Double Grape

First time growing Double Grape. Germination was smooth, 24h water cup followed by 12h paper towel. Popped out of the soil after 3 days. That is when I start counting the days. Watered about 1/2L when dry. Light at 30” and 20% intensity.

Just watered about 1/2L when dry. Light at 30% intensity.

Doing well. No LST yet. She just bent a little bit while I was watering her. I’ll probably be able to do some LST on her around mid next week. SF4000 at 30“ @ 60% intensity. Watered about 1L when dry.

Water 2 times this week, 2L each time. The second watering was a worm casting tea. (Worm casting, Kelp meal, Alfalfa meal, molasses and Miicrobial Mass) all sat in a 5 Gallon for about 30 hours and I used a aquarium bubbler to aerate the mixture. Top at day 22 plus some LST maintained all week. I topped this one but she was already short so if that the end she stay short I know it's not caused 100% on the topping. Temperature was getting too hot in the tent so I turned on my air intake. RH is now around 45%. Light intensity got raise at 80%. Still at 30" from plants. Top dressed mid-week with 4 Tbsp of 2-8-4 and 1 Tbsp of 4-4-4 in a 5 Gallon fabric pots, so 1 Tbsp per Gallon. Also add 1/5 worm casting from the tea on top with the nutes.

Water 2 times - Average PH6.5 - 2L each time Same temperature and RH than last week 21/23C and 45% I moved the light from 30" to 26" and raised the intensity to 100% (SF-4000) I installed a net mid-weed. Hole size 3.5" On the last day of the week, I did a huge defoliation and removed all lower buds sites and that was not much on her. Still very small compared to the others in the tent. Her color is a darker green and rough feeling. Maybe she doesn't take as well the nutrients but it's all natural so IDK.

Water 3 times 2L, PH'd at 6.4/7.5/6.6. Gave her a Worm Casting Tea mid-week (Worm casting, Alfalfa Meal, Kelp Meal, Miicrobial Mass, Molasses) I did a little bit of LST and some defoliation. She is healthy and very strong but this one stayed shorth. I keep my light at 26'' from the top of the canopy so because she is shorth she is probably at 30" from the light at 100% intensity.

Good week, first time my plants are not turning yellow at flower stage so that is good. Water 3 times 2L at around 6.5ph. Top dressed at the beginning of the week with 1Tbps/G of 2-8-4 (Gaia Green Power Bloom) also add 1Tsp of Cal-Mag/G of water just precautionary during one watering. She is smaller and darker than the other ones. I don't know what that mean but she look solid. Light is still maintained at 26" at Max intensity.

Watered 3 times, 2L/1L/1L at around 6.5 Ph. Still very tiny but I spread her a bit at the end of the week. It was getting crowded at the main top. I defoliated a lot in the middle of the plant after the LST. Look very healthy with no sign of deficiencies. She also feel very solid on her branches and stems.

Watered 2 times, 2L/1L at PH 7+/6.6 Her first watering was a Worm Casting Tea that I don't PH brewed for 26h (same recipe than last time) Second watering I had 2 Tsps of Cal-Mag in a 5 Gallon just preventive. I did some defoliation and I removed the net from my grow (the net was useless for the Double Grape) Temperature raising sometime up to 27-28C. I will be adding some AC next week. Buds are maturing nicely.

Watered 3 times 2L at 6.4/6.6 Raised the light to cover more area. Light at 100% at around 36"/40". Topped dress mid-week with Gaia Green Power bloom 2-8-4 at 1 Tbsp./G medium. Installed an A/C unit to cold down the tent at around 19C during light time. I had to keep my tent open because for some reason the humidity was going very high with the A/C inside the tent. The tent was going up to 28C and I wanted something way cooler since the plants are at their ripening time. Trichomes are mostly clear with some milky and no amber. I started a worm casting tea for next week on the last day of this week. It will be her last feed. I am still not sure if I have to flush or not, since it is organic, but I had some harsh weed last time and I suspect it's caused by my nutrients, flushing or curing technics.

Watered once 2L before the big flush of 15L at 6.3. No Amber trichomes yet but all milky/cloudy. The buds are looking mature and dense. She will go an other week.

Watered 2 time 3L/2L at 6.5 - Trichomes: I could not find many Amber trichomes on her. I would say 1% but 99% milky. - Pistils: All pistils are brown and curly. - Buds: Perfect looking buds, mature and dense. My plan is to harvest by the end of next week so I think she already got her last water. She doesn't drink that much anymore. (Never really did)

Pretty good week. She was basically on auto-pilot for the past few weeks. Harvested at the end of week 13 (day 90). I didn't have to water at all this week. She was drinking way less the past 2 weeks. She received 48h darkness. I did that to half of my plants to see if it's actually make any difference at the end. She is very short but has dense buds covered with milky trichomes and a few ambers. All her orange hair are curled up. The plant is now hanging in my tent at around 50% RH and between 18-20C. Next week I will update with the harvest/drying.

Very disappointed with the outcome. At first the buds were rock solid and super nice but almost no smell to it. The plant was minuscule but with solid structure and buds. I dry trimmed and after drying for only a few days I jarred and I’m almost certain that I ruin the cure. The plant always been a darker green so I suspect a Nitrogen toxicity. The other plants in the tent were fine and received the same diet. - Total weight 38g. I have more seeds of this strain but next time, if the plant doesn’t perform, I will have to kill it. I am limited in plants and I can’t waste my time and money on a plant that will end up giving less than two oz. She never has a strong smell but now in the jar the buds smell weak. The notes that I get is burned wood and tea. The buds when grind looked like flakes. Here again the smell is weak and smell like tea The taste is very dry and taste like smoke with a far taste of red fruits. Like I said at the beginning I am disappointed with the result but I have heard good thing about Double Grape and I will surely try her again in the hope to get something better. Cheers
