I have been reading about ripen on the internet but not found really good information on how to use it or how it will treat my plant and if i should use it. I am in soil and i mix my nutes in a 10L bucket i am starting the 8 week of flower.

I have read that you put 4-6ml in one liter so i would put 40-60ml in the 10L bucket, Do i use the other 3 nutes "bloom, grow and micro" with ripen or just the ripen?

Thanks alot:-D:-D

ghe ripen is a forcing solution to speed up flowering.

I have used it in the past to hurry some plants along that were developing male flowers.

It impacts on flavour quite heavily and I would not recommend using it AT ALL.


Its a sulphur based 0-6-5. I still have almost a full bottle left from 2yrs ago.

Its supposed to help harmonise the end of flowering and should be used during your final 10 days of flowering.

According to the bottle directions.

You should use it on its own with nothing else.

How quickly do you want to finish them?

I got a 10week cheese strain finished in a little over 8weeks.

Give me some specifics?
What's the breeders flowering time?

How long have you been flowering?

Are you classing flowering from the moment you switched your lighting to 12/12?

If you can't wait long enough for your plants to finish, this probably isn't the hobby for you.
