Hello, and welcome. With the 30 days to play; take as much time as you need. Many take longer than 30 days, some less. Don’t look for perfection. Do it to where you feel comfortable that you understand it, and are playing it. It does not have to be perfect, or at speed to move on.
With the daily challenges, Tony designed the program to put in at least 10 minutes a day of practice on those. Just try to be consistent in playing every day. You can spend more time on them if you’d like ; but just do the best you can in that time, favorite some if you like to return to them; and move on. The lessons come around again. There are some that I couldn’t handle well the first time, that I was able to do decently the next time they showed up.
There are also Skill Courses. Do them at a pace that works for you.

With daily practice, you will find your skills coming together, as you go through the Daily Challenges and Skill Courses. Day by day your hand strength, accuracy, and speed improves; your technique will improve; and then you will be applying them to songs.
Have fun as you play guitar daily, according to where you are at. You will see improvement that will surprise you.

As far as your strumming; check to see if you are hitting another string as you strum. Maybe just work on pick control by hitting one string over and over, up and down stroke, adjusting and getting control of your movement. It is really hard to say without seeing you strum.
