Tropicana Grape Cake is one of Fidel’s eight exceptional cultivars that crosses Harry Palms cut of the Tropicana Cookies aka the MTN Cut (Fidel received this illusive cut through his relationship with Bobby Trill of Trilogy 710) with a selected male from the Jungle Boys seeds that crossed the Grape Topanga (Topanga Canyon OG x Grape Pie) with their Zkittlez Cake (Zkittlez x Wedding).
This resulted in a number of phenotypes that express the same bag appeal and deep purple complexion as the Original Tropicana Cookies, but with a significant increase of gas.

Germination
(Only germinating half the pack as they only come in packs of 12)
Thursday 7th March 2024 - The seeds are first dropped in a plastic cup filled half way with room temperature water (22c) & left in a warm / dark cupboard for 24 hours.
Friday 8th March 2024 - After 24 hours the seeds are carefully removed from the water and placed in an air tight container between layers of moist tissue paper (hand held sprayer), sealed, and placed back in the warm / dark cupboard for a further 24 hours.
Saturday 9th March 2024 - Before opening the container prepare the jiffy plugs by laying them in the base of a propagator and slowly adding a solution made of 1 drop / 1l Ecothrive neutralise, 0.5ml / 1l voodoo juice & 1 drop / 1l vitalink ph down. Once each jiffy plug is fully expanded, squeeze of excess & place to one side in a different propagtor base (the one that will be placed in the tent).
Once all jiffy plugs have expanded, add 50ml of solution to the bottom of the base to maintain moisture, cover with the lid & place the propagator inside the tent (with the vent completely shut).
Next fill the Ram 5L humidifier and connect the 1500w oil radiator to the wireless thermostat to maintain the optimum temperature & humidity level for the germination stage (circulation fan is also on to prevent hot spots). Close the tent & leave for 30 mins to check temp and humidity levels using the AirComfort wireless hygrometer.
The maxibright controller has been set to dim at 24c.
- Light Cycle : 24 Hrs
- Temperature : 24c - 26c (inside propagator)
- Humidity : 75% - 80%
Once the environment is optimal for germination, carefully check the seeds by removing the top layer of tissue paper. If kept in the right conditions the seeds should have cracked & be showing a white tap root (after 24 hours 6 out of 6 seeds cracked and are ready to be planted).
Remove the propagator lid and carefully insert the seeds into the pre made holes in the jiffy plugs with the tap root facing down & the seed just about visible from the top of the plug. Cover with lid (again making sure vent is completely closed), close tent & leave for 48 hours.
