Grape Ape - Farm #23

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary, A brand-new round of diaries begins, and I honestly couldn’t be more excited about this 23rd grow. This run brings a lot of fresh upgrades and new experiences to My Little Farm — from improved ventilation and a completely new nutrient line, to some beautiful new genetics joining the collection from Royal Queen Seeds. The newest residents of the farm are: - Grape Ape Auto - Pink Runtz Auto - Wedding Cake Auto This diary will follow the journey of Grape Ape Auto from seed to harvest. 🍇 🍇 About Grape Ape Auto Grape Ape Auto combines the legendary characteristics of the original photoperiod Grape Ape with the heavy-hitting qualities and rich terpene profile of OG Kush Auto. The result is a fast-growing cultivar packed with flavour, potency, and deeply relaxing effects. This strain leans heavily toward indica genetics (85%), delivering dense flowers, exceptional resin production, and an unforgettable aroma profile. With THC levels reaching around 19%, alongside dominant terpenes such as myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene, Grape Ape Auto produces a powerful body-focused high while still keeping the mind clear and functional. The smoke offers delicious notes of blueberries, sweet grapes, and subtle herbal undertones — making every session smooth, flavourful, and incredibly enjoyable. 🌬️ Ventilation Upgrade on My Little Farm For this grow I decided it was finally time to upgrade the ventilation system, and I’m extremely happy with the improvements so far. New Equipment: - Rhino Ultra Non-Silenced 125 - Rhino Pro 125 The Rhino Ultra fan surprised me immediately. Despite its compact size, it delivers excellent airflow while remaining impressively quiet — even though this isn’t the silenced version. I also upgraded to the improved Rhino Pro carbon filter, which should significantly improve air quality and environmental stability inside the tent throughout the entire cycle. Another beautiful addition to the setup is the new RQS Thermometer — sleek, wireless, and equipped with integrated rear sensors that make monitoring temperature and humidity much cleaner and more practical inside the grow space. ⚙️ My Little Farm Setup - Grow Tent: Secret Jardin DS120W - Lighting: MIGRO Array 4 - Ventilation: Rhino Ultra Non-Silenced 125 - Carbon Filter: Rhino Pro 125 - Soil: BioBizz Light-Mix - Pots: 11L fabric pots - Genetics: Royal Queen Seeds - Nutrients: BioTabs Organic Line 🌱 Trying a New Nutrient Line — BioTabs For a long time I used only RQS organic nutrients, so this run is something completely new for me. Huge thanks to the BioTabs team for sending me a full range of products to test on this grow. I’ve heard many great things about BioTabs, and I’m very excited to see how the plants respond. Products Used: Startrex Startrex is packed with beneficial soil bacteria that immediately activate and improve soil life, helping plants establish roots faster and absorb nutrients more efficiently. The key ingredients — fulvic acids, humus, and silicon — help transport nutrients directly into plant cells and create a healthy living soil environment from the very beginning. Silicium Flash Silicium Flash provides a fast-acting dose of silicon along with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The plants can absorb these nutrients immediately, promoting lush green growth and strong early development, while the remaining nutrients are slowly released over the following weeks. Mycotrex Mycotrex contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with the roots. These fungi dramatically expand the effective root zone, improving water and nutrient uptake and helping plants develop stronger and healthier root systems. BioTabs Tablets BioTabs tablets contain slow-release organic fertilizers combined with beneficial soil bacteria and humic acids. This creates stable and healthy growth while improving nutrient availability throughout the entire grow cycle. 🌱 Planting Day In the photos I tried to show the full planting process and all the products used during preparation. I started with a 50L bag of BioBizz Light-Mix and prepared the RQS fabric pots. - First, I filled roughly one-third of each pot with soil. - Then I added 50g of Startrex and 50g of Silicium Flash. - After adding more soil, I mixed everything thoroughly. - Two BioTabs tablets were placed deep into the soil. - The pots were then filled completely with soil. - Finally, I added 2g of Mycotrex directly into the planting area where the seeds would be placed. Before planting, I thoroughly soaked the soil using water mixed with: 1g/L Bactrex 5ml/L Orgatrex After everything was ready, the seeds were placed into the soil and the pots were moved into My Little Farm. Here's what the beginning of the journey looked like: 04/04/2026 Planting Day. The journey officially began. Seeds were planted after fully preparing the soil and finalizing the setup for the new run. 06/04/2026 Lightly sprayed the soil with water to maintain proper humidity levels and create stable conditions for germination. 09/04/2026 Unfortunately, Grape Ape hadn’t sprouted yet, so I decided to replant the seed. The soil was remoistened carefully and the seed was given another chance. 13/04/2026 Success at last! 🌱 Grape Ape finally emerged from the soil. I welcomed her to the farm and wished her a safe and healthy journey ahead. Now I’ll give her a few days to properly establish herself before officially beginning the vegetation phase. That wraps up this introductory germination report. The journey has officially begun, and I’m incredibly excited to see how this grow develops over the coming weeks. Thank you all for stopping by, and see you very soon for the next update! 🌱
