Grape God Grow Journal

Thanks guys! at first it was a bastard. kinda like how you guys described growing blue dream. she doesnt like being force fed but once she starts she eats like a fat bitch and will bite your finger off if you under feed her hahaha

and its crazy because this was a free seed i got from the single seed centre. didnt really think too much of it but when my other seeds didnt germ. (all my nirvana but the free seeds germed ) i had to use this as my back up.

but yeah it was a pretty good grow. decent yeild with no type of training. .65 grams per watt so not too bad. and amazing smoke! top notch.

the strongest ive grown to date and its my pride and joy.

thanks for the comments and rep!

i definitely recommend this strain!

Off of this review (nice job by the way!) and a few others I found, I committed a room to the strain to try it. Here's a few pics, all from seed, day 21.

Day 25.....looks like they'll need AT LEAST another week of vegging, after figuring on no more that a 1 foot stretch in flowering. I found another great grow on this strain if you're interested: http://michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/index.php?showtopic=41555&st=0

Slow growers, as the pic's show.

Glad I could help you decide!!!

we got this seed for a personal batch and when our other seeds shit out in germ we decided to go with this onone they don't stretch very much maybe doubling size so def veg em longer

also it's crazy how from seed thy look so indicate and once you clone em they never get fat indica fan leves again

thought it was pretty weird.

she clones well. I'd make sure to number them all so when you take clones you can single out the best one to become a mother.
best of luck!

You're growing great white shark weren't you?

Didnt recognize you with the new avitar

Throw up a link to your journal too!!

i loved your setup last time around.

I did recently change my pic.......and they say pot dulls the memory. LOL

Yes, I grew a GWS/Lamsbreath (Sharksbreath) hybrid a few grows ago. An ok grow, but not great. I'm generally known as the Sweet Seeds "Green Poison" guy, documenting many successful grows of that strain.

Lastly, I usually grow from seed, rather then keep mother plants alive and then go thru the cloning process. It's just easier because of space issues.

I won't be doing a detailed grow report this time......just taking a break but I plan on putting a few pictures up each week for those interested. I'm also growing Mr. Nice's "Ortega", which has hermie tendencies and I'll be spending a lot of time "looking" for male bananas in my spare time. This is a great smoke, if I can find some true 100% females.

Thanks for piping in!

Yeah it does I remember it all now haha

well feel free to throw them up here I'd you want haha

28 days veg today......filling out nicely. Maybe another week at most before flowering.

lookin sexy!!!

They tend to grow very xmas tree like so beware they will get bushy so itll be annoying keeping them all where you want.

im bouta post pictures of the KK in a few minutes so check em out after.

I have a bit of room to spread out if necessary......and I'll manipulate them around to maximize positioning. Every strain reacts differently to my style of grow- I guess we'll see soon enough but bushy I can handle, height not so much.

Waiting for your pic's......

im not on the computer with them on it right now but asap

Just cutting the lights back.......

Lookin goood!

Youre gonna get a nice harvest. The first one i grew from seed got me 7 grams from a QP under just my 600 so youre in for a hell of a harvest as always.

What kind of nutes and shit do you run for it? Cant remember from your previous journals.

Yo.....thanks for popping in, as always. I run Botanicare mainly i.e. Pure Blend Pro, Cal/Mag, Sweet, Hydroplex and I use Age Old Grow for a Nitrogen boast when necessary. Then I am using Prozyme, Pro Silica, Snow Storm and Floralicious Plus as supplements. I think that covers it. I add Azamax and drench every 10 days or so too for bug control. pH always at 6.3-6.5. R.O. water only.

I don't flush, never seem to have to. Just use enough Prozyme and it will break down old fertilizer and stop any salt build up. I have been lowering my ppm for the Grape God. With Green Poison, I could run it up real high i.e. 1500-1600 ppm and they loved it. This strain, I haven't gone about 1000 ppm yet. Around the 4th or 5th week of flowering I'll go up to 1200 ppm and then slowly back down again........ remember, this strain is a cal/mag whore. I AWAYS add 10 ml in every gallon of water.......ALWAYS! This will help stop the "crinkling" and "tacoing" that so often happens with this strain, or so I read about.

I just read thru this.....funny, no one ever said growing was cheap. I'm thinking this run I've spent close to $400 for fertilizers, but some containers are quarts and some are gallons.

Do you need less fert with the prozyme?

Excellent question......I have often thought about it. It appears to me when I 1st start using prozyme, maybe a week before flowering- it does make available a bigger charge of ferts so it might be wise to cut back 100-200 ppm. After a week or two, I think it reduces the soil fert build up enough to resume back to my normal ppm. It's soooooo important to look at your plants everyday and let them tell you if they are happy. Any day to day changes should be noted, both to the positive and negative.

Each afternoon when I spend time in my rooms, I look for sun leaf angles to the lights, leaf tip burn, discoloration or dying (chlorosis) leaves, leaf folding or bends up or down, light or dark leaf coloring, etc......... the key to all problems is to catch them early. And then make the proper adjustments. Too many people wait until the problems are so bad that it takes weeks to correct the issues, instead of just days.

Hell yeah my grape god was a bitch when it came to nutes.

I gave it a strong dose when it was pretty big in veg and it turned the whole plant yellow!! Never was the ph or the soil. It was always the nutes. Its crazy. haha

I use grow micro and bloom from blue planet nutrients and there kbud, dark matter(humic/fulvic), and a soil activator.

And besides that i used snow storm ultra and botanicares cal/mag.

Ive wanted to switch to botanicares pure blend G,M,B and a few other additives but havent had the money to convert yet.

Im probably gonna get some more Blue planet nutes as my base since thats all im low on.

And those will hold me over for a while.

I have 1 or 2 plants that were showing a very slight cal/mag deficiency but they improved after I bumped up the cal/mag ml for a watering or two. Believe it or not, the lights didn't look right to me today and I went up into the ceiling and saw I was running one ballast at 1100 watts and one at 750 watts. LOL

Botanicare can be expensive, but I seem to get very consistent results with each and every grow. I used to try other brands regularly but I always come back to Botanicare.......if I was growing hydro, I would definitely be using GH but with pro-mix as my medium, I really like it.

I use Sunshine 4 and GH nutes and add calmag (only when I use R/O), Liquid Karma, and pro silicate.
Right now cabon filtered tap water and no calmag.
Plants are looking like something is wrong lately, and Ill have to go get a new ph meter just to make sure its not my ph.
I have a recipe for my ph down and pro silicate to get proper ph, but tap water ph might have changed?
