Getting ripped with Ripped Bubba!

Gave them all a good watering yesterday about .5L each until run-off.
The runts and BK could have waited for the snip but they're coming around.
The rest are looking awesome.
Just gave them some good H2O. I imagine that'll take em through until Sunday, Monday.

Debating on transplanting them next watering, wanted to give them a shot of juice, about 500ppm was thinking.
 
Ya last few days it already has a weed smell. Topping yesterday was really noticeable. Was kind of surprised actually.
Why you ask?

Scroga, Fr3d12 Thanks
Looking good Nutes
i was just blazed and curious if theres any difference between the RBs. (no specific reason really) im a first timer with some ripped bubba and plushberry at 28 days from seed (a bit behind the ideal but healthy). I'll only flower 3 plants so Im thinking about keepers. one plushberry gives a lil pink smell on the rub. hopefully its a gal and shell be my pink lady.

my bubbas are happy smelling like "plant" for the time being. Maybe i was hoping you had one with notes of unicorn breath or something;-)

Hmm well I don't know if it is one particular RB but I just noticed the last few days the room smelt like weed as oppose to plant as you say.

Hello everybody,

Just got a a quick shot after some transplanting today. It was a busy day, got a lot done.
Decided to go with straight water, think they'll be fine with it. I have read to take it easy on the nutrients with the RBs.
So far I gave them 1 feeding about 400ppm day 14 I believe.
This is Day 27, 5 Days after topping. The 4 transplanted are all Ripped Bubba.
Will finish transplanting tomorrow...

Well I got the whole crew transplanted now.
Gave RB 1-8 a feeding about 400ppm the day after transplant.
They started showing a little deficiencies just on the bottom set of fans.
With the transplanting and topping they've got 3 shots of pure water since their first feeding.
I rather see a little deficiency though then have to start flushing...
Other than that they're looking good I imagine they'll be shooting up any time now getting a good hold in those 3Gallons Smart Pots.

1st - Group Shot, Clones in back, Runts and Bubba Kush in back and front.
2nd - RB 1 or 3
3rd - RB1
4th - RB3

Gave them their all a good watering about 2L each H2O on Sunday.
They are coming along good.
Planning about 600ppm, so 1.2 EC next watering. Probably around Day 40.
I don't think that should be too much, any opinions?

Got all the clones planted today also.
Most were showing roots, not all but I'm sure they are all good been 10+days since snipped.

Now just to wait for sexing.

I am also very interested in how these turn out for you. I've been thinking of also trying the RB by Subcool so please keep us up to date.
I have grown others by Subcool like JTR, Chernobyl, Space Dawg and was pleased with all of the results and tastes.
I also understand that Subcool is a big fan of topping his strains.
I will be starting some Jesus OG soon and can't wait to finish them for viewing and tasting.
your ladies look like they're off to a great start.
Definitely along for the ride on this one.
Best of luck

Hey Thanks for stopping by Know One. I'm expecting a nice crop out of these. Never ran TGA before but I have faith.
Gave them a feeding yesterday Day 40, about 550ppm. Fed the clones their first shot of Voodoo Juice.
Seen 2 or 3 with female pre flowers also, so won't be long until I have the males weeded out.
Also stuck them under the 1000HPS with the T5's mounted on the wall on Day 39.
I'll grab a MH conversion bulb for next crop probably, maybe next week. They needed the extra light. Seem to be liking it.
Will post some shots when the males are culled.

Hello Hello,

Thanks everyone for stopping by, commenting, rep!
The Females are in! 4/10 Ripped Bubba ended up being girls.
Killed all the males as well as Bubba Kush along with the clones.
So looks like we're going with 4 ladies for the showcase.

They seemed to suffer a little deficiency. Was taking it to easy on the nutes.
A little purple stems and petioles on the leaves, also a little droopy.
Lasted about 3 days and but since the feeding right back on track.
Also moved them back under the T5's. Got the room 100% complete also.

So here is a few shots. The ladies in order, RB1, RB4, RB6 and RB7. Along with the group shot.
#7 is the one I had decapitated when topping, just my luck lol.
Was hoping to get 6 ladies at least but it is what it is, just going to have to veg these ladies a little longer.
Looks like I'll ending up having a little perpetual setup for now. Probably flip clones in a few weeks after I flip these.
Also popped a 5 pack of Cheese Quake today.

Nice healthy looking plants, 4/10 I guess it could have been better but then again it's better than nothing.

Thanks fr3d,

Yup that is what happens, no big deal. Easier to pick a mother not so much testing. lol
Took a look at the Cheesequake beans today too. 2/5 Under 12Hrs, 3/5 20Hrs. Looks like the other two are right there too. So planting tomorrow morning Imagine.
Got everything ready any ways. Also went and grabbed a bottle of OptiCal Mg and a few lbs of Dolomite Lime.

Water the girls today with about 1ml of CalMg to the Litre - No nutes. Just wanted to make sure they got enough.
Also measured them.
RB1 - 11" - Strongest since start - 1 and 4 are very similar.
RB4 - 10" - 1 and 4 are most Sativa like. Thinnest leaves, stretchiest.
RB6 - 9.5" - Seems like a mix - Stocky, Little fatter leave than 1 and 4, Also little stretchier than 7.
RB7 - 8.5" - Most Indica Like - Stockiest, Fattest Leaves

Gave the clones a little H2O also. They got Voodoo Juice about 3day ago.
Also mixed some of the Lime into my Promix for when I transplant to the 5 Gallons + Future batches.

Imagine I will still use the CalMag also though.
Any others actual experience with this? Did you need the extra CalMag in Veg also? or Just flower?

If you get a nice mother you're golden.
I live in a very hard water area so depending on how much rain there is I would be filtering the water to get it down from about 400ppm to 100 so I've never had any calcium issues.
For added magnesium I use epsom salts and find it works well and is only a couple of euro from the chemist.
What primary nutes are you using again?

I'm using Advanced Nutrients 3Part.
Ya my water reads 100-150ppm so I was pretty sure I was short there for Ca Mg.
I havn't touched PH either since start it hovers around 6.5-6.8 the couple times I did check.

AN is good stuff.
Your water is fairly clean so you probably need to supplement, 100-150 is an ideal starting point, I killed seedlings before by not being bothered to check and filter the water,on average it's around 300-400 but at times has risen to 600.
My water is about 6.5 and I use biobizz fishmix and bloom but I would have to check ph now and then cos it fluctuates with the weather.
Barring any disaster though those ladies will be good to you.
