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.

I have changed the lights from LED to 600W HPS in growroom 2 and put in two more 400 W HPS in growroom 1, because of this maneuver I could move my lightmover to growroom 2 - and the result of changing to HPS is almost mindblowing. The LED's will be used in my vegroom instead, giving the small ones a much better start in life instead of the T5's I've been using until now, which hopefully will shorten down the amount of time they need before moving them in to the growrooms.
The girls in growroom 2 has grown a lot, and since I'm gonna put the girls into flowering soon, I flushed them with 15 liters of pH-optimal water 2018-03-03 and LST'd them at the same time. I don't tie the branches down because I want the branches to get as strong as possible so they wont get to weak and break when the buds grow big.
I will let them suck up as much as water as possible from the soil before flowering, so the plan right now is to let them be as they are until tomorrow (thursday), so tomorrow I'll give them water and nutes again and change to 12/12h light.
The girls looks very healthy and nice, and the colors look great so at the moment I feel I don't have to worry about anything, I'll just keep giving them love and care and everything will be perfect.
Girl nr1 is 37cm
Girl nr2 is 38cm

Changed lightcycle to 12/12h, time for flowering.
The girls look awesome.

Nothing much to say since it's so early in pre-flower, except that the growth really accelerated when changing from LED's to 600W HPS.
I increased water/nutes from 1,5l to 2l/every 2 days.
@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.
