Grape Ape

P0C023 Let’s begin this "Primata Uva"… 😜 I’m a newbie here on Grow Diaries — and outside of this bubble as well. One year into this journey, I finally feel a bit more comfortable sharing my flaws and following this incredible path. Being a newbie doesn’t mean being reckless, though. Every step of the initial process involves cleaning and sterilizing every single inch of the tent and all the equipment. Disclaimer: Be careful when using certain products like bleach or other strong chemicals. Always wear a mask, gloves, safety glasses, etc. Take care of yourself during this process and make sure there is plenty of fresh air circulating. Stay safe! 🏾 🌱 Genetics Breeder: Royal Queen Seeds Grape Ape: Afghani x Mendocino Purps x Skunk #1 Some strains put a spring in your step and help you start the day on the right foot; others will lull you into relaxation once the chaos of daily life comes to a close. Grape Ape falls firmly into the latter. It only takes a couple of hits to feel your worries evaporate and for sensations of tranquillity and stillness to take hold. Tastes of fruit and skunk are a big bonus! https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/feminized-cannabis-seeds/659-grape-ape.html Disclaimer: I'm very found of this cultivar. it taste amazing and the vibe is pretty enjoyable. To reed smoking a 'J' of it it's just bless/blast (choose your preference) 🌱 Germination Process I usually prefer placing the seed directly into the growing medium to avoid pathogens — no direct handling of the seed. So: mask on, gloves on, and full attention. Once the medium is in the pot, I water with about 50–80 ml of pure water, adjusted to pH 6.3, with the lowest EC possible. The hardest and most challenging part for me: waiting — around 7 days. 😜😝 From day one, the pots were placed on a heating mat, maintaining an average temperature of 22°C. I can’t wait to see it growing, growing, growing! Grow with passion, and it will thrive. 🌱✨
