After much effort Ripper seeds can introduce one of the most appreciated varieties by genetic collectors.
They have worked to get one of the few lines of Sour Diesel feminized version preserving the main qualities of a good Sour D: flavor and potency.
Sour Ripper has a sativa structure with a wide distance between branches, little foliage and a more compact and desirable bud than the Original Sour Diesel we work.
It's flowering period is 65-70 days.
The most "undergrown" taste of the United States available for your collection.
Vegetative: 1 to 2 weeks
Genotype: 60% Sativa / 40% Índica
Indoor flowering: 65/70 days.
Outdoor flowering: Mid October
Yield: Medium / High
Effect: Powerful.

2018-02-20 Week 8 Day 1
Today was FIM- & LST-Day, and I am amazed how quick the branches recover and stiffens after some proper LST, I am sure they be very supporting for the buds close to harvest.
I also upped the nutes with 1 extra ml/l water, adding up to 3 ml/l. She really looks great colorwise, and because of the massage I am certain that she is ok with it.
She got 1l water as usual (around 22:00), which is about 7 hours after the light turns on. FYI if somebody takes interest :)

2018-02-22 Week 8 Day 3 (thursday)
Decided to transplant the girls into bigger pots from 8.5l to 20l.
I was a bit curious about how much had happened during the last 2 weeks since I repotted them from 1.5l to 8.5l and I honestly can say very much. Added photos. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2018-02-24 Week 8 Day 5 (saturday)
Friday night was defoliation premiere for the ladies, and looking at the result tonight afterwards, they all look really nice and beautiful.
I gave them a rough night to remember, fimming, defoliation AND lst, they didn't seem to care that much, except for just looking great. :)
Tonight they just got some lst, that's it - oh yeah and a drink of water and nutes pH 5.9.
Lenght nr1: 35cm before LST
Lenght nr2: 33cm before LST
@Ripper, That sound great. If you document it here i will follow that grow.
Are you going to veg her big inside and then put here outside when summer starts?
You will probably love this. Let it get a bit amber. Sour D is one of my favorite sativas. It’s very relaxing while not making you sleepy and is decent for pain. Very uplifting, social.
@TheFairyBudMother, On paper it looks like a good strain and the medical benefits too. I always let them get amber to smoothen out the thc effect.
And by your description its a very good strain for me.
Thanks TFBM.
@biggreens420, I will have to try that next time, but i have limited veg space so i cant have that big pots. Only if the flower is done in one of the two flower rooms.
