Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba Kush X Burnt Toast (from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape An Exciting New Collab from Katsu Bluebird ! Week 11, & the End of 4 weeks of flowering (30 Days of 12/12) Welcome back to our regular scheduled programming.... Like I mentioned we are officially 30 days into our 12/12 lighting cycle. Now taking into consideration that this is one of the first runs of this particular strain the flower period is partially undetermined, I will be guessing based on Lineage of the parents, & following her closely towards the end to ensure my desired trichome ripeness. Katsu's HotCake's run's Approximately 8-9 Weeks & The Grape Ape run's slightly quicker at 7-8 Weeks You can certainly tell the difference between all 5 plants, I'm very glad I took cuts of everything ! as plants 2 & 3 are certainly the keepers of the bunch.. plant 2 showing some very cool fall colours already (emerson effect hitting strong asf) She is already starting to purple up & smells Very Sweet. My guess is this pheno leans more to the Grape Ape side. As far as plant 3 is concerned I can smell heavy Kush aromas emulating off her already, & based on her flowering structure I believe this pheno leans more Katsu Bubba. but we'll have to wait and see. A Minor amount of leaf plucking this week should be noted.. It will probably be the last time I mess with them, its time to start swelling up. It is my opinion that most of the stretch has been completed & i'm now looking at the final colas minus the couple weeks of filling out of course. As this is the end of four weeks of flower(12/12) Their food will be increased during the next feeding, thus far i've been impressed with the ease of this strain.. I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest but I will say this I was weary of over-feeding but all of them seem to enjoy heavy feedings. Thanks for Reading 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo

Week 1 of flowering 9/18/24 Took 4 clones a day before. Defoliated and trained plants. Watering 4 times a day (with little runoff at the first watering) changed nutrients to fit the transition from veg to flower (base chart from CocoForCannabis, with small changes to the nutrient line I have) put on another scrog (to keep the colas straight when they get too big for the branch to hold them)

Was a normal week nothing too special. Plants are looking abit frail so will be giving them some nutes. Couple abnormalities on a few leaves 🍃 😌 but will put that down to temp and genetics, we will see how they take to the feeding. Gonna turn up the light to give the plants more FOOD. Within the next few days I'm hoping to see more strength in the plants

This week went pretty well for my sour diesel auto. She Finally stopped growing vertically at about 48 inches to the top of the highest cola. We did have a serious heatwave and high humidity I been dealing with as well, but so far so good. The only thing I changed this week with nutrients is I raised my ec value to 1.6, at the advice of another grower, and the sour diesel took it like the piglet that she is. I am still on an 18/6 light cycle,which I plan to stay with the entire grow, and still feeding Maxibloom, calmag, and koolbloom. I am seeing some bright orange colored spots on the top leaves, but I am hoping it is just a little light bleaching. I have no experience with this as I have NEVER grown anything indoors before other than vegetable seedlings. I just wanted to say thank you to this community for all the advice, tips and encouragement along the way, very much appreciated all, and Blaze On!

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. The plants look great. Little bit of thrips damage, but other wise, they look great. Started flushing on Sun. They'll get ph adjusted tap water twice a week... with the run off, draining back into the reservoir. Plant #1 smells like lemon with some mango hints. plants #2 and #3 smell fruity with citrus hints. Will start the harvest on Aug 11th and it should take about 5 days to harvest or maybe 6. It depends on how tired I am and if I need a nap on one of those days to keep my energy up. I also put the buds into curing bags after 3 days hanging, which takes up more time. I've got some other plants to put in their places. and that will take us up to Oct. for that harvest. It's the Mac and Crack Diary. This is the last of Weirdo #8 and I will put more weird comics in my next diary. Check out my other diaries for more weird comics. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

The generous use of fertiliser in the last few weeks has done wonders for these plants. 🌱🔥 We’re now entering a stage where I’m quite happy for them to start using up the nutrients stored in their remaining leaves. I won’t stop adding fertiliser just yet, but I’ll reduce it to once a week. Since they’ve already progressed quite far, I’m not too worried about signs of deficiencies at this stage — it’s all part of the natural fade. Looking forward to harvest in two to three weeks! 😎✨ Stats so far: 💧 Watering: 1.5L every other day 💦 Humidity: ~55% RH 🌡️ Temp (lights on): 22–26°C 🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C 📈 Avg. VPD (lights on): ~1.45 kPa

2te Woche beginnt. Bisher läuft es glaube recht gut … Die kleinen wachsen brav … Habe mal 2 weitere Nutrients hinzugefügt und Versuche den VPD Wert irgendwie konstant zuhalten 🙈👍 Dank 4 Blumat Classic pro Topf reicht ab und zu bisschen sprühen aus dem Befeuchter… heute das erste mal die kleine Pflanze abgedeckt und ganz leicht von oben die trockene Erde mit den neuen Nutrients zusätzlich befeuchtet. Mal schauen was sie so bewirken …

She is growing well I did some defoliation around the bottom of the plant this week. Did some rearranging of the bottom branches and stuck them through the middle for better lighting. She looks great!!!

They have jumped again in height quite a bit this week; they are big plants to say the least. Each plant is approximately 5 ft (60inches) tall (2 are a little taller than that) and they are all about 4 ft (48inches) wide. They drink like horses do! I didn’t expect these plants to fill out their 10 gallon pots so quickly, but they are pretty well root bound. All in all these ladies are doing pretty well; this week I gave them a 70/30 mix of Gaia greens all purpose and power bloom, amongst a few other Gaia green products to boost phosphate and potassium, and continue to supplement with advanced nutrients additives once a week. I defoliated this week; and actually got quite violent with them to try to allow some more light to penetrate the canopy; you wouldn’t even know it 😑 Slowly they are changing their growth patterns; we are also loosing daylight in my hemisphere at the rate of about 2.5 minutes a day, hopefully that helps continue to ease them comfortably into flower 🌺

Its own personality At Kannabia Seeds we have put all our effort into bringing out our own feminized Monkey Grease, a cross between Monkey Grease x White Widow, focusing above all on giving it its own personality in flavor and aroma (frankly unmistakable) and, of course, in Highly demanded characteristics, such as high resistance to diseases and pests, and adaptability to all types of growing conditions, making it close and easy to grow to the widest possible range of growers. The result is a really powerful and versatile indica-sativa marijuana seed, with a powerful relaxing effect, ideal for those moments when you want to disconnect from the madding crowd.

Its versatility and adaptability make it a true all-rounder, with remarkably uniform results, whether you choose SOG, SCROG, hydroponics or guerrilla growing. Moreover, we invite you to experiment and play, varying the techniques from moment to moment, and to draw your own conclusions. We are convinced that in all cases, apart from minor variations, the results will always be optimal, giving remarkable yields and in a short time. Attention should be paid to its high bud production, which can be fat, dense and heavy, although its sturdy branches are able to bear heavy loads without major problems.
