How to grow Ripley's OG Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Named, appropriately, for the woman who battled Aliens — and bred from Alien OG, so the reference is not accidental. Sweet and berry-bright on the nose, the high runs focused and uplifting, better suited to daytime than the sofa. An autoflower that needs no light-cycle fuss, and stays discreetly short outdoors on her ruderalis side.
Where it comes from
Named for the woman who saw off the Aliens, and bred from Alien OG — so the reference is deliberate rather than a happy accident. Mephisto Genetics crossed that Alien OG with an unnamed ruderalis to produce an autoflower, the ruderalis supplying the self-timing habit and a little discretion in the field. A single well-chosen photoperiod parent turned auto, in the Mephisto manner: potent stock, made to flower on its own clock. The lineage is short but pointed.
Nose & flavour
The record gives a clear note: a highly sweet, berry-like taste that lights up the palate. That is a bright, fruit-forward profile — sweet berry to the fore, with nothing heavy or earthy crowding it out. A cheerful, appetising nose, and I will keep to that single well-attested note rather than reach for others the paperwork does not supply.
The high
The effect is an energising one, better suited to daylight than the sofa: focused, happy and uplifting, the sort that keeps you moving rather than pins you down. A daytime bud, in the record's own framing, at a considerable 23.1% THC — so lively, but with real substance behind the lift. Clear-headed and forward, good company for a working morning.
Growing it
An autoflower of medium build, 90 to 110cm, flowering over a longer 70 to 80 days from seed — patient, for an auto. The yield is given per plant, at 120 to 300g, with the spread depending heavily on how well she is fed and lit. She needs no light-cycle management, does well indoors, and on her ruderalis side stays shorter and quicker outdoors, which suits a grower after discretion. At 23.1% THC she rewards the longer wait with genuine potency.
