************************************************
** I'll be reporting on both plants in this grow in a single harvest report. I will copy the same report to both diaries. I will try to make sure that my total production weights all work out correctly.
************************************************
This was the second time that I grew Double Grape. I still have a lot to learn to maximize the production of this plant. I noticed that one grower, who had a _bigger_ harvest than what I am reporting, said that his latest results were the worst he ever had! So, I still have a long way to go.
I had two plants under a single light. Here is how they produced:
Plant #1: 106.6 grams wet, 38.7 g dry. This is a 62% increase in dry weight when compared with my first crop.
Plant #2: 105.4 grams wet, 33.2 g dry. This is a 44% increase in dry weight when compared with my first crop. I don't know why the dry weight on this one was so much lower than Plant #1.
My total dry weight for both plants under 135W fixture is 71.9 grams or 2.8 ounces. I'm going to try to get at least another 25% per plant increase in my next garden.
The product smokes well, but I don't have other strains to compare it to. It is sweet and earthy and while it spurs a bit of creativity, mostly it is sedating. It's great if you are having problems sleeping.

Increased the plant's ability to access all of the phosphorous that it needs. I will be using it in my next grow.
Organic soil booster. Just beginning to use. I will be using this in my next grow.
Reviews. Lamp
This was my second attempt to grow organic. I made it much too complex. My many layers of bokashi and the problems this caused as the plant hit the levels is something that I want to avoid next time. I have a much simpler system planned for my next garden, but I am sticking with Nature's Living Soil, Fish Sh!t and Mammoth P, along with a number of other organic amendments.

Grow Questions
BladeCutterstarted grow question 5 years ago
The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏

it's mostly down to the temperature i suppose, actually the relationship between the temperature and the humidity regulates the stomatas on the leafs, if the VPD is not where it should be the stomatas can open or contract in a way that bends the whole leafs. Lots of new words, basically stomatas are the leaf pores, VPD is vapor pressure deficit. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I think it’s the watering part even tho your not overwatering you’re still watering it every day so that’s overwatering let it dry it needs an oxygen break before it gets watered again let it decide when it wants water not you ..

@240sxOG, I agree. I'd rather water every other day. This time I have a very light soil mix and will water in slightly greater amounts, but try to keep it to every other day.

Also adding coco to the soil is not a bad idea. It does improve drainage, coco doesn't hold onto water very long. 👍🌱Looking like lovely buds there. And your leaves are fine for this stage of growth, it is normal for them to do this when ripening

@Fruitgrower, thanks for the reply. I harvested both plants in the garden earlier this week. I'll have a full harvest report soon, but I'm hoping for about 25 g per plant dried. That would be about 14% more fruit from these plants than my previous organic garden. Always learning.

Nice buds on this girl as well!! Should be nice and sticky in the grinder:)
11 to 12 weeks is what I had with Mephisto Skywalker and my Sweet n Sour looks like she will be in the 11 week range as well.
Enjoy the smoke Boss!!!!!

@PrairieFrostGrow, I harvested my last Double Grape about a week earlier and I think that was too early. This one I let it run until the plant was full of fall colors. It is drying right now, but should be able to measure dry weight tomorrow. I'm hoping for over 28 grams/plant. I may be a bit short of that.

@Mr_Weeds_Autos, thanks for the kind words. If you have comments or questions, feel free. I like to chat.
After a long time as a small hydro/photo grower (strickly personal use and then sometimes short 😕) I've moved to organic and autos. What a change. I used to spend all my time trying to control the growth, height in particular. Now it's all about getting them as big as I can. Maybe I should really follow Mephisto's advice and basically grow them as SOG! (From their 2018 Strain Guide: Best Method for overall high yield - 9 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 15 Liter pots) I probably should crowd four into my 18"x18" (~0.4 m sq)!
