 2006 and 2007. After the book I am trying to beef my picture files back up as I moved everything pre book onto a portable 80 gig drive for storage.

The high from JTR is quite the experience starting with white noise after just a few hits then heavy visual impairment and an almost psychedelic high.
Shes impressive to even a seasoned pothead and one of my favorite traits is lemon smelling bong water???

When used in edibles and prepared tinctures this is powerful medicine.
When smoked it tends to be a bit harsh do to all the resin.
There are medical cuts available all over the west coast and its pretty easy to locate this short beefy female.
I donated a trey to the local med co-op and its circulated in legal circles everywhere!
