Some shots of the pheno hunt veggers coming up. Was sexing them, about 1/2 have fully sexed, the others are still being difficult to read. Looking like 8 to 11 females out of the total of 18. Will hold them for ~3 weeks in the 1gal's to keep the size reasonable and up-pot them to 3gal's about a week before the flip. Will clone and do some culling of 100% sexed males to get the space I need as they grow out. Have 2x 36-slot cloners going to manage all these hunt phenos until I get to try them, then there'll be a mass cull down to the keepers 
There's 8x Dream Ripper BX1's on the left in the 2x4' and 2x Blue Ripper x Fireballs F1's. On the right in the 32x32" are 6x Blue Harley BX1's and 2x Blue Ripper x Fireballs.
Cheers

lol, taking photography to the next level.
i gotta spare trail cam sitting around some where
think mine is going in my outdoor garden however. see if i can identify the deer who ate half my strawberry plant.
if it is who i think it is, he's gonna be a 5 year old stud this fall with a nice rack. i like deer meat. i don't think he knows that because i have let him walk since he was a fawn. been watching him that long.

I do like that IR feature in those Cams at this stagelol, taking photography to the next level.

I have an outdoor version, one of those dome types and waterproof for outdoor. I can set it to send a pic to my email when the motion sensor trips. Not something you want to have on all the time but good for what you're describing. Good luck capturing that strawberry stealing critter, rig a trigger to the camera and you've got some lunch

Frost check at day 28/4 weeks from flip.
Not a huge difference in the Blue Ripper BX1's, there's 3 of 5 that look much the same so far, slight differences in smell and how dense the buds are stacking. It's basically two phenos, short and tall, shorter one's aren't as tightly stacked.
P2:
P3:
P4:
P5:
P6:
Columbian Ripper's have some variation but really two main phenos, 3 that are similar in structure with slight variations on bud structure/shape. The 2nd pheno is quite different and nice but the winner is either P2 or P6, P6 seems to be winning on frost and smell intensity.

Awesome Post Gro. It is fun to watch the process play out. :0)So I hadn't posted anything about the phenos in there. Been watching them close as they develop and finding a few nice plants in there. 2 phenos from each of the Blue Ripper BX1's and Columbian Ripper F1's are looking like winners.
There are 5 fems of the original 10 Blue Ripper BX1's that made it through to flower. 2 of those 5 are rks phenos, that is they have that road kill skunk piss smell. What's interesting with these is that the male that made the BX1's was the original F1 male (which had the rks, right from veg on), crossed with an F2 female. I tagged those BR2-5 BX1 which was the BR F2-Pheno5 female with crazy Blueberry fuel terps. Those were the only batch sent out, an open pollination that made ~600 seeds. So there're out there if you run enough seeds. That's 2x 10 packs which gave me the rks male and 2x rks females. The next cross between the BX1 rks male and these below should hopefully increase the ratio a bit. Better chance of the trait coming through either side I'd think.
Blue Ripper P3 is crazy strong, like the male. It continues to stink like that through flowering, maybe stronger now. When I get near that plant like leaning over it to water, I get a blast of it, like a skunk pissed in the corner. Only thing with this plant is it's not a producer at all, very sparse buds and long internodes after the stretch. Structure could be better but may use it to get the rks smell through to another batch.

Blue Ripper P5 is definitely a contender for BX2 with the BX1 rks male. It also has that stink when you get near it, a little lighter than P3 but no mistaking it. This one has it all, structure, stacks well, trains well (single FIM), smell, and now showing some early frost. Liking this one so far. This one has rks and the buds are strong lemon when you get close in.

There's 4 fems of the original 10 Columbian Ripper F1's that made it through to flower. Watching a couple of the phenos, #2 and #4, both looking and smelling very nice early on at 3 weeks. Completely different in structure and bud formation, but both will be producers in their own way. P2 is more 50/50 with sativa-like buds, where P4 structure leans more towards the sativa side in structure. Both were FIM'd once, P4 generated about 8 colas from that FIM. P2 has a few side branches which are filling in nicely, plus as main that is going to produce a couple of zips on its own. Both have a skunky, sweet, fruity smell right now, just starting to come through. P2 seems to be winning on frost at this stage. Both will likely finish within 8 weeks if they continue to mature at this pace.
Columbian Ripper P2, going to be the heaviest I think. Less colas than P4 but they'll be huge and dense from the looks of it. Definitely a contender for F2's, branch is hit (on all of these) for some initial testers.

Columbian Ripper P4, very nice structure, like an octopus. Smaller buds. but lots of them and several colas to bring some weight in. Not as frosty yet but it's early.

Hey cheers JD
Excited about the Blue Ripper, couple of options there for a BX2 cross which should stabilize those well. Not a bad initial showing for the Columbian Ripper's too, looks like a couple of contenders for F2's and dank, quite different smells than anything I'm running

Day 92 from germ brxbp, rooted clone brbx1, 22 days after start of 7 day transition (I call it day 15 but others will say day 22)
BRxBP
BRBX1 wife says it smells like a cleaner, she hates the smell of weed but told me to keep this one. Could be qleaner coming through from br side?
Good thing I took a pic cause I didn't see the tip burn until just now.

Nice, thanks for the update. Not seeing much tip burn, I've seen some tip fires, that's nothing
Funny that BRxBP looks very similar to the BP bud structure, seeing that in the tester I'm running now. It's about 2 weeks in and definitely leaning towards the BP side for structure and buds, also maintained the tangerine smell from the BP mother on the stem rub. Just de-seeded a bunch more of these, as mentioned, didn't like what I saw with the initial cross (from a hardiness and initial bunch of seeds viability perspective) so hit it with the new BR BX1 male. Will be running some of those next, this cross could end up being fire with the right mix of genes.
Seems pretty common for the JTR background genetics to come through. Most of the phenos I have flowering have some level of lemon/pinesol from the JTR side coming through when the buds get going, the mother that started the BR line was JTR's lemon-pinesol pheno. The lemon cleaner smell comes through heavy in flowering but takes a back seat after cure to more funky/hashy smells. Shhh, just don't tell her that it cures to lemon-hash-rancid-weed smells once it's cured

Cool, party cup contestant? Didn't realize you'd dropped some of those. There's always something in a pack, the one female and male I have running turned out quite nice. Only thing I didn't like was that out of 10 seeds, only 4 made it out of the party cups for various reasons, mainly though they were just too mutated and not very hardy, several damped off right off the bat.

Lol, very nice and your work is some of the best out there including any minor tip burn. Getting very excited to see what a couple of my BX1 phenos in the room look like at 7 weeks, amazing they've survived this round at all. Had another insanely busy week, back & forth to the US for contract work, barely got to water them until I finally got home late Saturday, GF is stepping up her game, will have to credit her for this roundBlue Ripper BX1 at 7 week
