A Good Guide to Buying Marijuana Seeds
Snow Ripper Marijuana Seeds, sometimes called just Ripper, is an extremely potent, long-lasting and potent marijuana strain. This is a large, up to almost 180 cm long, robust plant that produces up to 450 grams of concentrated marijuana each year after trimming. The flowers are quite large and have a deep blue coloration, making the flower buds resemble snowflakes. These flowers are highly desirable as well.
When trimming the plant back to a reasonable length the stems will reach up to six to ten feet high with a cluster of up to three to five bud clusters on each stem. Most of these flower buds are single, however, if one bud begins to droop then it will grow into a second bud, forming a cluster. There are currently seven subspecies of this particular strain, all producing very potent and effective marijuana crops. They are Snow White, Shag, Lemon Grass, Buddha, Diesel, Snow Ripper and White Cloud.
Snow White is the original strain, which began in California. It has had many adjustments and taken on many names, most notably Diesel, White Knight and Los Angeles. This is the most popular strain currently, with over fifty percent of marijuana seeds sold being Snow White. Shag is another huge seller with nearly thirty percent of all the crops being this particular variety. Other variations are Hawaiian, French and Indonesian.
The Snow Ripper plants grow slowly and take years to reach full height. This is because they are considered climbers, climbing walls of leaves and producing numerous new buds after each cut. They can be found growing in many different environments, including concrete, bricks, dirt, sand, rocks and shelves.
They have developed a reputation as one of the most difficult strains to keep alive in marijuana flower gardens. Snow White and the other hybrids seem to have problems with frost. There seems to be a delicate balance between too much water and dryness and this is where many of the growers’ frustrations occur. Sometimes it takes days to get the plants just right before flowering, resulting in small, dark green buds that fade to a white color at maturity.
Because of their reputation, these strains produce a large crop with little room for error. Snow White, Diesel, White Knight and Los Angeles are the three most popular marijuana varieties and the most successful. All three produce flowers that are highly prolific, with the White Knight leading the pack in production. There are many other common strains, but they do not dominate the market like the ones mentioned here. Most marijuana seeds offered are from one of the well known Denver, CO growers.
Many different things influence the prices of marijuana. As with any other plant, new, healthier plants command a higher price than older plants. Although, it is still a good idea to purchase old plants when available. Prices will always be affected by supply and demand and new, rare plants will always command a higher price. Snow White, Diesel, White Knight, Los Angeles and other popular strains produce flowers that are highly prolific and easy to maintain.
If you are considering starting your own garden and would like to start with some of the easier, less demanding marijuana varieties, Snow White and other hardy plants may be a good place to start. If you are more concerned with producing large amounts of buds, then consider one of the other hardier varieties. Regardless, any type of marijuana seed can be used to grow your own marijuana plants from marijuana seeds. Just be sure to pick your plants carefully and remember that care must be taken to ensure a successful grow.
