Grape Ape fast flip grow

@Lynyrdsky Pretty soon, huh? I see many of the water leaves drying out and the bud structure is marvelous. Wouldn’t it be nice if the laws allowed us to trade a bud? I think that would be fun, put a whole new meaning to the term buddies.

@Lynyrdsky So it has been a couple of months now, I am interested in a smoke review. How did the dry and cure turn out? How is the terp profile?

Sorry for the delayed reply. The smoke turned out great. Ended with 96 grams and will be looking to start a new grow in a couple of weeks. The bud is still very sticky yet and gives a good high. Creeps into a couch lock over time but a burst of creative energy intially. The munchies are stong with this strain. Lots of snacks are needed. Hope to see you soon with my new grow.

Looks like you’ll have enough to get you by for a while. I look forward to some more tasty pics.

Been a long time but still growing. Another batch of Grape Ape. 62 days old light flip 14 days ago. Lot of stretch on these 2. Happy frog and water so far nothing else.

These 2 have grown wild the last couple weeks. Lot of stretch and hard to keep lst up. Only change is 2 weeks more veg time which would explain the height. Have not given any nutes at all. Looking at late Sept harvest if they finish the same.

I am expecting a harvest in early to mid October. One plant seems more sativa. I think that one may take another week or two. It is the Gelato in first tent.

3 weeks since light flip and the girls got a dose of Tiger Bloom last night. I kept these 2 in veg 19 days longer than my fast flip and it made a differance in height. they grew so fast i could hardly keep up with the LST. I untied most today as the stretch should be over for the most part. looking to be promising harvest ahead.

It has now been 28 days since light flip. During the week I added to cottage cheese containers of happy frog to each. Will give some more tiger bloom tonight. The one cola is getting light burn but I am not worried or raising the light. Too many lower buds needing it more. This should be a good yield as they are very happy looking at this stage.

To compare post 89 above is the equivalent in time. These may be a few days behind.

Both plants measure 30" tall and have filled their space.

I took one plant out so they could trade places. Very nice big plants. Hung electic up so it was out of the way. Plants are now over 31" tall and need to look at raising the light and have to place hooks to do so. Will look at giving them a hair cut also.

Did some work last night. Had a second light which I had not used since I started closet grows. These 2 needed more light as they have out did my expectations. I now have 400+ watts of light. Also raised them to prevent light burn on the main colas. Both are drinking 1.5 to 2 qts of water daily now.

I,for one, appreciate the pics. I am going to go back and read this thread from the beginning of the grow. The many pics will make the reading go faster, or will it.? Depends on how much time I spend admiring the photography. LOL

Seems like they change overnight now. This is the best grow I have had yet for 2 plants. Most colas are 4 to 6 inches the one main is 12 inches of bud. Still giving them a half gallon a day on average. Now fof the pics.
