Hey guys. This is my first growth and I chose this beautiful feminized sativa strain. Week 1 looks good to me. I also would like to hear your opinions, guys. My light is full spectrum 3500k + 660nm red light + 460nm blue light. The actual power is 55W. I think it is enough for the vegetative stage, but I'm not sure about the rest. Since it was budget-friendly, I chose this one. Also, in this growing process, I would like to be an example of budget-friendly growing. Looking forward to seeing your comments, guys. Happy growing, everyone!

Hey everyone, I have a sour ripper plant in my 40x40 cm grow tent, and I've shared my light setup above. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried about it, honestly. This is my first grow, and I've made some mistakes along the way. Should I perform more low-stress training (LST) to the opposite side of where I trimmed the main stem? I've also removed four big leaves from the bottom that were covering a significant amount of light to the lower branches, and I've just performed four toppings. I need your opinions , happy growing all!

Hello everyone. I have not been updating my diary, what a shame. I was busy and had no time for that, but from now on, I will share the progress weekly. My sour ripper plant looks good to me. I also need your opinions, please feel free to comment. It has been three weeks since I flipped her, and it is day 21 of the flowering stage. As some valuable guys here told me, she has been growing like crazy since I flipped her. She is almost a meter now. She has more than doubled her size, and I am very satisfied with the amount of flowers. I am planning to give a flower boost this week. Since it is my first grow, I need your opinions about it too. I have started this diary as an economical growing project. My grow light is pretty eco-friendly, as I shared before. Also, I do not have an air filter or a carbon filter. Undoubtedly, the existence of these items has progressively positive effects on the plant, but I want to be an example for those who want to start growing and do not have enough budget to purchase everything. Looking forward to your comments, guys. Happy growing everyone!

Week ten. I started giving booster one week ago, so her flowers are getting better every day. What do you guys think? How does she look? Shall I do more defoliation? But my tent is pretty small too. Consider that while responding, please.

I would flip her,otherwise she is going to out grow your tent,always keep in mind that they stretch a lot in flower,a rule of thumb to predict the height is indica can go x2 in height,sativas can go x3 in height when flower starts But your plant looks healthy and don’t over think it when you made a mistake,it’s weed,it’s one of the most sturdy plants and they can recover from even a very bad state Happy growing ✌️🌱🎉

@rickytpb, no problem bud,I just took a look at the video you posted ,you have a lot of very small new branches in the lower part of your plant,you could remove those because they don’t get enough light to give great buds,if you remove these your plant will have more energy to grow big buds on top,this is what they call lollipopping

I like where you are going with this on the budget side of things. Your plant looks very even at the top and healthy. Nice work! Something I wonder about though is if the fan leaves on the bottom are helping or hurting flower growth since they do not get very much light(are they consuming more plant energy than they are producing?). I've heard leave them be and get rid of them, not sure what is the correct answer.

@DickJones, first of all, thank you so much for your compliment. I am doing my best, and this is my first cannabis growth. You are probably right about it. This week, I am planning to do defoliation. Defoliation involves briefly removing the medium-sized fan leaves to help the plant focus on the buds. I have seen some growers who have done defoliation during the mid-flowering period. Since I don't have much experience, I am following their lead to achieve the best results. Next week, those leaves will be gone, and let's see how it goes. :)
