Today closes day 63. I think the koolbloom is really helping her to finish early. She has been chugging along this past week and is gaining a lot of weight. A ton more orange hairs everyday. There is not a super strong smell unless you brush on a bud or stem. Very sweet grape smell.
Took the smallest larf nug as a tester. It tasted like pure sour gas.
Im hoping the artificial grape taste comes through in the cure, but either way I know I wont be disappointed with this smoke. One bowl got me sufficiently high. A nice uplifting / creative type of high.
I see hardly any empty trichomes left. Im going to give her a few more days to get a little bit more amber and then I will be cutting her down. Realistically, I could probably push her another week or two but I am slightly worried about the bigger colas molding. Also, I am out of bud and this is a much needed harvest.
I am running a perpetual Mephisto tent. My humidity and temp are middle of the road so I can keep everyone happy, which is another reason why I harvesting sooner rather than later.. I think I am looking at day 65 for a harvest. My Sour stomper is the same age as the Double Grape and I think she is going to need until day 84 to fully ripen.
@ElliotChance,
Increase the pH first and if needed you later follow it with some Epsom salt. No need for calmag it'll just unnecessarily increase the need for mag even more. "Law of tolerance"
@DoctorAutoflower, Hey man, thanks for the feedback, its really appreciated. Im still learning!
I agree that 5.6 ph is on the low end. Ill work on increasing the ph and cal mag.
@DEVS_GENETICS, yes sir. I am feeling very lucky to have gotten a purple / grape pheno on my first run. I can easily see myself keeping this strain in rotation. It has a pungent artificial grape smell. I am hoping the terps hang around through the cure.
It is my first time running grape genetics so I cannot compare to other grape type phenos. I have a Sour Stomper at the same age and I do not get any grape terps from it. I am hoping that changes as I get closer to harvest.
