Hi growers!
In this diary we will track 🌱 Sour Ripper from Ripper Seeds. I really wanted to try this seed bank, I have 2 other strains waiting their turn.
Let's go with 🌱 Sour Ripper, I leave you some information about this variety:
Main qualities, flavor and potency.
Sour Ripper has a sativa structure with long internodes, little foliage and a more compact and palatable bud than the original Sour Diesel.
🎎 Genotype: 60% Sativa / 40% Indica
⏳ Indoor flowering: 65/70 days
⏳ Outdoor flowering: Mid-October
💚 Yield: Medium / High
😶Effect: Powerful
Well, seed germinated in H2O at PH 6.5 and placed in the pot for seedlings. Placed in the dark and with its heat mat. It remains to wait for the seedling to appear.
This girl will grow outdoors, but due to the somewhat unstable weather she will spend at least the first week under 🌞 TS1000. Then it will go outside until 📆 harvest day.
My super soil mix is cooking, using Plagron's RoyalMix as a base, so it will be ready just in time to transplant the seedlings.
See you soon...👍🏽🌱

Hi growers!
📆 End Week 1 Seedlings, Day 7
🌱 Sour Ripper, this baby is the tallest of all for now, its growth has been constant and it develops quite fast for now, already generating a good part of the second pair of leaves. I'm adding a couple of drops of root stimulator to the H2O. I water 10ml every time I see the soil dry enough (I like this particular one from Top Crop for seedlings 👌🏽).The soil is kept at a good temperature and I also added another boost for the roots, mycorrhizae. I'm giving it a mix of natural light and that provided by my little beast!, the 🌞 TS-1000.
💦 Watering 10ml H2O + root stimulator when soil is dry enough 🌡️ Temp. 20ºC PH 6.6
🔝 Height 5cm
Well, we'll see next week 👍🏽🌱

Hi growers!
📆 End Week 2 Seedlings, Day 14
🌱 Sour Ripper , good development, no incidents so far. The structure of this little one is good, it supports its height and weight of the little foliage well, very well.
Let's continue on the right path... 👍🏽🌱

I water 5ml every time I see the soil dry enough.

Hi growers!
📆 End Week 4, Veg Stage, Day 28
🌱 Sour Ripper , this girl was transplanted a few days ago and is still in the adaptation phase. The soil used is Plagron Royal Mix but I added a few more things and let it cook, 28 days passed so it's ready. I added mycorrhizae to the hole and watered with a little root stimulator and a "vitalizer" with micronutrients.
This week should stabilize and focus on further growth.
I'm still giving it a mix of natural light and that provided by my little beast!, the 🌞 TS-1000.
📆 28th March
Feeding 15ml 🌡️ Temp. 21.1ºC PH 6.5
📆 30th March
Transplanted
Feeding 50ml 🌡️ Temp. 18ºC PH 6.5
Well, we'll see next week 👍🏽🌱

Hi growers!
📆 End Week 5, Veg Stage, Day 35
🌱 Sour Ripper, this girl also changed a bit due to the training I started on her, like 🌱 Sour Tsunami CBD, LST, Apical cut and defoliation of the leaves that would hinder the new shoots, which are developing well, the hormones are being distributed well and I see that it is a vigorous strain, let's see how it does during this week.
These girls also received a watering with Compost Tea to ward to microbes.

Well, we'll see next week 👍🏽🌱

Hi growers!
📆 End Week 6, Veg Stage, Day 42
🌱 Sour Ripper, this girl is splendid, she looks healthy and strong. The new shoots continue to develop well and gain height. I hope to also get a nice bush from this girl. I will do more LST training for her other branches as soon as possible.
She is enchanted in the sun...👌🏽
For now watering mostly with H2O + root stimulator 2 times a week at PH 6.5 - 6.8, the rest of the waterings are H2O at PH 6.5 - 6.8. When I water with simple H2O, I do it from below, to stimulate the roots in their search for H2O, at the same time avoiding the annoying Fungus Gnats for now.
The soil was enriched with Diatoms as a preventive in case some insect eggs/larvae arrived and in turn to enrich the soil.
At dawn and dusk it is sprayed with Urtimax for foliar intake, it is to provide micronutrients but above all as an enhancer of the plant's immune system, the outdoor is more delicate....
Well, we'll see next week 👍🏽🌱

Hi growers!
📆 End Week 7, Veg Stage, Day 49
🌱 Sour Ripper, this girl is constantly growing, her general development is very good, taking into account that a few days ago I Topped 6 shoots, so there will be 12 new shoots in substitution.
Her appearance today is not the best, she received a few hours of rain until I was able to get home and shelter her at home. We will see what effect the water from these rains has. I normally water my plants with spring water.
I added to all the girls some biological allies to repel / eliminate pests or possible pests, the most common of these beauties. I've never tried this system, I'm quite curious about its effectiveness.

📆 End Week 8, Veg Stage, Day 56
🌱 Sour Ripper, well, this girl is quite strong. There were several untimely days, cold, wind and rain. Something affected is obviously, but she keeps going. It is the only one that has already shown its first pistils... During this week I have not needed to apply watering at all, mother earth did it for me, I think it is a good combination for now, cooked soil and rainwater (it depends on what impurities this drags Water ).
I transplanted it due to the amount of roots sticking out of the bottom of the pot, so a new and final 10L fabric pot, filled with more of my cooked soil (Plagron Royal Mix base) and added mycorrhizae.
We start with LST technique.
Since yesterday there is sun, but I don't know how long it will last, a few more days of rain are expected.
Well, we'll see next week 👍🏽🌱

Hi growers!
📆 End Week 9, Veg Stage, Day 63
🌱 Sour Ripper, this girl is doing quite well, her green color is very pretty, I just hope she doesn't become HERMI, because of the structure she's taking....she reminds me of my unfortunate 🌱 Gorilla Banana. We'll see... fingers crossed.
This week she received a watering with Compost Tea (1L), which will give her a boost for these expected sunny days.
Well, we'll see next week 👍🏽🌱
