Just starting a thread for everyone growing jack the ripper. Here we can discuss what we know about jack the ripper. I have two jack the rippers. I grow on in soil and the other in coco coir. To read more about this go to this thread.

Coco coir vs soil with jack the ripper

Ive been smoking some jack herer and i have to say this weed is awesome. I'm anxious to try my jtr. Below are a few pictures of jack the ripper. Plants are a little under two weeks of 12/12 light.

...a quote from subcools blog.

Jack the Ripper has been described as the best eight-week Haze ever produced.

The plant requires a long vegetative period. It pretty much stops active calyx growth early and begins producing resin instead. (Resin production is evident from Day 12 in the 12/12 light cycle, but really starts fattening up the heads around Day 50 or so.) The leaves curl in on themselves due to the copious amounts of resin.

The triangle-shaped spear buds have a woody taste, almost like cedar and pine, and a pronounced lemon-mango smell. The high - a creeper at first - is ultimately strong and thought provoking.

Sativa/Indica Ratio – 70/30 Genetics - Pluton x Purple Haze x Lambsbread x NL x Jack Herer x Romulan x Cindy99

=hey turkish thanks for stopping by. this is the first time i have grown jack the ripper so i dont know much about her other than what ive seen up to 2 weeks flower. she is definately a stretcher. plan on having plenty of room or flower early. i use ff line of products and she seems to like it. you can use a little more than as directed, she is pretty hardy. pots are 7 gallon...i think they are kind of overkill but hey

Jack the Ripper is well named because it is absolutely killer weed. A true 8 week Sativa Haze the first thing growers notice is the incredible lemon smell and heavy resin production. It has been described by UK growers as the best 8 week haze ever produced.
This plant will produce triangle shaped spear 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.
I find it performs best unstopped with a long vegetative period. The high is very creeper at first you may think that its not so 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.
1. Phenotypes - Two main phenotypes both with a Lemon Haze smell and short growth one tends to be more a pine smell.
2. Height-Look for the Short Pheno/ Colas swell late
3. Yield-Medium-Heavy / Moderate trim work
4. Indoor/ Outdoor
5. Best way to grow- Untopped and vegged to a full bush.
6. Harvest Window_8-9 weeks
7. Hybrid-Pluton X Purple Haze X Lambsbread X NL X Jack Herer X Romulan X Cindy99BCGA
8. High type-Intense, trippy, visual, phase shifting, increased heart rate, heavy crash increased appetite, pain relief, paranoia
9. Taste Like: Lemon mango pine hash with a heavy haze influence



thanks for the +rep mang. ive heard really good things about this strain. i post new pics of my grow everyweek. keep stoppin by!

plants are staying relatively the same size. soil plant seems to have more main branches and is filled a little more. soil plant started out a little bigger to begin with....check out page one.
 
Hello, how did this turn out? im currently growin JTR in soil using 400 watt MH and 600watt HPS. 3 weeks in from a clone and my plants only 14 inches tall and like 12 inches wide.

turned out great. not as good as buba kush and didnt yield as great as super silver haze. was fastest to cure and has a great head rush up high.





 
Nice pics, Hrm so did u do 4 weeks/4weeks? How much did two plants yield? did you top the plants at all? ALSO, did it smell like crazy when it was flowering?
